Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera

I can't imagine why anybody who was a big fan of the series wouldn't love this. First it's a musical, I suppose if you dislike musicals that might be difficult to get past. It brilliantly concludes the aeries picking up right where season 4's cliffhanger left off. It shows some of the bands origins that were never shown in the series. The animation is typical of the series but feel a bit more polished. The music is epic and brilliant, cover numerous genres mostly metal at its core, technically flawless with brilliant orchestral incorporation. It's a bit odd, but fun, and true to the series. I noticed my son had taken a strong liking to musicals and this came out when he was 1yo so I had to dig it out and show him... I listened this when he was a baby. 12 years later it's amazing still and he agreed, I was haunted by his statement that it sounded familiar 😮

Its not like the show and is its own thing. Think about the work put in to making new music for everything. I love the music and the vibe. Its funny too.

Brandon Small will always be an inspiration.

As mentioned I don't like musical genre for films, but this case is the opposite. I couldn't move my attention from the show for the whole 45 minutes.

After watching the entire serie we reach this crucial point of the story. We started playing and see duration though about a special chapter like joining a few into a single one.

Didn't expected to be a musical, as didn't look at the chapter title before playing it. The first impression was good, as the music introduces well, then is song after song in a nice combination of storytelling and music.

It is so the case that personally I like even more than the movie that closes the serie. I fully recommend it.

I think any show should stick with what got it to a finale in the first place and this just changed it up into a long music video about some thin plot. It was terribly thin and jarring to get cringey shoehorned songs just to have it be an "opera". I think a self contained opera for the sycophants that wasn't part of the overall story would have been better. Then the story content here could have been merged with what was in the latest 2023 finale. Both of the "finale" movies are disappointing to most people other then the hardcore lovers of the music opera style which are really a minority due to the fact that the base show was NOT a constant music video-opera. That's what got a total of 4 seasons on the air, stick with that.

The humor, the absurdism, the colorful characters and more are missing here and in the 2023 movie. Sad way for it all to end.

I'll be totally honest, as with many fellow reviewers, I'm not typically a fan of "musicals". However, this was absolutely incredible!

Recently became a Metalocalypse fan, and it was the best decision I have made yet. This wraps up the entire show in the best way I could have asked for. As far as show finale's go it was hands down the best I have ever seen. It's gory, creepy, serious, funny, and just down right Metal!

The people judging it harshly for being a musical lack credence. I have massive respect for Brendon Small and the other creators for delivering this metal themed animated opera. It shows a significant amount of creativity, passion, dedication, and intellect to be able to come up with something so sophisticated and be able to pull it off so well.

I need more Metalocalypse!
