English Dub Review: Demon Lord 2099 “The Depths of the Crucible”

Overview:

Machina lets her thoughts drift to Veltol as she prepares dinner. Meanwhile, Veltol learns new facts about the Immortal Furnace, and while he tries to inform Machina using Whisper magic, he gets no response. At the same time, Machina has an unexpected visitor…

Our Take:

I love this show, honestly, that’s one of my favorite things about this job. If it wasn’t for being assigned this show I don’t know if I ever would have watched it. But I would have been missing out because I am enjoying the characters and the tropes at play. I love it when enemies become allies and when I saw Veltol seek out the hero for help in rescuing Machina I was stoked.

Ian Sinclair is the perfect choice for Veltol because he can play both sides of this character. Veltol can be both a powerful ruler and a silly V-Tuber all in the same breath. No one can bring two facets of a character like that together like Ian in my opinion.

This has been one of those shows I’m legitimately excited to watch each week. I hope that doesn’t change but it has been a unique setting with some different setups we don’t normally see in this genre.
