Abundance of risque humor that may not be enjoyed by some and partial nudity Every scene is a feast for the eyes, even those that last just a few seconds. A welcome addition of lore to the franchise So I would most certainly recommend watching those as well. It is however, enjoyed much more when having been exposed to the Wakfu and Dofus series. Wakfu and Dofus have always had some of the best animation in the industry, this is most certainly no different. If you do not come for the story, characters or universe they inhabit, you'll most likely be charmed by the lovable characters, and beautiful art by the end of it. The voice acting and audio is top notch, the animation is smooth, brimming with detail and subtle movements. What passes in France, may not pass elsewhere, nudity is present, albeit not frontal, and there is blood in relatively small amounts, so parents be advised. Despite the film being bright, and cutesy, make no mistake, this is not a film for children in some countries. I did like the characters, but I did feel they substracted a bit much from our main protagonist. My biggest critiques would be the ending being rushed, and the wanton libido between two of the characters Khan and Bakara, they're a humorous duo, but I feel it gets in the way of Joris' story and some of the great scenery done by the artists. The pacing of the film is a bit strange, part of this is due to the fact it's a movie and not a series. Whilst the animation, and the story is truly wonderful. They're some of the most passionate men and women in either industry, and have a considerable cult following.ĭofus - Book I: Julith tells the childhood story of Master Joris Jurgen, the hero of the city of Bonta, it continues off of the Dofus: Treasures of Kerubim animated series and ties in with the Wakfu series special episodes, but does not require any pre-existing knowledge of the franchise to appreciate. So while a younger person might find the voices fun, it actually makes it quite difficult for someone to understand them.Another gorgeously animated work from Ankama, and a wonderful way to kick off their first feature length film! A company of animators and game designers, known mostly for their MMORPGs Dofus and Wakfu. Even though it was aimed at a younger audience the characters here all have distracting accents that make it very difficult to understand. Like with Wakfu, I tried to practice my french while watching the shorts but it was even worse here. I do like that it tried to show how the characters had evolved over the years however. It doesn’t help that the movie drags and there aren’t as many memorable characters nor a very compelling plot. The story is a little more in the vein of something from Wakfu and I think the movie suffers a bit for it as I didn’t expect this tone for the movie. Here you have a slightly older Jaris and it’s his adventure this time. The animation is even nicer than in the show, which for a bunch of shorts the animation was as good as Wakfu’s so it is impressive for both. The show spawned a movie which judging by the title they were planning for more but didn’t quite get to doing them. Not to mention that the show actually has an ending. The show really has a little bit of everything including comedy, action and good stories. It is true the majority follow this format but not that also doesn’t discredit the stories as some are nice.īut we do get a nice mixture of stories, you have a multi-part episode, you get to meet recurring characters, you see the origin of events and items that are in the background or described in other episodes and you even get some stories that are in the “present” day which are just as fun. The first few episodes set up the status quo and after that we star getting a few episodic shows and if you don’t watch much more than that you may very well think that all episodes are like that. While most of the show is indeed episodic which is one of the main criticisms this show offers a lot.
