This new art style suggests a level of dignity that this party absolutely does NOT possess, which makes it even funnier.
to be fair, at the time, most of this party felt serious and thus warranted of Dignity but in recent episodes..... yeah....
I feel like the Bells Hells are more serious than the Mighty Nein were.
I don’t think ANY of the CR parties have much dignity to speak of?
@@michaelbrowne3088 Mighty Nein was at least comically drawn for their recap animation, reflecting how messy and chaotic they are.
Let's be fair, they do have their moments. Laudna's whole nega-Whitestone arc for example.
The effect on Sam’s voice just adds that extra zing.
right? so used to hearing the live version that i never considered they might not actually sound like that. now I wish sam could just always have a voice filter lol
Also loved the Phantom Tongue, as if they're not sure to make it Canon or not.
@@croatiancowboy He actually probably could. Just need to put a voicemodulator inline with his mic on set.
He needs a foot pedal like Ashley had in her one shot for the ‘Mother’ voice. Then every time FCG speaks, he can push it and the sound is robotified.
@@croatiancowboy they just need to talk inside an empty MILO can, on set and its done
I love how they included Dorian as part of Bells Hells. Most guest characters come and go but it seems like Dorian is here to stay even if he is gone right now. I hope Robbie returns in the future Dorian was one of my favorite characters.
*edit* Thanks for the assistance, my mistake
Dorian's in the end card, but Chetney isnt. I suspect they are planning to add/remove the group shots as the party morphs (if it comes to that)
I am sure at some point at least Dorian and maybe even a few of the Crown Keepers might show up in C3 for a bit. I have been wondering if they are working on doing a new EXU miniseries soon, there have been tiny hints but nothing solid. Or maybe after the solstice if things don't go entirely pear shaped Bell's Hells will end up in Tal-Dorei tracing things back/getting proof to Ludinus through how he was smuggling contraband across the world and maybe meet up with the Crown Keepers. Still think the Nameless ones and League of Miracles are part of the same group that Thull is part of, there are just too many similarities...
My exact thoughts.. With the way they have included him in all the artwork and even having Robbie send a response instead of Matt just doing it.
And fanboy in me wants to ship Dorian and Orym. Plus they hinted at a fairly complex backstory that Dorian could use some help with....
Robbie is coming back
@@TheAserghui you mean at 3:37? That's because Chetney wasn't there for the furniture fight.
@@MarkiMcMark No the thumbnail it shows all of them including Dorian
Ashton throwing a coin to FCG and the ghost meat tongue sold me on this.
Shrodinger’s Meat Tongue
(matt’s agonized voice) It’s not canon!!!
(1:18)
omg I missed that the first time... LOL rip Matt
@@beeta137it is now! 😂
This is beautiful:
- Art is just /chef's kiss/
- Dani's lovely narration
- The voices (and that extra effect on FCGs voice is adorable)
- Hearing Dorian/Robbie again
/sobs/
- Early Chetney introduction!!!
Chef's kiss, 100%. Just charming and so well done!
I love the voices! It's like an introductory line in a Fire Emblem game!
I’m absolutely obsessed with these animated recap shorts
The art style is like a little storybook. I'm in love.
I have a feeling they might make a storybook down the line too
I, for one, am very happy the old digital style is gone, it was really rubbing me all the wrong ways.
The current style suits the "general fantasy" aesthetic so much better.
I’m already so obsessed with this. The art style is GORGEOUS
You can't trick me to thinking this party is anything other than a clusterfuck, I watched last night's episode.
They nearly died of laughter trying to order shrimp.
I love FCG’s voice in this. If a Bell’s Hell’s animated show comes out, we need the same voice.
If he were still alive, Kevin Conroy would’ve made a great Lord Esterhoss… As it stands, Charles Dance is my top choice.
@@repulser93 So right.
We can only wisp
I think, if they would ask of the fans (which i doubt they need to, we'll throw money at the project anyway) they could very feasibly make an animated show for all their campaigns. Some of the M9's story is peak storytelling and it would benefit greatly from animation. Same goes for bells hells!
I know Robbie was just a guest, but man he had the best chemistry with the rest of the players and characters, I would truly love to see him back with the Bells Hells
Fr, i would love to have him as a permanent member of CR, he brought such a great vibe
I wished they also added Bertrand Bell on this recap besides the art piece; he is the reason why all of them came together ❤
Holy moley, the production value is through the roof! Keep it up, there's nothing here you'd wanna miss, even if you've watched every episode a dozen times.
literally tearing up so bad over seeing dorian and hearing his voice, i’ve missed my favorite bard so much
What a gorgeous art and animation style! I adore it! Not to mention it's great hearing their "true" voices i.e. how they'd sound in a professional animation with the added effects to FCG's voice or just the more measured distinctness to each one
Part of me feels like Storybook recap feels like a much more fitting title, that aside these are so incredibly well done, I adore the line work that makes up the art and it is nice to see their color to help get a better visual of what each character looks like.
