We started watching Scavengers Reign last night. I'd heard it was good and that it was animated, but I didn't expect to be kind of rough. It is in a good way. It definitely looks like people drew it.
As a result, it sort of looked like Sealab 2021 to us at first, even though it's serious show.
Here's all the things it reminded us of:
- Adventure Time (amazingly, Maeby from Arrested Development plays a robot that sounds like NEPTR)
- FenslerFilms GI Joe shorts
- Hilda
- Slay the Spire
- Star Wars throwaway scenes with space animals
It's packed to the brim with weird creatures eating each other, which is always some combination of gross and hilarious. It's sort of like MAD Magazine margin comics running all the time, except more arty.
The plot seems decent, but more importantly, the vibe is unique, and there's a lot to watch, whether it's important to the plot or not.
