First time watching this, the first thing that brought back was "Fantastic Planet". Both movies & episodes have totally alien landscape, creatures that are explained as you watch them.
I think the hardest part of "Scavenger Reign" is to throw you in the middle of the situation that you never thought existed. Finding out the situation episode by episode was on both, you learned as the movie/episode was watched.
Let's not forget the strange animation Fantastic Planet was cutting edge for the time.
But what makes "Scavenger Reign" break away from the others is the story. You don't get a run of the mill Science Fiction story with a long explaining background story. You learn as they learn. How the creatures all have a purpose that can kill you or help you survive. You also see how the characters get smarter but also how they fall apart.
The animation is clean and they make sense how flying insects that blend into the trees and seems to be a reason for that. Once again, you learn as they learn. This show is Definitely NOT for little kids. Bizarre and beautiful, really incredibly thought out creatures, gorgeous landscape and beats any Disney movie, that's for sure.

Eye opening from the start! Adam Driver is a Lenny Bruce type comic & Marion Cotillard is amazing as his Opera singing wife was mesmerizing. (But as another reviewer said "My wife would turn it off after the opening" Well, Mine would also).
Myself, I love Opera/Musical movies. "La La Land", "All That Jazz" this movie fits right in. Beautifully showing that the genre still appreciated. Some will get it, some won't. The performances are amazing. I can't say more than that. Forget Howard Wollowitz, Simon Helberg's talent as an amazing pianist from "Big Bang Theory" gives an amazing performance as conductor/composer of Marion's opera. It's always great to see his talent in this operetta.
Let's not forget the fantastic music & lyrics from the Ron & Russell Mael. I've been a fan from the first "Kimono My House". Just beautiful meaningful words & music.
Give it a chance and come for the performances, stay for the acting & music.
