man what a fucking show. it was incredible. i loved the art style, the story telling, the world its self was so fucking cool. i didn't see a TV show board on here so i figured i'd post here. anyone check it out? one of the best pieces of scifi i have ever seen. it's also genuinely terrifying, which for a cartoon, is impressive to me. i've never been scared by a cartoon before, but seeing these weird ass alien life forms that are completely unpredictable just gets me i guess

    It was awesome, really well voice acted, the premise was very interesting, AND it had a satisfying ending. Definitely a wild ride visually. Kinda felt like the creator tried watching Nausicaä on shrooms and this was the result lol. Loved the planet and its weirdness too, you just never knew what was going on.

      the end was amazing. the creators said they have a story for season 2 but since HBO cancelled it, season 2 depends on how many netflix streams it gets. i hope they can make it. i gotta see more

        Didn't know that! I'd be stoked for another season, I binged the series over a weekend and have considered watching it again. I wanna know what Levi gets up to out there with all his their**...mini me's? Idk what to call them

          im curious too. i would also be curious to see how the planet looks now that its populated by a bunch of little levis

          when i watched the show i also thought of them as a he, but it turns out they’re voiced by a woman, and then i realized i had no context to think of levi as a he and if anything they must be a they, if not a she

            I didn't even realize I'd gendered Levi, using 'they' makes way more sense! I mean they're

            ...

            Basically a new robot-alien-hybrid species at the end, or an organic tech that is sentient, I guess.

            Levi's character was probably my favorite, I thought it was written beautifully.

    Yes! Reminded me so much of Wayne Barlowe's Expedition which is one of my favourite books on speculative zoology, although in comparison Scavenger's Reign has a stronger focus on environmentalism and is a bit more of a character piece than anything.

    There's a short made by the creators of Scavenger's Reign on youtube that's free that feels like a prototype of what the show eventually becomes, it's great and you should def check it out

    Edit: Also I think we mostly post about tv shows in the movie board lol

    I loved it.

    Spoiler tags because people who haven't watched it are in the thread.

    spoiler

    Ursula and Sam, the two people who were traveling together? I was always at the edge of my seat wondering how the survivor would make it alone when one of them seemed about to die.

    When she went back into the... Sharp rock pillar forest? I thought she was a goner.

    God and when the telepathic frog demon that learned violence from that asshole tore Levi apart- very sad I think I involuntary shouted "no!" I hated that fuckin frog. Sad and scary, but very beautiful. The relationship between Levi and Azi was nice, nice to see a robot becomes a person story where the human transitions from seeing the robot as a thing to seeing them as a person and not a threat.

    I'd love to see more of it but I don't know that it was picked up for another season.
