I get the feeling the hazmath suits would only provide temporaty protection given how the fuzzballs managed to borrow throught clothing and affect the skin below without trouble. Everything on that planet is well able to ignore most protections.
@@TechnoticPlate my fair guess is that given the nature of the company it's likely that the ship is not equipped with many suits, probably relying on drones for work in zero-g and lack of atmosphere areas
It's awesome how they show the yellow fungi on its circuits might be responsible for the robot self awareness. Like it's litteraly growing an organic nervous system inside it thus developing a bottom up intelligence on top of its programming. High quality sci fi here, no joke
I mean , is not so much sci-fi since mycelium + circuit boards result in wetware which is something that exist irl thought experimental , so fungi growing in the circuit board and changing the programming isn't that far-fetched
The puffball monster is a really ingenious monster design. The puff balls are localized numbing agents, with enough of them on a limb making it difficult to move the body part. The monster itself knows that the prey cannot escape, so it slowly wakes up and meanders towards the immobilized prey. It doesn't need multiple methods of attack since it doesn't need to fight, just one singular armour piercing fang does the trick. It has 6 flat feet to navigate bumpy terrain easily, thin legs to better meld to the body. Long flat tail to make the creature blend into the environment better. I love its whole shebang. Quality stuff
You have a lot of issues with the idea that such a complicated system could evolve. I understand that on a really old planet with life that's been around for a long time maybe something overly complex could develop but this is well beyond chance
@@RediTtora-sx1hb bruh, it's basically a living mushroom, or maybe, something akin to a parasect - yes, the pokemon. Two things merge to become one, but the being is actually the fungus controling a body and not only looking for nutrients, but for something else to infect. So, insectoid, spores, not a single care but to get the next target. Yep, sounds like cordyceps or whatever it's called.
@@RediTtora-sx1hb Nah, I saw one too many documentaries about it. The thing is very real - if it infects cicada for example, makes males act like females to mate with uninfected males and spread more. When there's not much more than the minimal for movement left in the bug's carcass, it climbs as much as it can to let the fungus take fruit, or grow the outside part and release even more spores. I'm not saying the thing in the video is a cordyceps, that's an alien, but numbing spores? Yeah, sounds fungal enough to me.
Moral of the story, if your robot starts gaining sentience in a strange planet don't be a dick and turn it off. Also probably a good idea to start kissing what ever passes for it's ass.
In her defense she literally has never seen this before. I feel like any sane person would like to make sure their only lifeline on an alien world is functioning properly. Their relationship improves way more after this though
Have you ever watched the movie The Burrowers? Kind of the same concept, the creatures only come out at night, they attack and immobilize/paralyze you with some kind of neurotoxin, and then bury you under the ground so only your nose or mouth are above ground so you can still breathe. And then they come back and feed on you. However you are still conscious and Alive the entire time while they are feeding on you... you just can't move or do anything about it. Now that is utterly horrifying!
Did you know that there is something in real world that is basically a horror movie There is an insect that is colored emerald or smth it stings roaches to hypnotize them or smth then it cuts off the antenna to taste the liquid in it puts it in its burrow lays eggs on it the eggs hatch and burrow inside the roach avoiding the organs so it doesnt die then uses it as a cocoon or smth so when it finally grows it just gets out of the roach I like those dudes tho because i hate roaches
So does that creature just essentially create abunch of floating Nerve agents that immobolize nearby prey, or even possibly lives symbiolically with a plant/fungi?
There’s no sign of the creature after levi punches it so either he punched it so hard that it exited stage left or exploded into the paralysis fluffs. Maybe the bug is immune and collects them or maybe they’re like fungus spores and levi just contributed to the growth of more these creatures. It could go any way, I think part of why this show is so incredible is that these organisms are at times beyond human understanding.
The monster just uses the ecosystem to it's advantage. It's a beetle, so with a hard external carapace I doubt it's affected by the spores and instead just benefits off of the paralysed soft bodied animals that wonder too close.
@notchedbandit there is alot of substance actually. The story is good in my opinion with multiple plot lines intersecting that hold a variety of characters. Some of which are polar opposites. Also entirely new sci-fi concepts.
One of the best series I've encountered in a long time. I literally just finished watching season 1 EP 12. Great story amazing art. If you're into exobiology this will blow you away, the creatures & how that world works is so imaginative.
I was about to go on gushing over the creatures, (and i am) like that puffball bug i loved its whole thing with the proboscis and paralyzing puffballs. But them the robot scene, great first impression of the robot, i did not know if it was sentient or not but then i was introduced to a really emotion filled statement about turning them off, i was completely caught off guard.
In the show, the robot (Levi) is shown to, at the very least, have a personality before this scene. Levi, immediately after this scene, asks Ozzy (the girl who's getting puffball'd) to not turn her off again, as "it stops them from seeing, thinking, or feeling." The puffball bug is really cool though.
