As I refreshed my memory looking over some of the content out there on the web it shocked me how much it has come forward in production value. From the past stereotype of the DIY lo-fi productions you expect from the internet damn they got good at what they do :3 Makes me happy to see not only internet content getting better but more that more serious people taking the internet into their sights. So I compiled this short top 5 web series list!

5. The Black Dawn
This is a pretty serious web series that got me hooked. After the first episode I was like “Holy crap what the hell just happened!?”. Not so original as I’ve heard those stories before and anyone who has seen the BBC series “Survivors” might recognize a lot of the ideas but it’s still worth a watch.

The 4. 21 Conspiracy
This is another interesting series that shows that it’s not all comedy out there, this fairly indi looking piece from Australia got me hooked at the first episode, I just HAD to watch the rest! That’s what a good web series does, they are like little tit bits of awesome wrapped up in a 5 minutish package, just enough to swallow in one go and not enough to satisfy you so you have to go back for more! Though I thought the ending a little meh, the whole set up was brilliant. It’s hard to conclude something like that well, and though I think it was done well it was just a little depressing and not really “OMFG WOW”. Maybe The best way to keep a secret like that is not to tell it?

3. Karma Kula
OK so this is a very slow moving epic web series I stumbled across recently. It’s kinda… not so engaging and quite hard to get into. I think it’s a very good example of how maybe the big screen still holds the the key to master drama and epic scenes. It could be due to the ficle nature of watching web TV, maybe if you have a few minutes to sit back and really watch something this would be more engaging. Oh but it has THE coolest fight scenes EVER in ANY web series EVER in the history of TIME >_>
It reminds me of the old spaghetti westerns with the long pauses but that could be said of a lot of the eastern “kung fu” films too. The score seems very western though, it takes me back to Ennio Morricone, and the cheesy one liners are kinda appalling in a western way =p

I’d like to note that on later watching this series when I have a bit more time I was able to appreciate it more. Maybe epic drama can be done on the web?

2. ask a ninja

Not much to say here, it’s the simplest preset for a video series. An enthusiastic ninja answers your questions awesomely. How could it fail!?

1. The Guild
This is a personal favorite of mine being a big WoW fan myself, it is pretty much true to the word what it’s like. I am totally Zabu, Airina is totally Codex :P
