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?

Interesting. It does look incredible. So no actual real life footage? All just animated? Amazing.

 

[BaseFishing]

Binged watched it yesterday. Absolutely loved it. I think I even prefer it to Black Mirror.

Apparently yeah, I find it hard to believe but I'll take their word for it.

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.

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?

It was actually set in an alternate history/universe Hong hong

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.

Its a very painstaking process indeed, key frame animation.

Wow. Incredible. Definitely the best looking episode so justifies all the hard work.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I found the latter half of episodes incredibly dull for the most part.

 

[Solius]

Finished it.

Some very good and some very average. Favourites were The Witness, Yoghurt, Akila Rift, Zima Blue and Secret War.

 

[Ramshock]

I loved it, you have to watch it if you havent yet.

 

[VeevaVee]

Finished this. Thought I had more left but it just ended.

My favourites were:

The Witness
Beyond the Aquila Rift
Good Hunting
Shape-shifters (animation on the werewolves was unreal)
Fish Night (could've been a lot better but liked the concept)
Lucky 13
Zima Blue

I found the latter half of episodes incredibly dull for the most part.

Yeah I wasn't sure about them either. Felt like Ice Age and Alternate Histories could've been good if they'd been smarter about it but it seemed like they just did it for the quirk and AH was silly to its own demise.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Zima Blue was my favourite, shame for an art style though.

Rest are okay, can be funny, can be pretty, but not really that much interesting. Maybe next time adapt some better source material? Aquila Rift should've been better, but then we wouldn't have animated tits.

 

[BD]

Some episodes were good, some not so much. The short running time helped me going back to watch the next ones. Not sure how much more of that Hitler episode I could've handled.

 

[afrocentricity]

Wow. Incredible. Definitely the best looking episode so justifies all the hard work.

Hmm RedCafe omits the comment... See top comment mate.

 

[Massive Spanner]

definitely the most realistic animated bush i've seen and that deserves a lot of credit.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Thanks. Those dudes are wizards. Would love to see them do a feature length movie. Probably an absurd amount of work though.

 

[GhastlyHun]

Watched 5 episodes. I liked the variety of styles, but the writing/stories were average at best (maybe with the exception of the witness, that was some David Lynch style trip).
I guess the raving ratings are mostly due to violence and boobs.

 

[Kaos]

I would have loved to see some of the episodes as full feature length movies, tv shows or video games. In particular Good Hunting, the werewolf soldiers and that farmer mecha one.

 

[2mufc0]

This is good.

Thought exactly the same actually. Staircase was exactly like my old one in Berlin.

 

[GhastlyHun]

I didn't get a Berlin vibe from the witness at all. Granted, I also have been there only a week. To me it was very much asian megacity.

Its actually based on Hong Kong. Its an alternative history Hong Kong, the writers mentioned it.

 

[Florida Man]

Loving all the episodes so far. About to get on #8 right now. I feel like posters’ ages are showing here as this show comes off as catering to the younger crowds. While I enjoy it, I can see how some wouldn’t like it so much. Definitely something to watch on acid too.

 

[Shane88]

Volume 2 trailer, May 14th release. Can't wait for these, loved the first volume...

 

[AaronRedDevil]

YEEEEESSSS. Fecking finally. The first season was brilliantly done. I've waited so long for it. 3 Robots should get it's own movie. Most underrated show on Netflix.

 

[Solius]

Ooh nice.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Woohoo, more CGI bewbs.

I remember there being a few great episodes and a lot of poor ones in the last series.

Even the poor ones were watchable though.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Even the poor ones were watchable though.

Yeah most of them were 10-20 minutes weren't they? And the animation was cool.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

They were all fairly short. Great binge watch. The good ones were excellent too.

 

[afrocentricity]

Agreed, great to watch stoned. Cant wait!

Did I see Michael B Jordan there?

 

[VeevaVee]

Excellent

 

[syrian_scholes]

I watched episode 1 high with my friend and I swear I saw it as Mewtwo fighting Kratos.

 

[thepolice123]

So far I have watched:

Sonnie's Edge
Zima Blue
Beyond the Aquila Rift (Best one so far)
Good Hunting
The Secret War

Excellent watch. Does the rest get any better?

 

[Minkaro]

The Santa one was my favourite of this season. I liked Snow in the Desert and Automated Customer Service too.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Is this somewhat like Black Mirror?

 

[One Night Only]

The Santa one was my favourite of this season. I liked Snow in the Desert and Automated Customer Service too.

Better than the first season? Can't wait to binge the 2nd tbh.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Quite disappointed. Nowhere near as good as the first Volume. It feels more like an art gallery of look at this beautiful animation other than the content of our product.

Only 2 I enjoyed were the ice whales and the giant. Although if I have children that’s the version of Santa they getting shown.

 

[Minkaro]

Better than the first season? Can't wait to binge the 2nd tbh.

Not for me. There’s less episodes, so less filler, but if I was going to rank them, I’d have a lot more season 1 episodes at and near the top.

Still good, but not as good, IMO.

How would compare it to Dark Mirror

 

[Solius]

The CGI on Pop Squad is so good at times.

 

[Solius]

Ok never mind Snow in the desert CGI is wild.
