It's absolutely fantastic to see something so bold and original.
This show is utterly compelling because it takes its concept seriously and follows through in exploring it without compromise.
The short Scavengers from 2016 was thrilling for its originality, flair and creativity and I think Scavengers Reign completely justifies expanding that original idea into this season (and hopefully more).
The animation reminds me a lot of Studio Ghibli.
My favourite thing about this show might be the ideas it stimulates for my imagination.
The story itself is fairly simple but is told in a very engaging manner.
Even after just three episodes this has instantly become one my favourites of the year if not potentially number one.
I wish I could watch the rest of it right now, and that is a great sign.

The creativity is astounding, delivered in a way with just the right edits, cadence, and flow. Superb soundtrack, voice acting, writing. Everything is dialed in. It draws you right into the adventure.
There are some scenes that I am completely blown away by. The animation is absolutely superb. Another reviewer mentioned Fantastic Planet, and it does create that other worldly vibe, but in its own unique way.
This is the kind of story that sucks you in, and you can't help but want to know what happens next.
Where have the people who made this been hiding! Seriously! I am 100% amazed by this and I need this team to make more!
I love it!

The world shown in this show is one of the most beautiful and enchanting places I've had the pleasure of witnessing. The creatures and their designs are endlessly unique and creative, and the environments they inhabit are just as breathtaking. While sometimes nonsensical in world-building terms, your disbelief is easily suspended while gazing at incredible landscapes and bafflingly interesting creatures. The characters are engaging and their writing is snappy and charming, making it very easy to anchor yourself to the story they are a part of. The phrase "style over substance" has been used a few times, but I wholeheartedly believe there is more than enough substance present to immerse yourself in this world. The plot so far is a very simple, motivators of "survive" and eventually "get to a place", but it is very easy to fall in love with this story and I am very excited for the future of this show. A very easy 9/10.

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'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!
