Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem - A Klok Opera

Please, ignore the negative reviews written by mouth-breathers with no taste trashing this special: One of them thinks that The Hot Chick with Rob Schneider is a good movie, and that should be enough to tell you what they know.

This is a great finale for the fourth season of Metalocalypse, and is such a shame the fifth season was cancelled. Fortunately, a new movie is being made, but just because some buffons with no taste disliked it had nothing to do with the cancellation of the series. (It has much more to do with the.stinginess of Adult Swim and their reluctance to invest money in quality animated shows instead of boring live-action sitcoms)

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!

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 😮

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 loved the series and have seen every episode at least 4 or 5 times with a few exceptions. Yet this sticks out as the worst thing they have done. I watched again very recently when all the hype was over and still wasn't impressed. It sounded so good on paper especially with how well Brandon plays guitar but minus adding a bit of back story to characters I felt they could have summed up what happens in like a sentence.

The animation is great as it always was however. There were times I really felt they should have hardcoded the subtitles onto the screen to understand what the heck they were saying without running for the subtitles. I felt the network should have passed on this concept and let them tell this story in their usual fashion as fans don't like change. If not make a 30 minute episode out of this at best. Call me crazy but I truly believe this is why we didn't get any more extra seasons of the show after this.

Unless you're an absolute die hard fan like even the Jomfru brothers who run diefordethklok in the series would tell you to chill. Skip this. It's not worth streaming and I heard there is even an album with some of these forgetful songs out. I never bothered with it because of how awful the songs are.
