Scavengers Reign

I find my self at a loss for words, yet I will do my best to try to convince you to watch what could very well be the next groundbreaking Sci-Fi Epic. It has been a while since I'v been this impressed wih anything(animated or otherwise). Let's be honest creative media is a dying bread in modern entertainment. But I ran into the trailer and it looked promising enough. But what I witnessed was something like getting high in church and watching a man outside splitting the river in half with a wand(not religous, nor have I been high, just painting a picture). Breathtaking visuals, accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack makes this a must watch for any sci-fan fan. The voice cast is also excellent. This might be the silver-lining of this year.

This show is truly fascinating.

The world and ecosystem that they have created is beautiful, bewildering, scary, gross, ingenious, and most importantly the ideas are fresh.

The animation is top notch at times, but occasionally it seems like scenes were budgeted. (It's hard to tell these days, what some consider "style", others would consider "poor quality" or "lacking detail"). Overall though, the animation serves its purpose very well, and the world and creature design is some of the most creative I've ever seen.

Definitely a show worth checking out for any fans of the sci-fi genre. Truly a thought provoking, mesmerizing, unique piece of media.

Sometimes you may not know what to say. Expressing the experience you've had and the emotions it has stirred within you can be very difficult with words. If this experience is something metaphysical or profound, then there's nothing to be done, really. You simply surrender yourself to that experience (like being a pilgrim in Mecca or seeing Jesus in a dream). However, if this experience is created by human hands, that's when we call it art. And Scavenger Reign is a true work of art that has risen like a spring from the midst of the increasingly monotonous visual arts in recent years.

How do I describe it, where do I even begin? My journey with Scavengers began with watching Bennett and Huettner's mind-bending short film. Ever since the news came out that this incredible work would be turned into a series, I had been eagerly awaiting it. Finally, the wait is over, and we managed to watch the first episodes of the series. Oh my God, from the very first second, it promises to fulfill your expectations completely. Every second, every scene is a visual feast that makes you wonder if you'll miss anything and draws you into a different reality. The animation quality, the progression of the story, the music, sound effects... everything is wonderful. My only wish is for it to continue without losing its brilliance.

Movies, documentaries, animations, anime, comics, and other media about life on other planets are not an unfamiliar subject in science fiction. However, the way this subject matter is handled is as impressive as Tarkovsky's "Solaris." Firstly, the planet where the events take place has a mysterious yet entirely convincing ecosystem. The scientists who have to live there become a part of this ecosystem as they unravel its mysteries. This ecosystem is presented with a consistent design, reminiscent of Art Nouveau, with coherence in everything, from the planet's life forms to its plant life, geography, and climate. The colors, textures, sounds... this planet feels real enough to be possible.

The second important point is that in order to create such a world so successfully, you need to have a well-founded philosophical knowledge and perspective on existence and life, unless you're a deity. If it were not so, the creators of the series could easily have succumbed to popular exaggerations and inconsistent drawing games. But they don't. It's well thought out and minimalist all the way through. You can understand that nothing takes precedence over anything else. And it instills in you the belief that this ecosystem has existed on that planet for millions of years, just like on Earth. All that's left is to lean back and dream of being a part of that team while watching the series.

Actually, there are many more things I want to write, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this work of art makes me feel things far beyond what I can write. That's why I want to stop here. And I want to thank the people who brought this project to life and shared it with us. Enjoy watching.

The creativity is astounding, delivered in a way with just the right edits, cadence, and flow. Superb soundtrack, voice acting, writing. Everything is dialed in. It draws you right into the adventure.

There are some scenes that I am completely blown away by. The animation is absolutely superb. Another reviewer mentioned Fantastic Planet, and it does create that other worldly vibe, but in its own unique way.

This is the kind of story that sucks you in, and you can't help but want to know what happens next.

Where have the people who made this been hiding! Seriously! I am 100% amazed by this and I need this team to make more!

I love it!

I have seen the first 3 episodes. ( my first review ever)

The series creators understands "Show, don't tell", it doesn't hold your hand, and i love it for it, this show is not for everybody, but if you have a love for science fiction and miss the imagination of old school sci fi this is for you.

I have been looking for this for years, i thought this kind of space sci fi was dead... it has this old schools science fiction feel to it, the alien planet feels extraterrestrial, new and fresh. Not just the humanoids on a other planet, that so many other shows in this genre do.

You are joining the protagonists on their journey of survival, exploration and hardship, you learn about the people and planet as the story unfolds mostly visually, giving multiple viewings meaning. After watching 3 episodes i have so many questions, and that is a good thing.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the show. Fleshing out characters and the world they now inhabit.

Art style is is beautiful and and super creative. You can tell there is put a lot of thought into the world, flora and fauna.

The first episodes have scratch my science fiction itch for now. There are a total of 12 episodes.

I gave it 10\10, not because it is perfect, nothing is, but because of what its traying to do, no other show is even close that i know of the last years.

My only hope is that the show does well and we get more ;)
