Early reviews are in, and The Mighty Nein is a hit! The new animated series, based on the popular Critical Role campaign, launched with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Set in the world of Wildemount, the show offers a more mature story, mixing intense political struggles, powerful magic, and compelling characters.
The Mighty Nein reviews lead to perfect Rotten Tomatoes score
Okay, so I’m really excited about this new animated series, The Mighty Nein, and it’s getting incredible buzz! Critics have given it a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is huge. As of right now, it’s listed as ‘Fresh’ for Season 1, though we haven’t seen audience reviews yet. It’s being tagged with a ton of genres – action, adventure, comedy, drama, fantasy, animation – so it sounds like it’s got something for everyone. And just a heads-up, it’s rated TV-MA, so it’s definitely geared towards a more mature audience. It drops on Prime Video November 19th, and I’m already marking my calendar!
Viewers say the series builds upon the story of Critical Role’s second campaign. Collider described it as a more mature and visually impressive fantasy adventure, and pointed out that it improves on the style of The Legend of Vox Machina.
ScreenRant praised the series as the most ambitious animated adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons yet, and noted it’s even better than what came before. Nerdist called it ‘nearly perfect,’ highlighting a story that’s more complex, mature, and risk-taking than the previous version.
Tasha Huo wrote the series. Along with Huo, Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, Ben Kalina, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham served as executive producers. Titmouse animated the show, and the main voice cast includes Laura Bailey, Marisha Ray, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Liam O’Brien, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham.
Reviewers praised how the show builds out the world of Exandria and increases the conflict between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty. The story centers around the theft of the Luxon Beacon, which drives much of the plot.
As a big fan, I’ve been reading a lot about the new season, and it sounds like they’re really shaking things up! Apparently, episodes are longer – around 45 minutes – which is great because they’re diving deeper into the characters’ histories. What’s even more interesting is that they’re hitting the big plot points earlier on. A lot of the buzz centers around how the show is tackling some heavy stuff – characters are really grappling with past trauma, keeping secrets, and constantly switching sides. It sounds like it’s going to be a really emotionally complex season!
