Honestly, Sigma Origins was by far the most interesting.

Some of these origin stories are really good though. I mean, HAVE YOU SEEN SIGMA'S??? It's literally the best one (imo), a literal masterpiece, I can't even imagine how glorious a Sigma animated short would be.
Anyway, I think it's worth watching both shorts and origin stories; while they say a lot of the same stuff, they contain different pieces of information that fills out more of the Overwatch lore and world-building, such as Dr. Liao (Echo's creator) being one of the people who helped create the omnics.

Those characters at the end are the Yōkai, a group of teenagers fighting the Hashimoto clan (which took over Hanamura/Kanezaka after the Shimada clan fell). Kiriko is part of this group and the other characters are kinda like D.Va's MEKA squad, where the characters are either just side characters, or potential future heroes that might be added to Overwatch.
Also, as a side-note: if you're going to react to the Overwatch animated shorts, I personally would appreciate it if (not to be rude) you talked less and paid more attention to the story being told. I understand you want to talk about how much you love or hate the character, but I assume that distracts you guys from fully getting what's being said or shown (which the subtitles help with). I think it'd be better if you talked about you're seeing as opposed to something completely unrelated.

Now if yall could watch the actual Overwatch animations, that'd be great, lol. I honestly skipped the Origin videos cause the animated shorts said all the same stuff, but had emotional content and artistic design.
The Origins are basically the cheap shorthand for the Shorts. The Shorts are like the LoL videos, creative and different.
