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?
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!
Awesome post.
Just to add on-- the art director here is “harriorrihar,” i.e. Jon Juarez, previously introduced here once or twice.
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.
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.

Kamen’s personality had influenced Hollow significantly at that point and that explains his behavior pretty well imo.

I also had several moments when things did not seem to make sense, guess I will notice more details when I watch it again.
