An overwatch series animated by trigger would go so unbelievably fucking hard Also I wonder if bastion has a soft side for animals because Anubis was designed for conservation

I said it before and I'll say it again, I feel like Blizzard would be better off making an Overwatch animated series.

Whoever in chat said Aurora's speech at the end of ep. 3 was "Jeff's last words before leaving Overwatch"... sheesh that hits hard.

Echo: You are an R-7000 unit. The one humans call, um... Ramattra: "Ravagers", yes. "Squad killers" and... ruder things. Echo: Does it trouble you? Being so feared and hated. Ramattra: Once. Now, it gives me a warm little feeling inside. Ramattra: It's a shame none of us have met Aurora, your predecessor. Echo: I hear that often. Ahem... what would you have asked her? Ramattra: The same thing I ask every day... I wish she could respond.

My best friend and I used to talk about how an Arcane or Cyberpunk, hell even Avatar styled Overwatch animated series would be immaculate. I think going the Arcane route with an ATLA feel and style would be the best for them

FeelsStrongMan i get the shivers every effin time man, doesn't matter how much I rewatch this mini series

Pls don't leave overwatch Flats, you are 90% of the fun i have with this game. You are my favorite overwatch content creator, so please don't leave, it would be a massive blow to the community love you man!

Adter watching this mini series, the first thing that popped up in my head was a certain interaction between 2 in-game heroes, Echo and Moira, and it goes: Echo: “Dr. Liao was not fond of you.” Moira: “Was she any fonder of *you?* Echo: “Of course. *I was her life’s work.”* Moira: “It seems to me that *she was far more taken by your predecessor.”* After hearing the interaction in the game after watching the series, I was like: “Oh yeah, now that makes much more sense now.” 😂🤣

Seeing flat just now recognize that aurora is the iris speaks volumes on how little the OW lore is even made aware of. If money is being cut to the PVE skill trees more needs to be put into animated shorts

Wait, if aurora gave sentience to all omnics, does that mean that the roombas on horizon and Paris are living, sentient beings that we’re allowed to just straight up murder?

This just makes me even sadder for what a dedicated Overwatch PVE mode could have been.

blizzards animation team, storyboard team, and design team are genuinely 11/10 people, their talent is wasted on blizzard, and they could legitimately take on titans like disney and come out on top. i really hope blizzard gives these people the recognition they deserve because they are the biggest reason overwatch is still even ALIVE to this day.

I started playing overwatch because the art appealed so hard to me, I still just love it so much, and because the cinematics are too good. Thats why I collected all 'The art of Overwatch' books and 'The Cinematic art of Overwatch' books, if you are an artist like me and you like this game you will LOVE those books! Btw thanks for the lovely content as always Mr. Flats!

Aurora sacrificed herself for the freedom of all omnics. She's the IRIS, she's robo-jesus

Damn that gave me chills, shit I miss Aurora now 😭

8:45 Chatter: "Why is someone recording the war" what do you mean that's a whole job IRL

The Omnic Crisis had the perfect oppertunity to become a Second Renaissance.

It’s a decent start, but I want to see some of the short stories or comics animated.

14:55 I want you all to know, this is basically the same thing that Blizzard did in the Diablo universe with Uldyssian’s sacrifice.

I always wonder why people blame dr mina liao when she was the one that saved the world by making aurora and had nothing to with anubis

Overwatch is such a goated IP. It’s insane it gets locked behind pvp and a lack of actual lore and story.

Aurora’s speech hit me

an Overwatch anime sounds kinda cool ngl. they should. might save them

Thank you for all the content Flats 💖 grateful to have found your channels

It has a strong Animatrix vibe. the calm before the storm, the ads for "that" robotics corp, the time shit hit the fan.

I don't know why ramattra is the villain in overwatch, i hope they really handle his defeat or whatever well, though i dont have much faith. He was just another ravager fighting in this war under the control of Anubis, he got his freedom through aurora and heard her message. All the omnics that were alive at that point did, but any that were created afterwards, except like orisa and possibly echo, didnt. They are only a single generation, and instead of waiting around like Mondatta and the rest of the monks did, hes taking action because his people are extremely finite and being murdered. So like- hes literally not wrong--

Have yall seen the new in game one about sojourn. SO AMAZING

What I've been screaming for the last 8 years

I teared up

2027 is our year for the overwatch anime🤞

That scene in Part 2: Innocence showed 1 Tank, 3 DPS, and 1 Support. Was this made to emulate open queue where you could have any number of roles in the five-man team? I mean, Soldier, Reaper, or Torb would've had to be replaced to match the current role queue limit of 1 Tank, 2 Assassins (AKA "DPS" or whatever you want to call them), and 2 Supports.

