I want to watch this, is it good enough for kino? Im going to finish the chink zombie apocalypse tonight to ima start this show after, i mean if Yea Forums tells me its kino

Agreed.

It def has some good moments. Fish Night is the most aesthetic imo.

I loved it. I didn't like the military ones so much. The entire series gave me animatrix vibes. I need more stuff like this. The vampire one was funny would love to see a series about that crew. Lots of tits and dick, just great.

Yeah, when I was watching this I was thinking about the Animatrix too.I just didn't care for how ham fisted some of the social commentary was.

Fish Night has no sense at all.
Still cute.

fish night is nostalgia about the past with the horrible realization that shit was pretty fuckin brutal back then

like the way people think blockbuster was great but don't remember how expensive it was or that they could lower your credit score for a late movie

Alternate Histories was the worst, it was low effort.

I've been over the hitler meme since I first got on the internet.

I completely forgot Blindspot even existed as soon as I finished watching it and only remembered when I was checking the IMDB scores for each episode

Also speaking of, here's those rankings

Aquila Rift and helping hand fucked my shit up.

It's better than that, seriously zombies that sleep during day? Anyway, the first episode will test you, but luckily Netflix gets all it's shitty politics out of the way in the first one. The final Ruskie episode was my favourite.

Everything wrong with helping hand off the top of my head
>1 person for a dangerous space job
>No tether for the space walk
>Segmented space suit
>The body doesn't freeze like that in space, that's a myth
>For some reason the protagonist tells the rescue team to just turn back once shes back inside even though shes probably bleeding to death now that she has 1 arm, and they must only be 20 minutes away

Yeah she was a brainlet, but the situation was interesting. You would think space suits would have emergency mass that you can throw in case of emergency when everything else fails.

The fact that IMDB does rank Alternate Histories as the lowest is proof that the IMDB user base is shit

pretty shit taste rite there

What? None of you liked Suits? Probably not the most complex story, but still fun to watch.

Need more categories. All anthologies or hit or miss, but even if it is a miss it still offers a taste of something fun to watch.

Anthologies are experimental. Each episode deserves respect just for being a stand alone

Each episode had its own feel. Suits had the old farmers teamwork theme going. Not saying it was the best, but again it offered something different.

Nani the fuck

Aquila Rift was the most fucked up one.

Sonnie’s Edge was so cringey. Edgy rape survivor YASSSS QUEEN SLAY fuckallmen shit. At least the tits were nice. The Aquila Rift one though. Some real space horror shit.

I loved it as well. Though I expected the Scarecrow to turn into a robot.

If you we're raped by 10 women, you would hate most women too.

That's what short stories are. Just a taste. A story not bound by over extending itself to fill a 2 hour movie format, or one hour TV episode format.
In short anthologies the story only uses its time to get to the point.

Most all genres (capeshit, literally everything) were all born out of short stories. It is the testing ground for new, or different ideas.

>The Aquila Rift one though. Some real space horror shit.

It's not really a horror.The alien honestly was trying to help him.It's just that the guy went insane everytime he became aware of its presence.
It's more evident in the novel though.

Hope this serves as a spring board for at least a third of the stories here.

I thought all the stories were original works?

It’s animation was great and I had fun.

No

It is space horror, the alien isn’t but the situation in itself is. Reminds me of that Jap game where the girl is actually a eldritch horror monster.

Nope, Zima Blue and Beyond Aquilla Rift are novels by Alastair Reynolds.

Zima Blue is better as a novel by around 40%
BAR by around 20%(the story explains that they are using ancient abandoned alien wormholes in the galaxy, and the alien is clearly shown as friendly in intentions)

Cool, thanks for the info.

Second in the novel all humans live absurdly long lifetimes(it is in very very far future) and rely and memory storage devices to remember who they were in the past.

Fuck off samefag. What is it with animation that attracts so many fucking trannies.

Good Hunting looked amazing, Hong Kong as a steam punk setting as an excellent choice.

If you take away the cats and all the cringey joke “”dialogue”” then it would be good. Also that woman was the only time in the show I really got “sjw” vibes

Kingdom he means

yeah it was tough, but therein lie its beauty

Liked the setting, but a bit too convoluted for such a short time. Could’ve skipped the opening fight. The Brits in top hats raping women had me laughing too. Almost expected them holding tea and biscuits as well.

