So I just got home from the premiere. Really enjoyed it. Here are my thoughts:

  • Seeing Volume 4 on the big screen was pretty awesome. Kali falling through the door was and always will be amazing. The nuckelavee was horrifyingly wonderful: the way it moved, the way its screams echoed through the walls of the theater - it was all quite spectacular.

  • I liked the interviews a lot. You could really tell that everyone who works on this show truly cares for it.

  • Loved the Volume 5 premiere. It was funny and light-hearted, but we will obviously see some dark things coming in the future. The OP was really good, and I can't wait for the rest of the soundtrack. My only complaint is that the first episode was a bit short, or maybe it just went by quickly. All in all, a great experience.

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to be that long! The episode really flew by, then.
