    Love Death + Robots (Fincher / Miller)



    Quote Quoting Netflix PR
    This spring, 18 animated short stories presented by Tim Miller (Deadpool, upcoming untitled Terminator sequel) and David Fincher (MINDHUNTER, Gone Girl, House of Cards) land on Netflix in it’s first ever animated adult anthology series. Love Death and Robots premieres March 15th only on Netflix.

    The full roster of stories will cover a variety of adult topics including racism, government, war, free will, and human nature. The anthology collection spans the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres and each short has a unique animation style: from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI. The creators were assembled for a global calling for best in class animators from all over the world including artists from France, Korea, Hungary, Canada and the US among others. The series draws inspiration from the eclectic and provocative comic book material from the 1970's that influenced both Miller’s and Fincher’s formative interests in storytelling.
    March 15.

    Looks heavily inspired by "Heavy Metal" and "Liquid Television."

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I hope this leads to the two of them finally getting to make their adaptation of The Goon.

    11 episodes in. I cannot stop watching this. Every one is fantastic. More of this, less of everything else.

    I binged the other day and was tempted to pause and post here and yell for you to get on it because I suspected it would make your head explode.

    And yeah, agree --- more of this, less of everything else. About half the episodes are extraordinary and among the best sci-fi shorts I've seen in the last ~5 years.

    There were only 2-3 I'd say were not extraordinary. Agreed, some of the best sci-fi seen in years. I was shocked how near photorealistic some shots were.

    Which one was your favorite?

    Agree on the photorealism. The level of effects was staggering at times.

    I also liked how every short had a slightly different approach to the animation, so even if the stories were sometimes repetitive the visuals never were.
