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. Quote ... are you scared ... Last edited by Wolf; Sat 16/03/19 17:16 UTC.

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.

They are creating some wonderful things!! MikeD
