It definitely fills the niche of young adult animated content that is severely lacking stateside. Still, the main characters are teenagers more often than not. The content tends to be more mature - there’s more blood and action and darker themes than in Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and other all-ages animated fare.

But they are still primarily focused on young protagonists and coming-of-age arcs, which, while fulfilling, represent an age demographic I’ve grown out of. They’re amazing shows that tell compelling stories with interesting characters.

That is not to say they’re not good I love The Owl House, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and other shows that fit this bill. The vast majority of animated genre shows in America are still mostly tailored for a younger audience. But with the second season finished, I realized that The Legend of Vox Machina was filling a specific niche that I didn’t even realize I was looking for: It’s an animated and serialized fantasy show about adults, for adults. Animation is, after all, my favorite medium, and the fact that hours and hours of gameplay and lore were now presented in an easier-to-jump-into way definitely appealed to me.

Even though I’ve never watched an episode of Critical Role, I fell deeply in love with The Legend of Vox Machina, the animated series based on the actual play web series.
