    Eh, I’ve never actually sat and watched love, death and robots. But my understanding of it is it’s a non serialized episodic program often revolving around a different sci-fi or fantasy storyline from episode to episode. Spiritually it’s very in line with metal hurlant, or heavy metal in the US. But yeah unless there’s heavy involvement from either of those magazines or anyone significant from the other productions. Calling it any sort of prequel or sequel is wildly disingenuous for sure.

      Short films. That’s all it is. By different people with different stories all sort of loosely themed on sci-fi and a dash of other stuff.

      I mean, I love it, it’s delightfully random, but it isn’t cohesive enough to be a sequel to anything.

        To be fair, that’s basically what the original heavy metal film was. Though it did have the lochnar as a thin linking device between each of the separate stories. But yes, it’s definitely deceptive advertising on their part for sure.
