What went wrong?

Not enough robots.

Yeah, wait I heard it’s actually good tho

It's an anthology, some shorts will always be better than others. Then there's the fact that adult animation often isn't mature.
Essentially, writers and animators are given a platform, Netflix, that doesn't have TV-tier content restriction for their shit. So what do they do with this newfound freedom? Sex, swearing, ultraviolence, etc. Not that these things are bad in moderation, but it's a bit of a waste of potential. Not to mention juvenile.

most of the cgi ones sucked

They shouldn't have dropped the detail that Sonnie was in a car crash, not gang raped by the rich or whatever. Most of the story was there, sure, but that detail really cements her backstory being faked so people don't suspect what's actually going on.

Too many robots

Not enough robots.

honestly? the autoplay changing the order based on view history, i got the shitty murder witness one, then sonnie, after the first ep i saw i assumed it was shitty SJW bullshit, so i stopped watching before the beastfight
had it started with episode 2 or 4, i would have loved it forever.
Not starting with episode 2 is where it went wrong.

Needed more farmers and less angry stronk womynz.

It did "adult" stuff for the sake of doing something adult instead of for the sake of the stories.

Liked this episode even though it was meh the art style reminded me on the mega man X or Zero games

pretentious

>What went wrong?
not much, really. some episodes were boring/shite (the one with the werewolves, especially), it was a bit annoying how many of the episodes were just "MUH HYPERREALISTIC 3D VISUALS" instead of going for a more unique style (although that didn't stop them from being actually good), and at a few points/shorts it felt like the authors were just pushing sex/nudity just for the sake of being 'adult animation'.
Curious to see if they'll do anything like this again or if a series will spawn out of some of the episodes.

>So what do they do with this newfound freedom? Sex, swearing, ultraviolence, etc. Not that these things are bad in moderation, but it's a bit of a waste of potential. Not to mention juvenile.
Eh, in some it really felt they were just pushing it for the sake of it, but thankfully none of the shorts went all the way into seth rogen "lmao weed and dick jokes" tier bullshit.

It was deliberately made to piss as many people off as possible, and succeeded with flying colors

>puting Secret War on last place
Fuck him. Secret War was fucking kino.

you would expect that these studios would have used the anthology as free range for any crazy idea they had
too many of them felt like tech demos or cliched with no interesting twist
when 3 of them have cyclical endings you get the impression that they weren't trying hard enough to standout
compare to Heavy Metal and Robot Carnival. you know which ones are clearly better than others, but at no point it feels like any of the shorts in those were made with no creative intention

most forgot that an anthology is supposed to compose of short stories, not tech demos and pseudo video game cinematics

Three robots almost certainly should have been the starter but where they were selling it as “nsfw” that demanded a high school level gore tits and swearing as your front runner

You didn't post a link.

it's written by 12yr old boys

>What went wrong?

They felt the need to have penises and/or tits flying everywhere to prove how MATURE™ they were, and it just came off as jarring. No need to overcompensate that much, the gore and dark themes were enough.

Other than that I liked it. The humor ones fell completely flat for me, probably because I wasn't really looking for that; I can just turn on adult swim or netflix and get mountains of that kind of 'adult entertainment'. Overall I just wanted some animation aimed at me that wasn't using humor as a crutch for once, and that's exactly what I got.

After the cold diarrhea that was Sausage Party, it's very nice to see adult animation isn't dead.

Wait seriously? People were upset over that?

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

most of them couldn't get the 3 themes at once.

fuck it, I really enjoyed it. I also really liked the twist at the end

This

I was legitimately suprised when that was fox demon chick show vag.

Zima blue was pretentious, boring shit. Only brainlets thought it was good.

>Americans first indie animation

>>MU H GOD TIER OMG
right to life discarded.

Feminism, motion capture, cliche characterization, lolsorandumb humor, no coherent theme

I just reeked of ALL MEN ARE BAD AND EVIL mentality

They should have called it Love, Death + Cats

>>Muh simple life

Basic bitch.

More like Love, Death + Tits
not a complaint btw

It shouldn't skip the credits

An AI became so intelligent it realized the most logical course of action was to give up it's intelligence. Sorry you can't even approach a fraction of that intelligence needed to appreciate the commentary on the paradox of sapience.

Some of the episodes probably would've benefited more from having an hour long format like Beyond the Aquila Rift. 20 minutes is just way too short for the kind of buildup it was going for. Designs were fantastic but you only get a tiny bit of it at the end and that's it really.

Love death + robots is a beautiful modern masterpiece, so shut the fuck up incel

weird I just skipped that episode anyways. I mean the silver fox one was pretty fucking harsh. But the Spider In space one was a real mind fuck.

No it didn't

>"I'm a stronk lesbian and I hate the MEN like you that are ruining everything in the world!"
>"every male character is an evil asshole besides the soiboi skeleton

The writing. They could have adapted Asimov and other classics, but nope, they had to be edgy.