Suits seemed a bit too simplistic for me and I could predict everything 2 minutes ahead.

If I had to choose between making Suits and Blindspot into full series, than Blindspot would win.

I don’t know what exactly it is, but yeah this one character was the only one in all of the series that really pissed me off. I really can’t explain why

fucking thought so.

>live in a time when women couldn't work regular jobs or go to universities

KINO, I didn't even notice it when I first watched it.

Animation & style were top tier, plus I liked the idea of her inhabiting a monster, you could really make a whole series with a premise like that.

Tell me about that time with steam powered automatons and mechanical prostetics user

The first episode did test me, im a big fan of blur studio and loved the styling but felt kinda forced

Kingdom

Not the guy you're replying to but, the story still reflected the cultural atmosphere around the Industrial Revolution.

Good time to ask, you got any recommendation for other Blur Studio works?

Cool as fuck

Women work regular jobs. Even in the china of the day. Probably even moreso in that future china.

She was a whore, deal /w it.

>the fox was a whore anyway, how about learning a skill besides spreading her legs?

It was an allegory of China selling itself out to westerners during colonial period.
Also the thing with magic vanishing was about traditions and old order disappearing when West conquered China.
The boy and girl making use of technology to get her back to hunting in fox form was a symbol of using modernization to restore traditional Asian values using technological progress.

>She was a whore, deal /w it.
Yes she was selling herself out.
Also note the use of opium by the English governor(Opium Wars).
An her saying "I can be terrrible too".
The whole episode for me was the best one in the series, as it was very deep in symbolism and merges Chinese nationalism with transhumanism and futuristic manifesto.

Which is why I didn't get onboard with the revenge angle.

>didn't get the revenge angle
Did you not see the part where she was forcefully strapped to a table and had her limbs sawed off

? Even a prostitute would be mad if their whole body was cut up

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

For her own sake? Yeah. But for all of china? Meh.

.>For her own sake? Yeah. But for all of china? Meh.

It's a symbol, not literal revenge. Both the Boy and Girl represent Korea/Asian countries and China and their old versions dying off.

Also the last scene is allegory to modern China protecting other Asian countries from Western neocolonism.

Read somewhere on Reddit Netflix plans to make a bunch of anime series, hopefully once they see how popular this series gets they'll invest in western productions of this caliber.

Yep, might be my 2D bias and also the fact some people behind it worked on Lastman at some capacity (Dude pretty much looks like older Richard Aldana from the comics) but I liked that one, I think it was pretty underrated. There's not much depth to it, but most shorts are guilty of that. And from all the stories presented is one of the few I could see working past the limited run.

maybe you just don't like bulldykes

In a way, I suppose it works.

China and Asian countries are moving along their own pace with technology, in quite frightening ways.

Three robots was the best.

That was really dumb, were they just gonna leave her there after she said she's gonna die? The rescue crew should have been on their way there anyway.

She didnt say she was dying though
She just said that she made it back inside, so he asked if she still needed help. And for some reason she said no, despite 100% needing emergency medical care

except it wasn’t the environment, it was the cats

why didn’t the alien just show him his photos on simulated screen first

Choppy framerate gave me a headache. What the fuck were they thinking?

think you could keep it together when spiderfu reveals herself?
I mean she did take your virginity and does "care" for you. So what if she's a monster?

well it was an alien, not a monster.
I guess she could rebuild his ship in some way and help him get back to humanity.

Considering how far he travelled to get to her, whos to say theres any humanity to even return too

They drifted through wormholes not through normal space.It took couple of hundred of years, but humanity was pretty widespread.Plus he sould be super famous as somebody who made first contact.

so what happened to ship in Aquila rift? like how did it ended up there

if you miss your calculations by 1 inch and follow that trajectory for 10 lightyears you're off by a long distance.

