You NEED to watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix (especially if you like Moebius!)
You NEED to watch Scavengers Reign on Netflix (especially if you like Moebius!)
This is the best sci-fi I have seen for years, and I do not mean animated sci-fi but sci-fi in general! The beautiful artistic style of the show is heavily inspired by the art of Moebius, Hayao Miyazaki, Philippe Druillet and Alexandro Jodorowsky and also references such beloved classics as AKIRA, ALIEN and many more. Please watch it on Netflix if you can, it will increase the chance of a second season of this masterpiece getting produced. The ones of you who have already watched it, what do you think?
Could someone explain what deal was with the psychic monkey frog and the red head towards the end? ::: starting from when the 2 merged. ::: After that I felt like I missed a chapter.
There a lot of discussions about the relationship/symbiosis of Hollow and Kamen, over on r/ScavengersReign. Basically, Hollow is a telepathic symbiote who connects with Kamen instead of the little toad like symbiotes his species co-evolved with. What happens then is subject of many discussions and interpreations.
I felt Hollow motivations were unclear and took away from the show when he was actively attacking humans and hardware. Like destroying the empty ship seemed like a odd choice. Once he got to the freight ship It made more sense again. Loved the rest of the show just that small bit just couldn't get over.
The story fell a bit flat for me around the middle of the season.
But I certainly appreciate the thought and effort put into the ecology. That was amazing.
Just finished last night, ohh boy what a trip this show was. I liked how the show started with the survivors already used to their environment, like they had been there for months. Really got imaginative with the different ways the characters interacted with the plant and animal life, like the scene where Ursula is staring at the flower. Some parts reminded me a lot of a Rick and Morty bit where Rick just invents something using the resources at his disposal.
Highly reccomend this show, would love to see another season, which is why I have also been suggesting this show to anyone and everyone.
Awesome post.
Just to add on-- the art director here is "harriorrihar," i.e. Jon Juarez, previously introduced here once or twice.I gave up after the first 4 episodes. It was pretty but very poorly thought out. Also I found all the characters boring.
It did inspire me to reread Nikapol.
I only made it 2 episodes in where I felt like most of the show was just stoner fan service. I felt like from what I saw it was mainly to show how trippy, vague and strange the world was. It just didn't hook me.
YES!! It’s gorgeous, I loved how character focused the story was. The horror didn’t reveal itself at first but it is definitely there and it’s excellent.
It was originally an HBO show, but since nobody uses whatever they named their service to this month it got moved over to Netflix
Yep, that is why it depends on Netflix now if there will be a second season. So let's spread the news and bring those views up!
Loved it. Finished the season and immediately told everyone I know to watch it.
Great to hear!
Oh man thank you, I was unaware
You are welcome! Now please tell all your friends about it and emphasize they should watch it on Netflix to make that second season happen!
Was waiting for a Akira-slide on that bike the entire time, never happened. Disappointed.
Putting the slide in as a reference would have been kind of cheap at this point imo. As an AKIRA enjoyer, I found the AKIRA references in SR very satisfying. I just made some direct comparisons from memory for another thread earlier today:

Good golly, no! oO
Indeed, as I occasionally say: "shut my mouth and spank my bottom!"
LOL, whoops.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm only one episode in and this is great.
Happy to hear you are enjoying it! If we want a second season, as many people as possible have to watch it on Netflix. Spread the word!
