Five episodes in, and I'm loving it so far. It scratches an itch I didn't know I had.

I like it, uneven of course, but some interesting concepts, art design and animation is excellent, voice acting rather mediocre though. Some of the stories could easily be expanded, just finished the Aquila station one, that could be the basis of an excellent psychological/body shock horror movie in the fashion of Event Horizon. The 3 Robots was short hilarity, the one with the farmers fighting off bugs gave me extreme Firefly vibes, Sentient Yogurt was great.
Ice Age is the worst one.
I'm about five episodes in and like it so far. It's not particularly deep however it's an easy watch and lighthearted fun, reading this thread it looks like I'm the only one that didn't like three robots - just found the ending too silly.
Binged the whole thing yesterday and thought it was brilliant. I hope they do more.
My favourite episodes:
- Beyond the Aquila Rift
- Sonnie's Edge
- Suits
- The hidden war
- Good Hunting
- Zima Blue

This is incredible, can't believe what I'm watching here, is anybody else catching many gaming references?
Watched the first 2. Thought the first was crap, but the second gave me a couple of laughs. I'll have to keep watching as they are easy to just drop 10 mins into.
Nope. Apart from the killer bots and the mech warrior
In the first episode I thought they were referncing GOW.
The middle episodes are weak but I liked the Dog Soldiers one.
Probably the cuts in her face
Watched 4-5 episodes and it’s great. Some of the animation is next level.
I meant the guy with drawing on his body.
So am i the only one that found the stories largely boring?
This a great little timewaster and the format works really well with Sci-Fi where stuff is often just an interesting idea that doesn't need stretching out for 2 hours long. I'm just watching them randomly. The animation is top drawer too.
Watched the first three episodes and enjoyed it so far. Very different to what I normally watch but it's a good watch and a nice length to watch on a commute to work.
There are a few. Beyond the Aquila Rift the thing they go through to start there journey is almost an exact replica of the relays in Mass Effect. Throw in a bit of deadspace in to that episode as well.
It's not original.. it's adapted and modified version of many similar plots done in style
Rather the animation like this compared to fake cgi in most movies. It doesnt look cheap at all and if done right can be refreshing
Just be careful who’s looking over your shoulder!
I know.
Had to hide the screen this morning watching the third one ('The Witness'). She's naked for most of it.Reminds me of when a friend of mine was watching Wolf of Wall Street on his laptop on the train. The ticket inspector arrived at the precise moment someone was getting cocaine blown up their arse with a straw. Even after he’d hit pause it was still a pretty damning image.I know.
I was sitting beside a kid of 12 or 13 watching that film with his mother in the cinema, quite impressed with how he must have managed to dupe her into it but also a bit horrified for him.
Longest two hours of his life.This show is an instant classic. I already rewatched it. It looked even better on second watch. I doubt it will be one of those shows you binge at once, rave about for a few days online and forget. Im looking forward to season 2.
Just put this on. Already getting a weird urge that I'm about to have to start pressing buttons.
The Witness reminded me of Berlin, from the staircase that looked exactly like my apartment block's to the mad club.
The view of the cityscape with the crazy neons was great.

Watched 3 episodes so far. Seems interesting. Will give the rest a go later.
I thought the same. Definite East Berlin vibe to it. Be curious to know how that one was made. Felt as though maybe it was filmed footage, with animated effects added in postproduction?
Just saw the first episode and absolutely loved it. Weird, fun, Simple and incredible all wrapped in one. NSFW as well. Will continue to watch for sure.
It's ok. I enjoyed it but I don't get the hype.
Yeah was thinking that myself. The movements definitely looked more human.
I like how it seems as though there's more than one art style in some of the episodes. It was particularly obvious in this one, where some of the backdrops would look more cartoony and some of it looked almost real but very shiny and trippy.
I dunno much about animation but this episode was definitely the most interesting, aesthetically. The rest seemed to be standard manga or computer game cut scene style. Maybe with one exception being the episode with all the fish “ghosts” in the desert.
Completely agree with that.
The visuals are excellent. other than that, not a lot to enjoy.
Saw the first episode. It's a bit random. I don't see the hype.
Is this getting hype? I haven’t read any reviews. Seems to be going under the radar, if anything.
They created it using Maya, no rotoscoping or tracing apparently. It's kinda like stop motion... Sounds like a hell of a lot of work, but that's why it looks so good I guess?
