Scavengers Reign

This is literally the most imaginative and amazing show I have seen in the last 20 years. I imagine the people that made this grew up like I did watching shows like Alien Planet over and over and wishing they had made more episodes. I was always intrigued by what life could be like on other planets. This is one of the things that makes me like science fiction so much. The mystery of what could be. This show build a world that is many layers deep with plants and animals interacting in ways totally unique. I started it not expecting much as nothing worth watching is made these days. Well I guess I was wrong. This to me is THE BEST show to come out in regards to science fiction in a long time. It is what good alien sci fi should be. It is beautiful and scary and interconnected and just superb in so many aspects I wish more would add focus to. I imagine a show with the biggest budgets made this way but they would just ruin it. I hope they make 20 seasons of this and visit as many or more worlds. Helps you appreciate the wonder in the world. I feel like I don't even have the words this morning as it is early but if it says anything I haven't written a review in probably a year or more. Those are usually because something was so bad never because it was amazing.... this was amazing I wish I could give it 20 stars an oscar and every other award so many shows that don't deserve nothing get.

I find my self at a loss for words, yet I will do my best to try to convince you to watch what could very well be the next groundbreaking Sci-Fi Epic. It has been a while since I'v been this impressed wih anything(animated or otherwise). Let's be honest creative media is a dying bread in modern entertainment. But I ran into the trailer and it looked promising enough. But what I witnessed was something like getting high in church and watching a man outside splitting the river in half with a wand(not religous, nor have I been high, just painting a picture). Breathtaking visuals, accompanied by a fantastic soundtrack makes this a must watch for any sci-fan fan. The voice cast is also excellent. This might be the silver-lining of this year.

I have seen the first 3 episodes. ( my first review ever)

The series creators understands "Show, don't tell", it doesn't hold your hand, and i love it for it, this show is not for everybody, but if you have a love for science fiction and miss the imagination of old school sci fi this is for you.

I have been looking for this for years, i thought this kind of space sci fi was dead... it has this old schools science fiction feel to it, the alien planet feels extraterrestrial, new and fresh. Not just the humanoids on a other planet, that so many other shows in this genre do.

You are joining the protagonists on their journey of survival, exploration and hardship, you learn about the people and planet as the story unfolds mostly visually, giving multiple viewings meaning. After watching 3 episodes i have so many questions, and that is a good thing.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the show. Fleshing out characters and the world they now inhabit.

Art style is is beautiful and and super creative. You can tell there is put a lot of thought into the world, flora and fauna.

The first episodes have scratch my science fiction itch for now. There are a total of 12 episodes.

I gave it 10\10, not because it is perfect, nothing is, but because of what its traying to do, no other show is even close that i know of the last years.

My only hope is that the show does well and we get more ;)

Sometimes you may not know what to say. Expressing the experience you've had and the emotions it has stirred within you can be very difficult with words. If this experience is something metaphysical or profound, then there's nothing to be done, really. You simply surrender yourself to that experience (like being a pilgrim in Mecca or seeing Jesus in a dream). However, if this experience is created by human hands, that's when we call it art. And Scavenger Reign is a true work of art that has risen like a spring from the midst of the increasingly monotonous visual arts in recent years.

How do I describe it, where do I even begin? My journey with Scavengers began with watching Bennett and Huettner's mind-bending short film. Ever since the news came out that this incredible work would be turned into a series, I had been eagerly awaiting it. Finally, the wait is over, and we managed to watch the first episodes of the series. Oh my God, from the very first second, it promises to fulfill your expectations completely. Every second, every scene is a visual feast that makes you wonder if you'll miss anything and draws you into a different reality. The animation quality, the progression of the story, the music, sound effects... everything is wonderful. My only wish is for it to continue without losing its brilliance.

Movies, documentaries, animations, anime, comics, and other media about life on other planets are not an unfamiliar subject in science fiction. However, the way this subject matter is handled is as impressive as Tarkovsky's "Solaris." Firstly, the planet where the events take place has a mysterious yet entirely convincing ecosystem. The scientists who have to live there become a part of this ecosystem as they unravel its mysteries. This ecosystem is presented with a consistent design, reminiscent of Art Nouveau, with coherence in everything, from the planet's life forms to its plant life, geography, and climate. The colors, textures, sounds... this planet feels real enough to be possible.

The second important point is that in order to create such a world so successfully, you need to have a well-founded philosophical knowledge and perspective on existence and life, unless you're a deity. If it were not so, the creators of the series could easily have succumbed to popular exaggerations and inconsistent drawing games. But they don't. It's well thought out and minimalist all the way through. You can understand that nothing takes precedence over anything else. And it instills in you the belief that this ecosystem has existed on that planet for millions of years, just like on Earth. All that's left is to lean back and dream of being a part of that team while watching the series.

Actually, there are many more things I want to write, but as I mentioned at the beginning, this work of art makes me feel things far beyond what I can write. That's why I want to stop here. And I want to thank the people who brought this project to life and shared it with us. Enjoy watching.

I'll start by admitting that this show was practically made for me. I love shows and movies like this, where humans have been in space for a while and are starting to settle it. The entire premise of this show was tailored specifically to my tastes, it felt like.

As I watched the show, I fell in love with the characters, the complex world-building that came with the planet Vesta, the animation style, and the voice performances. I was enamored with the ecosystem the animators invented on Vesta. It was so creative and complex and beautifully contrasted the simple season arc of "get to the Demeter". It unpacked some heavy and existential ideas, and was an overall creative and wildly original entry into the "alien planet" category of the science fiction genre. I've recommended it to so many of my friends, and I was gutted when I found out that Season 1 would be it's only.

This is a show that, in twenty, ten, even as little as five years' time, will be remembered as a show that deserved more. This show deserves to find its' audience. I would comfortably put money on this show becoming wildly successful with a dedicated fan base if it got to grow and expand into more seasons.

So, in the off chance that someone from HBO or Netflix that has control over this kind of thing sees this, PLEASE RENEW THE SHOW. Give her the fighting chance she deserves!
