Love death and robots is proof giving animators more budget won't always result in a better end result. 80% of the episodes rely on fancy visuals to trick people into liking them when their story is rushed and incomplete at best and beyond dogshit at worst.
Most the series feels like a tech demo reel for animators to point out they worked on because the writing sure as fuck is tech demo tier.
Another problem is that the episodes have a 10 minute runtime and half of them waste the 5 minutes with busywork that barely counts as setup (or alternatively 5 minutes with pointless action) resulting in attrociously slow pace where the first half puts you to sleep and the second half (if its not another 5 minutes of pointless action) has to cram a 10 minute story in 5 minutes.
Tall grass is the worst culpript of this. 5 minutes of setup, 5 minutes of pointless action, 1 minute of exposition.
This series has the most extreme variance in quality I have ever seen in any series EVER, with some episodes being straight up unwatchable and some being peak fiction.
Kino episodes that are unironically good fiction by any standard:
Pop squad (bonus points, this one pissed off a lot of reddit antinatalists), witness, beyond aquilla rift, drowned giant, bad travelling, zina blue, ice (last one is a bit undercooked tho).
They're the only episodes with an actual beggining, middle and end that tell a complete story without being riddled with plotholes, shit pacing or just being boring.
Night of the mini dead and All through the house are hillarious for what they are and also good. Night of the mini dead is ice age but good.
Special mention: Swarm.
Go read the original short story. The retarded coomers in charge of this episode cut out multiple crucial parts of exposition to insert pointless sex scenes so the episode by itself makes no sence unless you've read the original ending, which is actually good.
Everything else is boring, lazy, rushed, bland, generic, pretentious, badly writen or just botched. I need to make 2 special mentions. Sonny's edge and good hunting that a lot of people praise.
People praise sonny's edge because of the twist at the end without realizing that as soon as you spend more than 1 second thinking about it it makes no sense. Sonny has the technology to just swap bodies to whichever one she wants yet choses to spend 99% of her time confined to a cramped tube unable to move and 1% risking her life? Why? There's no reason for it. She's not FORCED to stay in the kharnivore out of nessecity, she just wants to because she's an idiot.
Also, in the original story the short is based on she wasn't raped, that was a lie she made up to cover up her drunk driving. Netflix just had her be raped because men are evil rapists and women can do no wrong.
The other one people praise is good hunting, which is a pretty intresting story about technology vs magic, and progress vs tradition which is alright until the fox lady turns into a fucking steamepunk terminator vigilante hunting down englishmen in fucking top hats and monocles raping chinese women in alleyways, in this case its white men are evil rapists.
I can elaborate on why any episode is shit, but since the series is more bad than good I couldn't be fucked to write 30 reviews on why every single episode is dogshit, I will do so upon request tho because I have so much to say.
Also, Jibaro is the most pretentious piece of shit ever.