Does it honestly get better? Especially the second episode was LOL THE CAKE IS A LIE stretched out to ten minutes, absolutely wretched shit that didn't once raise a smile. I had to apologise to the wife just for putting this shit on.
How hard is it to make something as good as the fucking Twilight Zone for heaven's sake?

pretty sure he means they use the same voice from the portal games for the triangle robot

The ending implies he's gone through this process many times before and goes crazy every time he learns the truth. In the short story it's based on he's married and the alien deliberately sleeps with him in order to help him accept the reality that he'll never see his wife again.

Suits were great. Simple but I just love redneck cyberpunk.

>beyond aquila rift not best

PLEB

fuck off, m8. ep. 2 is criminally underrated it was a fun romp with a great twist. Only issue it had was having to follow ep 1

What a horrifying design. Truly a 10/10 episode

I heard in the book they were using wormholes to travel, supposedly abandoned by an ancient alien race

felt like blizzard trying to sell you another shitty moba

Some of the CG is so good you could barely even tell it from live action at times. What was the budget for this?

The witness was decent at best I don't get why it's highly regarded by so many casuals

Is it also a horror world in the novel or more simply stated as "alien"?

>pretty sure he means they use the same voice from the portal games for the triangle robot
Not just that, more it has a similarly lame and grating "nerd" sense of humor.

I almost chuckled when GLadOS told the Xbot to stop being a fucking pussy.
Also clever that the Xbot was black but as an anti-cat person who has never succumbed to internet cat humor I found it pretty yikes

Pretty much what you see in the show. The story only spends a few sentences describing it.

redflagged and cringepilled

As a long time fan of Alastair Reynolds, it was a great surprise to see his work finally adapted, and so successfully too, judging by the discussion they both ferment: Zima Blue AND Beyond the Aquila Rift. Even though I already knew the endings and didn't experience them as a blank slate, I enjoyed them immensely. The shocking visual imagery they did with Aquila Rift was something that's way more intense that what you could write in a book, surprising me. Hope for more Reynolds adaptations in the future.

And there was more good stuff in this anthology as well. All of the taboo-breaking, casually hanging, nonsexual dick-and-balls kino. It seems that Netflix has really proven the concept of great mature animation.
Visually I really liked how The Witness looked, like a painting come to life: the clothing, the city, the indoor walls and everything. How was it done? Some new kind of rotoscoping or just good motion capture?

Attached: the Witness.jpg (1920x960, 202K)

>chink zombie apocalypse
is this good?

I swear some of the witness is just live action with a filter over the top. The animation is definitely rotorscoped.

pretty sure most of the back turned away from you scenes are greenscreen but they switch back to mocap for when they show the face

Zima Blue was better as a novel since it clearly pointed out the dilemma of when you stops being you if you copy memories.

Aquila Rift was ok, although the book description of the alien was more interesting than the video one.Also I think there was less ambiguity about the alien helping the guy.

>s it also a horror world in the novel or more simply stated as "alien"?
The novel makes it more Cthulhu-like as he always loses his mind when seeing the alien, but it also makes it quite clear that the alien is trying to help him.
Also there is more about the wormholes being created by aliens.Small possibility that the alien was some sort of bio-caretaker for lost alien ships in the network.

Just think. In that spidergfs society, she's probably the cutest, nicest, lovecraftian thing ever. But our human minds just can't percieve it as anything but ugliness.

Post the book description bro

I found it very weird. It was good I guess? Not even uncanny valley but the mixing of RL and CGI I dunno confused my brain or something.
Greta (the woman on Aquila Rift) was real most of the time right? I think in the sex scenes she shifted to CG sometimes. Very weird.
Enjoyed the whole thing overall, hope they get good returns on it and do more in the future. Non-generic weird shit is always good.

everything in the series was CG except the humans in Ice Age.

If you liked the Witness: albertomielgo.com/
Guy was art director for Spideyverse as well

in aquila rift i thought he was in hell for a second

They're short stories/novellas. Reading the whole thing doesn't take that much:
youtube.com/watch?v=DEs_SqsMlGU

It's been a while since I read them but I'll take what I can get. The only other Alastair Reynolds adaptation was a theater production of Diamond Dogs, which is in itself a good piece of sci-fi, though longer and loosely set in his larger universe. Could be a nice project for a longer animated adaptation. Or why not just a Revelation Space series? The Expanse is kicking, and the Culture is getting one.