Omnic Jesus made me cry

This means zen went from kill all to love all

hit's me like a truck, every time

Can even run from Ram ult in game how tf am I supposed to do it irl

8:47 someone in chat asked "why is someone recording the war" probably the dumbest comment I've seen considering whats going on irl currently.

Dude! I didn’t even realise that Aurora became The Iris!

Whoever the writers are… they are my family now.

I cried

The Overwatch 2 Limited Time PVE Modes Makes Me Want A Full Fleshed Out PVE Blizzard: Let me kill your hopes and dreams

Rammattra is Purple bc he kills/loves both Omnics and Humans

I wonder how many civilians Zen has killed

The Music goes harder than pve

Blizzard just needs movie to sell tbh fk the games, ow and Diablo movies would hit hard

I feel like no one realizes that the lady with the glasses turns herself into echo

4:55 And then Robot Naruto wrecked havoc upon the world. No but seriously, does it not look like Naruto at 4:55 ?

you know what I want? a full pve

Everyone said the same thing since Ana was released.

Seeing peoples reaction makes it so obvious most know nothing of the lore, as all the major plot points of this series was already known. Though it was nice to get some extra details with it

Matrix good ending achieved

No shot

What if Fortiche did an Overwatch series?

KarQ showed up at random? No shot.

Our next quote when a developer leaves, "Choose well" fellow gamers 18:00

Choose your own path now for only 20$ in the shop

Idk why they don’t just pull an arcane and make a series. The community asks for it all the time too

AURORA IS ROBOT JESUS

Aurora? Would

soooo aurora was an avatar for robot people??? basically??? (efi i see as the current avatar in overwatch) re atla (avatar the last airbender/legend of korra)

The fact that they havent made a series like this yet is shocking to me

OVERWATCH ANIMAE NOW NOW NOW GIVE IT TO MY GREEDY ASS

wait i dont watch the streams and i feel like ive seen flats see this already is this a reupload?

Anime NOW!

The Rainbow Six Siege and the Overwatch Animations, both CGI and Animated, are better than their games by a long run. But, they’re also way too short leaving viewers wanting more.

so aurora is zenyatta's god?

I had a thought that Aurora was Echo, but the comments and stuff are confusing me, so Echo is NOT Aurora, but instead someone completely separate from her?

15 minutes of narration, is this animated series or ai generated voice over of an OW wiki page?

it’ll never happen sadly

Finallllyyy :)

Reminds me of Team Fortress 2 where adult swim greenlit with valve to make a 10 episode animated series. But it never came through because valve was lazy and too slow to make even just 1 episode. We finally got that episode with the expiration day short, that was supposed to be the pilot for the TV show. The comic series was the plot for the other episodes, and those comics never got finished either, stopping at issue 6. Blizzard, like valve, sits on a goldmine IP, with beloved characters and endless story potential. But they aren't using it. Valve is due to lazyness and lack of commitment where as with blizzard I think it's more due to greed and top executives not giving a single flying fuck. Seems the only studio who understand the value of branching into other media is CDPR with edgerunners and Riot with Arcane. Every other game company with big established IP's not making TV shows are missing out, and always will miss their potential.

Wow this is going right over y’all neck if this doesn’t tell the end times wow this is sad

A bit exposition heavy, too much recounting in flashbacks. I hope the next chapters bring more action and character arcs.

This is probably going to end up like Cyberpunk Edgerunners, however it won't make the game better, due to blizzard's way of screwing over it's own fanbase for money. Damn shame. (Also I always thought some missions would be better off if they had a solo part for each player, then they group up together for the last part. like how they did in the old Gears of War games.)

No not an anime, make a series that uses their cinematic animation style.

is this the tiktok guy?

An overwatch anime would do better then the game

They'd just make an Overwatch anime all about queer ideology if it was made now

Five minutes ago 🎉

FIRST WOOOOO

1st

Honestly this mini series is awful. 15 fps... a majority static images.... Incredibly low quality animation that's about as bad as DC studios movies.... With the production quality they can put out for the hero shorts... This is shameful... They can literally do CG animation on par with dreameworks and we get this sad animation quality... they should be delivering us animation on par with attack on Titan, the 1000 year blood war, or baki hanma.... Or why don't we get a full on CG animated series.. All around this series is absolute trash. Especially from the perspective of me. I animated better animation in middle school 20 years ago in Macromedia Flash MX home studio, and by myself with no production team.... like significantly better, it's sad.

just abandon the game and do animated series or movie whatever

ye you look like you watch anime
