holy magoly ... taut, quirky, scary, violent, peaceful, silly, biting, human, non-human, laugh-out-loud, hide-behind-your-hands-and-peek-through-your-fingers ...

and that was only the first two episodes of Netflix's new anthology series "Love, Death + Robots".

The emphasis on Anthology is much needed. While there may be a common theme somewhere (besides love, death and robots) the first two episodes, while both really good, were also really different. This makes it a potential candidate for "well if you don't like "X" just wait for "Y", which is a good thing.

The second episode had me laughing on the sofa. The first episode had me sitting on its edge.

Just started watching. My initial impression is that 'visually' the 'animation' vs 'live action' is =very= blurred. Much of it =looks= 'real'.

leh-cha know what I think of the 'story' in a bit <g>

I think, story-wise, Sonnie's Edge, Three Robots and Blue Zima were the strongest. as i said, if you don't like one, there's probably another you will!

Interesting ... I just read "Sonnie's Edge" by Peter Hamilton. Personally, I think the animated version takes everything in the story and ratchets it up to eleven the story is streamlined, but just as brutal.

The animation only makes the story stronger.

My impression is that ... anyone that could watch the series and =NOT= find one or two stories they liked is already dead <g> For me, while there were certainly stories I liked better than others, I am glad I got to see them all <vbg>

Gotta love NetFlix. They are creating some wonderful things!!

They just announced Love, Death and Robots ... volume 2!

wowzers!

(thanks kel!)
