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.

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.
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.
Happy that you liked it! Now tell all your friends about it. We need to bring the views up so Netflix will greenlight season two!
It was a good show. I’m happy with it being a single season only.
The story was obviously not done at the end of season one and, as you said, it was a good show, so why would you not want to see the rest of the story?
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.
Awesome post.
Just to add on-- the art director here is “harriorrihar,” i.e. Jon Juarez, previously introduced here once or twice.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!
You’ve convinced me
Great! Now convince your friends to also watch it on Netflix so they will produce the second season!
I believe it’s already been cancelled unfortunately. Source: the movie database . org
all my search results online say it was canceled by max, and moved to netflix … is there anything that confirms if netflix has any plans or cancellations?
Not that I can find, my source says cancelled at max & doesn’t show anything about Netflix so must be out of date. That’s awesome as it really is a great show. I don’t seem to be able to edit my comment on mobile unfortunately.
Rumors are,. Netflix might produce season two, if season one gets enough views.
I’ll definitely recommend it as it’s great.
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.
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!
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.
