It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

If you like mystery, sci-fi and horror, you should take a look on "Broken saints" a unique and surreal animated series, being thrilling and emotional at the same time. After I saw the fist episode, I was captivated by the style used by Brooke Burgess: the music,the voices, the atmosphere, the use of colors, everything on "Broken Saints" fits very well with the dark tone of the series. The animation style is quite interesting:Like a comic, characters on the most part remain in static poses and dialogue is indicated by speech balloons. However, rather than exclusively using sequential panels, animated sequences are used to switch scenes and help advance the story, while some music and sound effects are included, lending a more cinematic experience than one would ordinarily achieve with a comic strip alone. And the result of all of this is "Broken Saints", a series that deserves more appreciation that it actually receives.I recommend this tittle to every animation fan.

This was simply one of the best web animations that I have ever seen. Not since "The Maxx" (Another magnificent animation) have I seen such a captivating mystery story like this. "Broken Saints" is something complex and dark, but at the same time, incredibly fascinating, which never disappoints. Even when the first episodes are a bit slow, I found the overall result to be so rewarding that I wasn't bothered by the way in which the plot advances. In fact, I enjoyed a lot every single moment from this series, since every event which takes place in "Broken Saints" is presented in a very interesting manner which lets the viewer wondering what is going to happen next (I think that it also helped that the fact that the art, music and voice acting from this web series were incredibly well done)"Broken Saints" was the first motion-comic that I've seen in my life. And to this day, it remains being my favorite. The use of all the common animation techniques and visual elements from future motion-comics are perfectly well used here, resulting in something unique and fascinating, which even today is still one of the best (If not the best) examples from this genre, showing all the potential and brilliance that it could have.Taking cues and elements from the most diverse origin (American comics, Japanese animation, television shows like "Twin Peaks" and "The Prisoner" and movies like "Brazil", "The Wizard of Oz" and "Fight Club") the final result is one of the most magnificent examples of what could be done through New Media and how isn't necessary to have a big budget in order to create a visually impressive masterpiece.10/10 (I would give this eleven stars if I could)

Quintessentially brilliant. Broken Saints is a profoundly thought provoking work of art, a rarity in recent times, yet this more than compensates for the lack of intellectually challenging, mind moulding and deep philosophical moments in the medium world of film. Utterly encapsulating.Merging styles from varying art forms, notably Japanese anime and fusing it with a free-flowing comic book/graphic novel style it is utterly unique. Not all may appreciate its subtle movements and intense patient build up, in fact some may find it devastatingly annoying, but then, these are the people that would be missing out. Yet it's format is the least of things that make this series so undeniably fascinating. The plot and storyline drive this series, for in a ten hour plus epic, whereby there isn't an overly active presence on the screen, the narrative is paramount, and it certainly is. Building slowly over the first handful of episodes (disc 1 for those with the DVD set) we are introduced to our Saints, as slowly their plight is introduced to us. I think most people developed a natural affinity with Raimi, straight off the bat, yet as each characters story develops we ingratiate ourselves with them in ways that at first seemed implausible, and this is the brilliance of the series. It challenges us in ways we never thought possible. It tackles misconceptions, stereotypes and ignorant views, it liberates your mind in a manner of The Matrixs first installment to the nth degree, and I always enjoy and wait with anticipation to see what quotational gem appears at the beginning and end of each episode, really driving home its philosophical impact and connotations.There's so much to go into with this series, but be patient with it. Once it gets going it truly is impossible to stop selecting "next episode", you must put your judgemental attitude to one side not only when it comes to content, but to style as well. For those that do, it's just what you've been waiting for. I would wish to say "I hope you enjoy it", but that would be detrimental to a series which is impossible not to get sucked into. Watch with the Lights Out, Your Jaw Locked And Prepare To Know The Truth.
