It reminds me of Heavy Metal. I'm up to Helping Hand.
Most of them have been interesting, none of them yet have finished strong.
The one that caught my interest the most was Good Hunting but I hated the ending. It's like they are too short to tell the story right or they're too emotionless to care about the characters aside from the farm one.

Sonnies Edge...i dug it. biomechanical monster fighting with a twist.
Three Robots...pretty funny...didn't really care for the cat reveal.
The Witness...creepy and weird.
Suits...Prob my favorite so far. Simple yet effective premise.
Sucker of Souls...Decent...Soldier 76 voice actor distracted me because i realized it was him.

When the Yogurt took Over...meh...i was optimistic when i heard the voice of the Brain...but the story was meh....animation was cool.
Beyond the Aquila Rift...one of my faves so far...Found the real situation the crew were in properly terrifying and somehow empathetic.
Good Hunting...another very good one. just generally liked the arc of going from ancient magic to technologically advanced while still harboring a lot of the same emotions and feelings.

The different animation styles is a high point of this series for me. Being short separated stories, there’s only so much you’ll get involved but seeing the variety in animation styles is really cool to someone who can appreciate it. Fish Night looked amazing to me. I started nodding off toward the end there because I was tired but I’ll get around to commenting on the rest of the episodes at some point. |

The Dump...kinda meh. Didn't really like the trash monster. Shape Shifters...I liked parts of it. Thought the whole prejudice angle was heavy handed tho. But i liked the werewolf fight. Helping Hand...didn't really understand why she couldn't just make the gesture like the was throwing stuff without actually throwing stuff. Maybe i don't understand physics but i just couldnt get past that part. Fish Night...gorgeous to look at. Decent and simple story. Lucky 13...for whatever reason reminded me of Battlestar Galactica. Liked it a lot. Zima Blue...the reveal made it for me. At first i didn't care for it but once you get the whole picture i dug it. Also this combined with Aquila Rift makes me want to read Alastair Reynolds short stories. Blindspot...very fun. Id watch more of this group. Ice Age...didn't care for it. Was very hopeful once i saw mary elizabeth winstead but the premise just plays out like watching someone play sim city on fast forward. Alternate Histories...funny. Liked how it escalated with each scenario. Would love to see a Lincoln shoots first scenario.  Secret War...fantastic. Would love to play this as a video game. The russian music carpet bombing at the end was perfect. Overall i welcome more of this series...if theyll do more. A lot of the shorts are based on stories too so that will hopefully expand my reading some. |

Did you see all the detail in the trees and hills in the distance? |

I spent a lot of time focused on the creatures. |

I finished watching it a few days ago.
I think nearly all the stories were interesting, but nearly all of them felt either half-baked or rushed to avoid them feeling half baked.
They're so short, I'm sure I'll watch the next batch. The show is apparently pretty popular.

That's the thing. A lot of these should not have been 10-15 minute stories. For most of them, there was enough meat on the bones for at least a 30 minute episode. Heck a couple of them could have been stretched out to movies imo.

I thought "The Witness" was one of the best. It was sexy and realistic. So you think naked women running away from threatening men is "sexy". I guess we all learned a little bit about you there, didn't we?

I guess we all learned a little bit about you there, didn't we? No I never said that. I thought the animated naked woman was sexy and realistic. I thought although she seemed a little immature and silly, she also was attractive and appealing. By the way, if you watch the credits, that is a real actress with a long resume of work. Although the real actress is a red head and white, she looks a lot like the lady portrayed in the short story. I wonder how they do that animation. |

Heck a couple of them could have been stretched out to movies imo. I think that is a compliment to any producer of any short story --- "YOU WANTED MORE !!!" we have different viewpoints. I definitely meant as a negative that a story is incomplete which is way different than not wanting a story to end because it’s good. I’m not saying theses stories are good. Quite the opposite, they are quite bad considering they do have a beginning middle and end. It’s the premise that could be stretched out. That said some outlines are better than others. I thought The Witness looked fantastic but the story was stupid. There was nothing to it. You can do a time loop on anything. It would be the exact same thing if it was about going to the grocery store. The most complete one was the yogurt one as a short. My favorite one would have been Good Hunting if not for the rushes ending. I’ll have to seek out the story it’s based on. |
