Action! Betrayal! Love! Revenge! Blue Eye Samurai is the adventure that I cannot get enough of. Very few characters are good, a few more a evil, but most are morally gray. This show thoroughly reminds me of the best aspects of Game of Thrones. I am a little biased, I am a sucker for a samurai tale be it an anime, a story in the Star Wars Universe, or a video game, plus I love animation. However, my biases aside, this is a well written story, with great action and even greater characters. I know that older audiences can discount animated stories, but if you are someone that enjoyed Game of Thrones (the good parts of it) go in with an open mind and give this show a chance, I for one, an internet stranger, believe you might like it.

Scavengers Reign is a beautifully animated sci fi nightmare. It lulls you into a false sense of security with bright colors and simple designs, but it quickly plunges you into imaginative horror that you want to look away from. Never have I been more intrigued and frightened at the possibility of living on an alien planet. Episode 1 introduces you to the human characters as well as the flora and fauna of an alien planet, which is its own character. The first episode is a little slow, strange, and jarring, but it establishes the world very well. At the end of the episode the plot kicks off and for the rest of the season we are following our characters fight to survive the alien world they are stuck on, as well as survive their own humanity. This show is an excellent animated adventure that I hope gets the attention it deserves. I cannot recommend strongly enough.