Now that you mention it, it kinda was similar to Spideyverse at times, the backgrounds I mean.

What the fuck warranted that response? I also had to delete it, missed a few.

oh you're just being a contrarian faggot.

I liked it because they actually but boobs, dicks and pubic hair into it. Adult animation; actual adult animation not South Park/FG adult animation, is so underused. Sadly the media all said it was evil and sexist and torture porn and all that bollocks. Obviously for clickbait but it makes me fear they won't do another season. It proves how versatile animation can be and how many different styles you can do. For sure a lot were 'realistic' CGI and lots of them gave the impression of a video game cutscene (especially Secret War, despite it being the best one) and it's difficult to get 'eye emotion' with it. They need to do more stuff. I would take a full series of Sonnie's Edge, essentially adult Pokemon. Suits was cool. They were all good in their own way.

Man there were a lot of tits and dicks

What the fuck? How am I contrarian because I liked something you didn't like? I liked the premise and fight scenes of Sonnie's Edge and Suits. Latter was more stylish but could have used more frames. Literally other peole in this thread like those two but you picked on me? That's pretty fucking odd. See and have a go at him.

>literally quoting yourself
sad, bro. sad.

This is an incredible scene.

Why all the hate for the yogurt? I thought it was hilarious.

W-where did he stick his dick?

it was good but there's probably a lot of brainlets reading into it thinking it's another fug drumpf

What media said that? Everything I read praised this series for its mature take.

Almost all of these tried to do too much in too little time and were far worse off for it.

Barely Decent
Sonnie's Edge - I may have read this story by Peter F. Hamilton but forgot, because I apparently read the anthology in which its featured. Then again, maybe I just like it more like this, but even so, only barely decent. Though, what it mostly was remind me that I should read more Alistair Rennie. Sonnie's Edge graphics reminded of Final Fantasy and similar, which may actually have been the strongest thing going for it, even though that's more the idea of them now than the actual games themselves, at least for a long time now.

Mediocre
The Witness - Mostly for the art style, didn't really care for much else.

Three Robots - I read John Scalzi blog from time to time, but I don't really care for his works much. This was him being silly.

Suits - This is barely mediocre, considering the ending reveal. It could be been done better in a lot of ways.

Beyond the Aquila Rift - Rather generic, but functional. I don't expect much in terms of my enjoyment from Alistair Reynolds generally.

Lucky 13 - Seeing Samira Wiley, or really just someone I recognized instantly, was off-putting in comparison to the other episodes. Almost decent.

Blindspot - What is this? Red Ash? Mega Man? Might Number Nine? Something similar. I was confused, but was otherwise meh.

Secret War - I binged all 18 episodes in a row and by the time I got to this one, I just wanted it to be all over, so may have caused some problems with that. It wasn't anything particular in any way.

Bad
Sucker of Souls - This is the first one where I thought, it can't get worse than this. How wrong I was. It failed to capitalized on basically everything and went wrong in every way. It could have been decent.

Good Hunting - I generally like Ken Liu's works and those that he translates, but I had so many problems with this one. I hadn't read the original short story, so I don't know where the problem originates.

The Dump - I wonder if this inspired the character and area in Borderlands. It just was just bad though.

Shape-Shifters - I don't think it did well with its concept. It was rather ridiculous.

Ice Age - Greg Egan's Crystal Nights is a much better version, which is too bad, because I also like Michael Swanwick.

SHIT
When The Yogurt Took Over - This is John Scalzi just being dumb to prove a point.

Helping Hand - This is a joke made into a serious story that needn't have been done.

Fish Night - I couldn't suspend my disbelief at the absurd logic.

Zima Blue - Worst art style by far and already knew I didn't like it from reading the short story. Then again, I like very little from Alistair Reynolds in general. I disagree with everything about it.

Alternate Histories - This was awful and repetitive.

Have sex

Shitty UK website with an obvious sóy writer. He made some good points (that some felt like video game cut scenes and some drops in CGI quality and some of the episodes were very plain and not massively creative) but he ruined it all by going 'IT'S SEXIST'. Yes yes >UK but there we go.

