That’s a very interesting review, and one I’d recommend everyone interested in long-form machinima should read.
I was particularly interested in his “20 minute mark” – it’s a working theory amongst the BloodSpell team that one thing that hurt us was the short episode length, which didn’t give non-Machinima fans a chance to get used to the aesthetic. We’ll see how that pans out with the feature-length version.

So much of 3D-computer animation over the years has been striving for photorealism that a mindset has become entrenched that you can’t have 3D-computer animation that doesn’t resemble reality. Where other forms of animation seem to be received with more of an open mind.
