Scavengers Reign

What is this streaming on?

other than fucking up and watching 80% of E9 while skipping E7&8, really enjoyed this. probably top 10 of things watched this year.

still no word on a season 2, creators said they felt they told a good complete story with season 1, but do have plans if it gets more.

Pretty sold after the first episodes. It is this crazy blend of old MTV Liquid Television (Aeon Flux, Max, etc) and early Adult Swim (Seaquest, Blue Gender,Venture Bros, Metalaocalypse) and a couple of other things. It really is pretty amazing I think, so far.

Had to mention blue gender, one of my oddly favorite series and movie. May have to give this one a shot.

Anybody else watching this? Haunting, nightmare inducing, anxiety causing, but also kind of amazing.

I think there's already a thread for this? But yeah, it's fucking amazing. Especially if you drop an edible before each viewing. I love crazy animation and Sci-Fi like this while on THC.

Weird, thanks. I used the search but came up with nothing. Was surprised due to how good this is. This is not your standard show and I have seen it making some lists for best of the year.

In the “current animation” compare and contrast battle, I enjoyed this WAY more than Blue Eyed Samurai. They aren’t same and it isn’t worth comparing probably other than to argue on the internet… but this was way better and that generic girl power samurai show was dumb.

Watched and enjoyed both but they are almost incomparable.

I really enjoyed this. I sincerely hope there's a second season. Disagree that this was a 'complete' story.

Not necessarily a huge fan of the weird-for-the-sake-of-weird ecosystem that is at the very heart of this show, but the clean bande dessinée inspired visuals, the neat, seemingly rotoscoped, animation and the simple but original story make it worth watching.