>Sonnie's Edge
>7/10
the first episode is easily one the worst

>Alastair Reynolds
I didn't know he did those. I enjoyed both of those shorts. loved his Revelation Space and Poseidon's Children trilogies.

I read sonnies edge like 10 years ago, fucking loved watching that, was a complete suprise to me.

I want sonnie's beast to passionately fuck me

I really would've loved to hear more about that world
Was there reason other than empathy for them to keep them alive?
Their technology was so different, are they super advanced?

But honestly, some of the episodes looking like video game cut scenes such a bad thing? Or is it just a really great achievement that video games have cut scenes that look this good.

People just hate it because they get jimmy tussled by the angry rape victim female bit, but that's like getting upset over a soldier character that is written with PTSD. The chick herself even says she doesn't give a fuck about her rape but that is all anyone can see about her. She actually fights good because it's life or death for her.

For what purpose?

In a way, yeah, but I understood the point. He just didn't need to sell the shitty 'IT'S SEXIST'. Clickbait because they're the only site that has done it. Fed up with this shit. There was plenty of strong women in it.

Just as a side note, some creatures on earth other than humans hold incredible capacities for compassion/empathy (see dogs and cats), some creatures are just nicer than most.

Calling this series sexist is such a far reach, one thing I appreciate about it is that they really showed all people of all sexes and races in diverse roles throughout the stories.

Ur falling for a fucking social trap you dumb dense dipshit retard, you need to resist it

on a side note: I was fucking amazed by how realistic the CGI skin texture and the environment looked when the camera was moving/lots of movement in the scene. Looked just so fucking real sometimes

Yeah of course animals hold empathy, but it still would've been nice to hear more about said race, considering from outlook it looked like spider, which are not known for their empathy (Of course I know they're not comparable creatures and the outlook probably was made in order to create sense of horror and despair with contrast to being actually nice)
Not to mention their tech seems so primitive, when it could be super advanced in that world, so much I would've liked to know about

damn youre so opinionated

I think his issue was that Episode 1 has a rape victim who is nearly murdered. Episode 8 had a rape victim and torture victim and lots of abuse of women. Episode 3 did too. Etc etc. But his issue falls apart when THIS IS REAL LIFE. THIS SHIT HAPPENS. THE STORIES CAN EXIST. But he ignores the episodes like Lucky 13 with the skillfull loyal black pilot woman. Or the fact that bar the Chinese man in Episode 8, nearly every single man in the series was bad one way or another. Either a murderer or a rapist or an idiot. I wish I could complain but I can't and again, shit is literally fucking clickbait.

user, peoples actions are sometimes different from their words. most of us learned this back in kindergarten.

I'd watch a 6-12 part series about the protagonist reliving this same experience and his mentality changing ever so slightly over each repeated "dream", eventually accepting the alien and living happily ever after in the dream.

If a person doesn't have an opinion, they didn't care.

It'd probably make a good story, but considering the setting it would be expensive to make, lots of cgi

> Or the fact that bar the Chinese man in Episode 8, nearly every single man in the series was bad one way or another

All of them were English though

In the novel the alien was the station, spider/bug was extension of the whole living pulsating organism IIRC.It is implied that the alien wormholes humans use relate to the alien.He might be the race of creators of the wormholes or some biodroid caretaker.

Aah, so its like a hive mind.
That's what the lazy humans get for using someone elses tech.

What? The Chinese man who ran the trains and helped the fox lady was good until he turned the girl into a fucking murder machine. The entire fucking thing was propaganda written by a Chink in USA who doesn't know shit about the country he's writing about (ie, Hong Kong). UK has a massive increase in Hong Kongers recently because they're fed up with China.

Zima Blue was KINO as fuck. This is what I expected from this project. Creative concept, cool visuals, philosophy and a start with a finish.

This is the only good Love Death Robots thread on TV right now.

>ywn come home to an alien spiderfu who truly loves you for who you are

Might as well just end it now lads

The issue I had with it was it felt... forced. Like, it was done 'shit we need something like this in it to set off the gore and tits'.

can anyone translate retard for me?

nope

>carrying about societal bs and normie impressions
The only thing worthwhile of the first ep is the visuals, have some self-love and tell people around you to go fuck themselves.

