Afterlives: The New Animated Shorts for Shadowlands

While we first saw this style of series with the Mists of Pandaria shorts detailing the journey of Emperor Shaohao, the format of focusing on a select number of characters really started with Warlords of Draenor. We then got Legion's Harbingers and BFA's Warbringers - all of which have been pretty spectacular. So here we go: Afterlives:

I assume we're seeing Uther as the main Bastion story and Draka as the Maldraxxus one. I'm really fascinated by Uther's lore here - the thought that this pillar of righteousness is struggling to come to grips with the reality of the afterlife (though I'm also a little curious to see how they explain his seemingly benevolent appearances as a ghost in our world.)

Anyway, these shorts tend to be big wins - BFA gave us the utterly jaw-dropping Daughter of the Sea dirge, and the amazing Azshara deal with N'zoth. So I have high expectations here.
