This is the best sci-fi I have seen for years, and I do not mean animated sci-fi but sci-fi in general! The beautiful artistic style of the show is heavily inspired by the art of Moebius, Hayao Miyazaki, Philippe Druillet and Alexandro Jodorowsky and also references such beloved classics as AKIRA, ALIEN and many more. Please watch it on Netflix if you can, it will increase the chance of a second season of this masterpiece getting produced. The ones of you who have already watched it, what do you think?
Could someone explain what deal was with the psychic monkey frog and the red head towards the end? ::: starting from when the 2 merged. ::: After that I felt like I missed a chapter.
There a lot of discussions about the relationship/symbiosis of Hollow and Kamen, over on r/ScavengersReign. Basically, Hollow is a telepathic symbiote who connects with Kamen instead of the little toad like symbiotes his species co-evolved with. What happens then is subject of many discussions and interpreations.
I felt Hollow motivations were unclear and took away from the show when he was actively attacking humans and hardware. Like destroying the empty ship seemed like a odd choice. Once he got to the freight ship It made more sense again. Loved the rest of the show just that small bit just couldn’t get over.

Kamen’s personality had influenced Hollow significantly at that point and that explains his behavior pretty well imo.

I also had several moments when things did not seem to make sense, guess I will notice more details when I watch it again.
Just finished last night, ohh boy what a trip this show was. I liked how the show started with the survivors already used to their environment, like they had been there for months. Really got imaginative with the different ways the characters interacted with the plant and animal life, like the scene where Ursula is staring at the flower. Some parts reminded me a lot of a Rick and Morty bit where Rick just invents something using the resources at his disposal.
Highly reccomend this show, would love to see another season, which is why I have also been suggesting this show to anyone and everyone.
Happy that you liked it! Now tell all your friends about it. We need to bring the views up so Netflix will greenlight season two!
The story fell a bit flat for me around the middle of the season.
But I certainly appreciate the thought and effort put into the ecology. That was amazing.
Awesome post.
Just to add on-- the art director here is “harriorrihar,” i.e. Jon Juarez, previously introduced here once or twice.
Loved it. Finished the season and immediately told everyone I know to watch it.