I loved hearing Robbie's voice again, after ep. 41 🥺 I miss Dorian so much 😭💙
Ooh I appreciate the new art style to accompany the different tone of campaign 3!
Yes!! I've missed these for the M9 but I'm so glad to see they're making these for Bells Hells! 💛
This felt like the opening intro to an indie studio’s rpg. Love it.
The voice effect for FCG is adorable. It makes me look forward to a "Legend of Bells Hells" series if we ever get one in the distant future!
I don't really watch CR anymore but am absolutely DELIGHTED that Travis gets to be a werewolf this time around. Good for him
You should've seen all the OOC banter that led up to Travis/Chetney's reveal, oh my god
There was talk of werewolves attacking the town and Liam just casually goes "Man, Travis, you missed your opportunity to be a werewolf" and Travis and Matt were like "DON'T SAY IT DON'T HINT AT IT DON'T DON'T DON'T"
then Chetney busts out for the first time and everyone starts going nuts and Liam's popping OFF
@@Kiyobi Which episode did Liam say that? I totally missed it somehow.
@@RiverCrystal I can’t find a single clip or clue about which episode, but I remember it too. I want to say it’s when Travis was playing Bertrand still
@@talitherose Actually, Chetney already joined the team at that point.. I think it was literally a few episodes before the Werewolf reveal.. Or it might even be in the same episode.. I don't remember..
It was the fight agains Ira, the Nightmare King. The discovery werewolves existed, Liam’s comment, and the transformation.
I could literally watch a recap of every episode in this style it's so gorgeous and detailed alongside the voice overs of the characters giving it the special touch
Hearing Robbie's voice again is just so wonderful!))
pls make more of these... i keep getting behind a recap refresher anything from s3 would be nice
I love the art switch from M9. I feel like it totally fits the tone for the campaign and the direction it’s heading
loved Joanna's art of Jester's sketchbook doodles, so nice to see her art in this form for the Bells Hells
Is that who did it? I loved their Jester sketchbooks on Tumblr! Such a nice drawing style!
I'm so glad that Dani has gotten a head start on this season (at least compared to the last one)
I feel like all she was waiting for was the official logo / symbol for Bells Hells 😂 I’m so excited for more!!!
@@talitherose Understandable! Plus the time it takes to actually animate it
Who knew that a rag tag band of adventures could look so absolutely adorable!
Wonderful art style, looking forward to seeing all their shenanigans in animated form
Words will really never describe how much I appreciate the immense amount of effort critical role puts into D&D. It's my favorite game ever made and seeing the explosion of interest in the last decade makes my life complete. I have never had so many people to play with and I think it's really my favorite part of life. Nothing matches highs or lows of a D&D campaign and nobody does a better D&D campaign than Critical Role. Love you guys keep up the great work
i love how they all had interesting descriptions and for chetney they were just like " and this little dude carves wood"
We are 76 episodes and 2 years into Bell's Hells... We NEED another one of these! It's BEAUTIFUL!
I feel like I'm watching the opening cutscene to the best RPG I'll ever play! Gorgeous.
What a beautiful style and a brilliant new take on the animated recap format! We've had the official art all this time but it's so fun seeing the voices to the characters.
The FURNITURE IS ALIVE!!!!
"shouted about 20 feet away"

Yaasss!!! I've been waiting for a Critical Recap of season 3 FOREVER! Loved it for season 2 (though I don't think it was ever finished) and look forward to more BEAUTIFULLY animated recaps of the adventures of Bells Hells!
It did get finished, actually!
I love the nod to the title of the first C3 episode, "The Draw of Destiny," with the last line Dani says in the recap. Amazing :D
A little sad to not see the full animated cartoon but this is style gives it its own unique feeling and it’s always nice to here the canon voices from a sound booth instead of on the spot
I'm hoping to see some animated motion once we start recapping events. Also hoping to see Dani animated in the new style!
I've always loved these animated recaps, Dani tells them so well, but Dani's narration with this new art adds a how new level of storybook quality and I love it
Dani's great at narration, and her job at CR, Lore Keeper, sounds like so much fun.
I need a lot more of these, i love Dani's voice and the simple style of animation merge in a wonderful combination.
I didn't realize how good their voices were until this video. The voice acting really is strong.
Im excited to see more of Dani Carr getting to do her thing with the lore through an animated recap! Thx for your hardwork Dani!
Yay! I’m so happy to see recaps are going to be made for Bell’s Hells! And the art style is GORGEOUS!! I grew to like the cartoony style of the M9 recaps but this on a whole other level
PLEASE tell me there are going to be more of these, they're SOOO GOOD! The art style really fits the characters!!
THIS IS EVERYTHING *hearteyes* I love all of the art so much, and Dani's recaps are always the best. Missed that this being released today, what a treat to discover!
They've done a marvelous job fitting all the character info into 4 minutes. Now I need to go watch it again and look at all the backgrounds :D I would watch every single episode recapped in this style (I know that's not in the cards, so much work must go into these, but I WOULD, it's just a delight.)
“WTF is up with that” needs added to merch.