>we aren't programmed we just CHOSE to talk like NPC and repeat the same words forever, waiting for more corporate pacifier

>every male character is an evil asshole
Only the rich dude, and so was his girl, who was the one that did most of the dirty work.

yeah first ten minutes had it. I mean let's say the roles are switched.

"I am a strong heterosexual and I hate Women like you ruining everything in the world!"
now let me ask you, would you want to keep watching?

>wtf, you can't have characters that resent assholes, that hurts MY feelings! I identify with assholes!
But even then what about the part where Sonnie openly explains it's not about rape or revenge? Or what about the other evil woman?

Attached: Superman_Face.jpg (464x550, 152K)

Sonnie's Edge is really the only edgy one of the pack, maybe Soul Sucker too. Season 2 could stand to go weirder.

I figured out the twist of "The witness" about halfway through the episode, and thought it was a pretty cool idea. It blew my mind when the roles were reversed.

>would you want to keep watching?
If it makes sense for that character, sure, why not? But that's a retarded question because it's not what happened, not exactly

Are you guys the same retards that cried about Mad Max Fury Road because the women in it complain about groups of evil men?

she says that in the fucking episode. Not only that there was no character other than full on dyke rage mode. So how in the 20 fucking minutes in the that episode did we get a character arc of complete lesbian rage and then say... "well it makes sense for her character that I just saw for the first 10 minutes"
common now.

The thing is, the rich guy didn't know, and the trio snapped on him as though he did. And even than, I wouldn't be too mad if she wasnt the MAIN CHARACTER. There aren't any traits about any of the three that would tell the audience that they are good people, or are people that I should invest in.

>only the rich dude
I guess you could count the main character's opponent, but you can probably just label what he did as trashtalk to try and mess with her.

She calls herself a strong lesbian? You know what else happened in the episode? Her speech about how she's not out to exact revenge on rapists like everyone assumes

>the rich guy didn't know
And that makes him less of a murderous villain?

>She calls herself a strong lesbian?
oh for christ sakes, no, it just went off of with "fucking MEN, you have no idea blah blah" watch it again.

>And that makes him less of a murderous villain?
at that point in time in the show we didnt know, maybe he should have lost his temper on the trio and cried how hard it is about being a murderer and make them feel bad.

Oh im sorry, that must've been traumatic for you. The episode should've started with a trigger warning

No, but it doesn't make him a sexist one. He just assumed she wanted what all of the other male fighters wanted (money), so if anything, he was treating her like every other fighter.

>we didnt know
The scene was about him asking them to lose the fight, he was shown to be corrupt since the start. Are you guys seriously advocating for fictional gangsters?

alright, I may be disagreeing with you on some of the stuff your'e saying, but that was pretty funny, ngl.

it must be hard for you to deal with the truth too

As opposed to a trio of people that have no actual positive traits? In my opinion, it's just one big edge fest that shouldn't be getting as much attention as you guys are giving it.

read the rest of it

hun, you shouldnt agree with yourself like that, it's just not healthy.

>it's just one big edge fest that shouldn't be getting as much attention as you guys are giving it.
Oh i agree, believe me

Glad we can agree on something. Lets move on to something else, like how absolutely amazing the twist of "the witness" was.

>You can't agree with only CERTAIN things a person says.
ok

Damn....this really says a lot about the society in which we live in.

is that what the other voice in your head is telling you?

Werevolves in Afghanistan

you admitted defeat i the argument several time already no need to dip dipper.

I'm 99% sure that the people who wrote for that episode were all furries, but it would make sense if the US government put werewolves in the military if they existed. And it does highlight the isolation that they'd get from other soldiers who are afraid of them. But still, it's furry shit.

I was more impressed by the visuals themselves. While watching i thought some real life footage might've been involved, but nope, shit's crazy

Dude, shut it. There's no need for us to irrationally be at each other's throats

NO! We were so close, why did you take the bait?

ah what else do the voices say?

Yeah, in terms of art style, it's A1, with the vampire one coming in at a close second.

Yea Forums user. rationality has no fucking place here.

>talking about Yea Forums like it's another place
>on Yea Forums
How spineless can you get?

what the fuck are you talking about, it was a statement, where the fuck do you think you are?

But the other lesbian was evil and got fucking kill

I was making a joke.

>18 shorts?!
How long are these shorts? They really can't be much longer than 5 minutes each.

Most of them are a little more than 10 minutes, with the shortest, and in my opinion the funniest, one being around 6.

>t.brainlet

>>durr being smart is hard ignorance is bliss lmao

Some psych 100 bullshit there Plato.

that kind of plot could work in a longer format but the way they did was just a boring-ass tech demo for soldiers and werewolf dicks.

Lucky 13 was the fuckin' best ya winglets. Just thinking about it makes me want to boot up Ace Combat

I guess, but I'm worried it'll turn into like a dbz type show, with no real end and a terrible power crawl.
