Japanese VA makes Rezaren sound like your generic pure evil guy, which he is not. Rezaren I absolutely adored! Both the character and his English VA. Roland I also preferred as an English VA as well cause he had that "vague" French accent that everyone from Orlais has, which the Japanese VA doesn't do. Lacklon was amazing and I preferred the English VA much more. Japanese VA sounded marginally better for me. She is only there to be a comic relief and nothing more. Qwydion as a character didn't do it for me. I checked out the Japanese VA after I was done and that one did a far far far better job than what Kimberly Brooks did here. And that's sad cause her character is the "protagonist" here. It honestly felt like she was bored to be there. All of her lines were emotionless and disconnected to what was happening on the screen. I adore Kimberly Brooks (Miriam), but not in this. But if they only got 6 episodes to work with and something had to be rushed I'm glad they decided to rush the intro so that the actual plot can have the proper pacing. I'd give it a higher score if the first episode was split into two or three episodes as I said. Is it the best thing since sliced bread? No. So overall I am glad I decided to continue after the horrible first episode cause I did enjoy this. The pacing is perfect, the story is entertaining, the characters are somewhat fleshed out. And I am glad I did because the other five episodes are much much better. Decided to continue anyway cause I had nothing better to do with my evening.
But instead we just got a TLDR of who is who and what the main objective is. The pilot could have easily been split into two or even three episodes to properly establish the characters and what the main quest is. The entire episode felt like a recap of the previous season that you haven't watched. The first episode is the absolute definition of RUSHED.
Once the credits rolled after the first episode I was ready to stop and leave a terrible review.
Netflix has disappointed me more times than it pleased me statistically. To be honest with you all I went into this expecting to hate it. I've been a fan of DA universe since Origins was a new thing on the block.
