Excepción

This animated series is set aboard a spacecraft far from Earth. It travelled to its destination unmanned for reasons that are explained then its crew are created on a biological 3D printer. They are each copies of other people and their job will be to terraform a planet that will ultimately provide a new home for humanity. A solar flare during the printing process causes something to go wrong; one of the crew comes out as a monstrous creature that could be a threat to the others. That won't be the last problem they face.

If you are looking for plenty of action and one story per episode you are likely to be disappointed but if you are looking for something more slow burn there is plenty to enjoy here. Inevitably there are some clichés but I still enjoyed the series. The character designs are very distinctive; at first I thought they were a bit too odd but they grew on me as the series progressed. The story provides some good tense moments well as twists that weren't too obvious. Overall I'd recommend this to sci-fi fans who also enjoy animated shows.

At first glance I almost didn't give this a chance. Then I started it. I was immediately turned off by the stiff ultra cheap imported animation that is generally and genuinely cold and boring. The difference in the art style and art deco themes made the animation easier to deal with but albeit slightly.

As I progressed I became surprised by the story. In general it has several plots and subplots running throughout and some of the ideas are very fresh and welcoming. The writing is good and the voice acting is generally pretty good and somewhat convincing for a production like this on Netflix.

It could have been awfulf but instead was very decent and kept my attention.

At first I saw the art style and thought it was a bit strange. I usually don't like non traditional anime but after the first episode I was completely sucked in. The characters and designs are charming and the story is so thoughtfully written. The animation is very well done and the expression that's brought out in their models is very eye catching. I binged the entire thing in one night which I don't usually do unless something takes all my attention. I won't spoiler much but I highly recommend it if you love sci-fi horror themes as much as me. If you're looking for something to pass the time you better go give this masterpiece a watch. :)

The premise is fascinating and the first part of the story had me hooked. At some point, though, it seemed like things just went in a whole different direction that wasn't interesting to me anymore. The story became predictable and tedious, and it kind of felt like previous themes were dropped for new ones. (They do really hit you over the head several times with, "What makes one human?" in the first few episodes.)

I don't really get the character design of assigning each person a head-to-toe color, but it didn't take away from the story or anything. I thought the voice acting was decent. The art style is unique. And as I said before, the beginning had me hooked.

Overall, I'd say if it sounds interesting to you, give it a go. It's only 8 episodes.

I was absolutely enthralled by Exception from the very first to the very last minute. A truly original high-concept science fiction anime with stunning worldbuilding, creative and often intelligent writing, and a stylized and colorful CGI look that I grew to love immediately. Got some Aeon Flux and some Lexx vibes. One of the most interesting and unique shows in a very long time, and I'm happy Netflix got this thing made. The elegiac soundtrack was also very special and constantly created a dream-like atmosphere.

Only writing to reach the the stupid 600 character limit right now (dear team IMDB, please change that).