Why are you shitposting? Look at the rest of the shows, bar Fish Night there wasn't much in the way of deep episodes. More had gore or tits in. Nothing like Zima Blue. This meant it felt like it was a throw in episode of 'Shit we have to have this in here or it'll just be gore and tits, this will give us credibility'. While it was good, it just felt like it was out of place in the series, especially when it literally ends with a WW2 episode.

I disagree 2bh. It was rather a shame the project had some pointless actiony episodes like Shape-Shifters, Blind Spot and Suits. I felt like these were forced.

That's my point, most of them were actiony and Zima Blue felt out of place. It was very calming for me, the style was interesting and it was pretty deep. Fish Night was very interesting too and you can come up with loads of theories of what happened and what it represents.

oh that's what you were trying to say. nah, most of them have some deeper meaning. If anything the dracula, werewolf and soviet hellboy ripoff felt the most out of place.

Shape shifters was the best
Nothing is in-your-face about it, they just go in

Lots of them felt like 'rip-offs' but in terms of content and style, Zima Blue was really out there. I was quite serene. Fish Night as too until the end. I dunno, while I didn't mind the fight ones, especially Secret War, I just felt that two out of eighteen was not really enough. Perhaps they'll explore more in a potential Season 2. The show had issues but I enjoyed all of them. Just made me wish that companies would actually do proper shows with animation. It just seems to be a dead medium outside of kids cartoons and anime.

Surprised to see Sucker of Souls not really on anyone's list, what are people's problems with it exactly?

Falls flat with the bad dialogue, and cats were dumb

dialogue was shit and it ends right when it starts gettin good

Soo did the guy fuck that whole in reality or was it just inside his head? Does the novel expand on this?

If I get Good Hunting right it is an allegory of China and other Asian nations being in pointless conflict with each other and then setting aside their differences in face of Western colonialism,plus fully embracing technological progress to enact revenge on humiliation and mutiliation of their countries caused by Westerners.

Boy-Korea/Japan
Fox girl-China

Boy learns western technology,girl has to sell herself(China during colonial period), girl is mutilated by westerners(China undergoing capitalist transformation), boy helps girl transcend(Asian technology and economy now is better than westerners and they embrace transhumanism). Girl protects another girl from rape(China protecting smaller Asian nations from Western neo-colonialism)

wouldn't want to be in Bong's shoes once China takes what its due for messing with her in the pass so awfully(as the foxgirl says "I can be terrible too")

Why is vampires?

>Soo did the guy fuck that whole in reality or was it just inside his head? Does the novel expand on this?

All in his head

because of "LEL SO FUNNY THE CATS ARE FUCKING XDD"

I really liked the animation style of this episode

is this cyberpunk?

There are a few episodes that have a sort of cyberpunk aesthetic

What short stories should they adapt for season 2?
Here's some suggestions off the top of my head without going back to look at stuff that I think fit thematically:

The Gutter Sees the Light That Never Shines - Alistair Rennie

A Thousand Deaths Through Flesh and Stone - Brian Trent

ICU - Edward Lee

Meathouse Man - George R.R. Martin

The People of Sand and Slag - Paolo Bacigalupi
Pop Squad - Paolo Bacigalupi

The Indifference Engine - Project Itoh

I'm glad we got something like this, reminds me a lot of Memories, Neo-Tokyo and Robot Carnival.

Good Hunting is Cyberpunk (maybe Sonnie's Edge, Blind Spot, Zima blue too)

>Aah, so its like a hive mind.
It's a friendly hive mind thing though.
They have been done in SF before

>Meathouse Man - George R.R. Martin
Very good choice

I guess but it was specifically set in Hong Kong. A country that does not like China for what it did in the 90's and does not like them for what they do now. While I'm sure they have no personal love for UK, they would rather be with them than China because UK would at least offer them independence properly; something they should have got in the 90's but China were sneaky cunts and when called on it, threatened to genocide the entire island through a mixture of invasion and turning off water supply. Hong Kong should have been given independence properly or remained with UK.

She’s likley to accuse you of rape before her other female friend rips your balls off and their beta male tampon video records the whole thing

Witness has that future-y Hong Kong thing going on.
