Put that same short animation in cinematics with the right lines (it was really corny so make it more "Diablo like") and it would've been epic. Obviously that would take a lot of work but yeah, anime + diablo = bad. | ||

It wasn't terrible, but the stories in Diablo, IMO, are meant to be really gory and evil; cinematics are the only way to really tell the Diablo story besides the actual game. Put that same short animation in cinematics with the right lines (it was really corny so make it more "Diablo like") and it would've been epic. Obviously that would take a lot of work but yeah, anime + diablo = bad. I agree with you in theory but I really really enjoyed it. I watched it twice, was better the second time too. The only problem I have is that it kind of reminds me of Dawn of War cinematics.. "We press on brother." I do not like Dawn of War lore. | ||

Though I like how Blizz tried something new with their cinematics and I wish they made Tyreal less cheesy in his "STOP! this is not justice" l0l looks good for sure though | ||

Auriel is the sensible one, Malthael and Ithariel are the neutral ones, Tyrael is the idealistic one, Imperius is the one committed to the destruction of all who stand in the path of Heaven. It sorta makes sense, even after playing D2 again and chatting with Tyrael and Izual. | ||

Uh, so Auriel is Raphael, Malthael is Uriel, Tyrael is Gabriel? They all fit(sorta). Auriel is the angel of wisdom and healing, of mercy. Malthael kills things, but is portrayed as also being a weapon for justice. Tyrael is the messenger of the angels to humanity, and sympathizes with them. | ||

It is very much in his style, with Diablo lore / storyline. Personally I loved it. | ||

I liked that alot actually. It isn't as diablo-esque as many have mentioned but I'm digging the story aspect. Let your minds fill in the rest that happened inbetween the beginning battle and diablo. I have to say though, the part in the battle where they both miraculously scar each other. That was the cheesy part. Everything else was class A diablo script for me. | ||

Malthael, angel of wisdom AND death. Only neutral angel on the council I think. Ithariel and Imperius are the hawks(relatively), Tyrael and Auriel are the doves(again, relatively). | ||

I hope the actual in-game lore is better than this though. On May 09 2012 06:55 Praetorial wrote: Malthael, angel of wisdom AND death. Only neutral angel on the council I think. Ithariel and Imperius are the hawks(relatively), Tyrael and Auriel are the doves(again, relatively). He's not necessarily the angel of death, he just physically resembles death. He is mostly neutral because he apparently went all nihilist when the Worldstone was stolen. The whole hawk/dove thing doesn't really fit for the others besides Imperius/Auriel. | ||

The animation has a quirky style that you see in newer cartoons too, it's as if they didn't have much time on their hands. Static backgrounds and the cellshading-type coloring makes the entire thing just look flat. But it's nice to see a bit more from the story. Maybe I should check the books as well... Agreed, the graphics were ''OK'' but they definitely reminded me of the cheaply animated Saturday morning cartoons for kids. Back in MY DAY (I now sound like I'm 80 years old), cartoons were drawn and animated with better care. | ||
