After finishing a reasonably-numbered plethora of Netflix originals, I was left with the (suggested for you) panel to determine my next mass media conquest and there it was – the same show I formerly regarded the trailer of its first episode as, not sufficiently intriguing, yet, honestly, my preliminary judgement couldn’t have been more wrong.

my complete oblivion-to-what-the-hell-anthology-meant aside, that animated collection of short films admittedly left me in a subliminal state of ample appreciation and much missed contemplation of the unknown. LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS effortlessly sets itself apart by the variety of its well .. everything. every single episode has a unique animation style from simplistic 2D to photo-real CGI, a different art studio for each and, oddly enough, a different director. unsolicited perennial nudity comes second; second only to cats, women’s ventral surfaces extending from the neck to the abdomen or as I prefer to call them: bosoms, was an explicitly recurring theme throughout the 3-4 hours show. be it a group of mercenaries hunting vampires in the womb of some cave, a space homecoming odyssey gone wrong, or an unearthly advanced alternative history software. animated tiddies was always the answer. also, gratuitous (completely needless) depictions of male ding-dongs. Also, puns, nicely thought ones.



it’s only after the fifth episode or so that you have the inevitable epiphany of what this [love] part is all about.

LOVE, DEATH & ROBOTS, introduced to Netflix as the outright product of the genius of both Tim Miller (welp, the guy who made deadpool the masterpiece it is) and David Fincher (director of Seven, Fight club,) is a one candid bid to revolutionize the way animated shows is widely viewed by variantly-aged audience. I mean an extremely NFSW show of completely unrelated plots ranging in theme from Supernatural horror to sci-fi horny romance is clearly a vigorous message that cartoon ain’t solely for you anymore, kiddos.

the fact that every single episode is a self-sustaining entity, and well to keep this thing spoilers-free, demolishes any possibility of tackling any of my favourite episodes in a more analytical and r/iamverysmart-ish manner. so, taking the rough with the smooth, I’ll just now grant you a list of my personal must-watch episodes, on the vain hope that I’ll make each a single article deciphering the genuine brilliance of this show.



Zima blue: a renowned, universally triumphant artist craves satisfaction in his last piece of art; he recalls the highlights of his past with an inquisitive journalist.





Beyond the Aquila rift: a spaceship crew that wakes to the realization they’re light-years away off their home and an unexpected meet-up with an old acquaintance.



Three robots: a satirical demonstration of a day in the life of three self-aware robots in a post-human era; also, Cats!



Rejoice, fellow sapiens