PLEASE KEEP THESE GOING! I LOVE THEM
I’ve never been this early! So excited to hear Dani’s voice again! I love her so much.
Well, this was pretty amazing. I LOVED the animations, and the quips from each person. It was so sweet to hear Robbie again! And it was a huge kick up in immersion to hear FCG the way Sam does in his head. The voice modulation added a real depth to the fact that FCG is a robit. Dani did great with narrating!
I just realized, Orym emanates video game main character vibes, and the other characters are the wacky teammates the main character needs to beat the main villain.
this art style is seriously on fire! reminds me of the old disney robin hood from my childhood, sort of sketchy feel but rich colors and expression. love it
for a second I was wondering why Sam sounded like he recorded FCG's VO on a phone on the table while he was leaning back in the couch but then I remembered they are an automaton without human vocal chords .-.
Are we ever gonna get any more of these? Not sure how the release schedule works but I was really excited about this and I’m surprised there haven’t been any more posted.
OMG this was a delight to watch. I hope to see more of this art style and to hear the lore keeper once again. there would be a giant hole in Critrole without her. Best lore keeper in the business.
OOH THIS IS SO GOOD! I always LOVE this animated recaps!
3rd time's the charm. It'd be nice to see this entire campaign recapped through animation all the way through
Beautifully done
This is cool! It made me realise how much I miss the 1st person character introductions from campaign 1 :'( You always got little reminders about each person's objectives, something C2&3 dropped in favour of big plot reveals.
I like to think Chetney is older than metal, and thinks of it as the new technology your grandparents refuse to learn
Ok I know it was only a sec but if this gets animated and that's how FCG voice going to sound like I'm totally here for it.
I like that Travis had a southern accent last campaign and Laura has one this time. It's like they have to share it so they take turns.
I LOVE the artstyle used for this!
That FCG's "flesh tongue" catching the coin was a nice touch :D.
This is nice! Also, it can be very useful in situations like the recent brake due to the mighty nine two-shot and thanksgiving etc. By the time the new episode came out I totally forgot where we left off, forgot about a couple npcs' names and backstory and stuff like that. Keep it up!
This is great! I love the Animated M9 recap so much and have been waiting for the Bells Hells version to come out! Wasn't expecting the wildly different art and general style of this one but I'm very pleasantly surprised. We're in for a ride, guys!
Love the art style! And Dani's voice is so full of excitement and adventure in the way she tells the recap, so happy to have this back
Loving the art in this recap!
i was already excited for the animated recap but omg this is absolutely stunningggg
Really nice to see different art as a way to set things apart. They're both good, but I'm liking the mood here
Oh I LOVE this animation style so much more!!!
oh my god this is gorgeous
The art style for this one is so pretty!
ohhhh I love the new art style so much!
Really happy to have animated recaps back. 🙂
This was well crafted, nice work.
✌️💙
that was freaking gorgeous. BRAVOOO!!! especially to the editor and artist but everything even the writing and the lines the characters say are amazing (it really emphasises their personalities and backgrounds)
This is awesome! FCG’s voice is what made me laugh hard. I kinda like this recap thing, and thinking back to the beginning can always help you remember what you are starting from.
This is lovely! And I can't wait to see more of these! (AND YAY FOR INCLUDING DORIAN!) Though I do have to wonder that we're jumping in at roughly episodes 8/11 with Chetney's intro and his respective reveal...
What a gorgeous illustration style so much love and attention to detail went into everything … this gave me goosebumps in the best way and I smiled to myself - yes I do love the bunch a lot 🔔🔥
Laudna is the first Marisha Ray character to wear sleeves that cover her shoulders
That was.... That was incredible. I love the animation of each character.
These recap videos are incredible!
The drawings and the narration were amazing and beautiful, I love it so much.
Watching this makes me really want to see the party in a different medium, I actually can't wait for the eventual/ potential bells hells graphic novels I'm looking forward to ashtons backstory
i love the new art style! and seeing this just makes me absolutely YEARN for dorian/robbie back at the table, omg
i miss him so much! wish he wasnt gone
When are these suppose to be coming out? It's been over a year and this is the only one we've had.
Beautiful. Congratulations to the CR team who made this. Very cool. Joanna Johnen's artwork is spot on.
The lovely art from this recap is amazing!
I wish we would get a second episode of this.
Really enjoyed that art, animation and editing. Great job guys!
I love this art! It looks amazing! And I’m excited to see Mighty Nein & Bells Hells, get officially animated!
Coming back to this video after last night's stream hits differently.
So good. Hope we get an animated series some day!
I loveeeeee the Bells Hells Signature
Love love love this art style
Jesus! The animation and voice acting is just top notch!! Kudos to all! ❤
The orevious format of animated recap was great, but this is truly amazing. I love this style so much.
Oh this is gorgeous! I can finally keep up with these as they go up too
The chapter of this covering episode 65 cannot come soon enough
aw this art style is so adorable!!
If y’all ever heard the audio books of dungeon crawler Carl, I imagine the AI as what FCG would sound like.
I am pretty happy to hear this ☺️☺️