Scavengers reign seems like a combination of the wilderness of rain world and how the environment isn’t just you, and how everything has a use, like in scorn
Good catch, I wondered if it was some sort of nerve killer! Trying to figure out what’s happening in real time as this thing meanders it’s murderous fang towards you- yikes!!
0:21 wait, so... those balls embed themeslves into her body and she can't tear them off. I think the larger creature at 1:15 (whose body is seemingly composed of the balls) uses them as a way to immobilize prey. Hoowever, since its body ismade out of the same material, would it be detaching its own body parts to search for food? Maybe it's like a siphonophore - a huge colony of singular organisms arranged around a core, who work together as a single entity? 2:44 Also, i love the way these helicopter-dragonfly thingies look.
The best part of this series for me is just how different the lifeforms are. It takes all our preconceived notions of what attributes we associate with living organisms and either alters them drastically or throws them out entirely. I'm not a biologist but for me it seems way more realistic and logical that that life and evolution ofn alien planets would be nearly unrecognizable
I think it just produces the puff balls, which aren't creatures (more like clumps of fur or spores) letting them stick to its back, and gradually allows them to detach / sends them out whenever it senses prey. Then again, when the robot attacks it there's no sign of a corpse, so maybe it is some sort of colony.
@@NecroMorrius This is just a typical América copy of anime. Cry all you want, made in abyss is being copied for this, just as Nausicaa. America's creativity died years ago.
@@anderelamaro3815 most of this stuff is built off the speculative fiction of the 1920s but all media is built off and influenced by it’s predecessors. This is more inline with those books than the media mentioned imo.
The closest would actually be the French comics series Worlds of Aldebaran, and especially the chapters in the Betelgeuse system. Those are full of eerie, truly alien creatures that you can never be quite sure are plant or animal or fungi - or something else still ; and which straddle between cute and fluffy, and terrifyingly deadly.
@@KerbalFacileThe reason people don't know about said pieces is because Japanese media and popular culture are currently highly anticipated by westerners. Comparisons like these above trivialize the body of work and contributions made by western talents to the genre of sci-fi and surrealism, seems like people don't know anything better besides anime, which is quite unfortunate, Japan has its own share of very unique scifi (the thing that I instantly remembered is Blood electric... Maybe also serial experiments lain, which kinda seems inspired by blood electric).
Is this based off the short "Scavengers" from a few years ago? Cause if it is.. I didn't know I wanted a Scavengers series but now that we have it, im in love.
Why is there always a complete lack of quarantine protocol in so many sci-fi settings....wear a god damn suit, anything!!!! on the flip side I would feel bad for any unfortunate creature unlucky enough to pray on humans, only to painfully expire from parasites, bacterial/viral/fungal infections. Not to mention any compounds in the human body that could be poisonous to those creatures. Cross contamination is fucking scary lol.
They landed there in escape pods. They were meant to be in stasis. They are looking for a way to bring the ship down from orbit. They have almost no gear.
the ending seems to imply the robot is more than a robot, ether near human level ai or judging by the alien mix of machine and organic tissue on the inside id guess this issint technicly a robot at all, but more of a cyborg, a geneticly enginiered life form whose been purpose grown to fit into a machine body. which would actualy be very energy efficient durable and flexable design for a future "machine" even as that term slowly becomes blurred by strange mixes of machine and bio technology.
It's no longer a robot though it was literally destroyed and regrown with plant parts. It also reproduces so I think robot is one thing you wouldn't call it anymore
facinating, thank you for the lore here awesome, but i miss spoke in my comment id forgotten robot now can apply to organic machines as well, the first generation of reproducing self feeding and healing machines have been made grown from geneticly modified frog cells these simple robots will randomly move through theyre micoscopic enviroment searching for food, and will construct more of themselves, the tech is in its infancy now but such programable bio robots could one day be the nano machines sci fi writers have invisioned, specialized micro robots designed to repair damaged tissie and fight things like cancer.@@RediTtora-sx1hb

I doubt that was on the top of the list when the ship was blowing up.
I get the feeling the hazmath suits would only provide temporaty protection given how the fuzzballs managed to borrow throught clothing and affect the skin below without trouble. Everything on that planet is well able to ignore most protections.

I totally agree!
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS TO FOLLOW THE GOD DAMN TRAIN CJ
WAS THAT A REALLY HARD TASK TO DO CJ?
The random recommendation of this clip some months back is what led me to find and watch this diamond in the tough. Such a great series
honestly the name puff adder would be 100% fitting
puffs get added
adders use fangs (i guess in this case fang, or proboscis)
fits in my way of viewing things if anything
I feel the monster is kind of an insect that uses the spores for immobilization with some kind of neurotoxin in the spores, this is so scary.
🫠💀i still think about how Velma got a season two right away.
R.I.P. little bloated head baby thingy 0:47
Give that robot a hug cuzz they just went through a traumatic experience being shut off
this series feels like something Luiz Eduardo de Oliveira drew.
The aldebaran and Betelgeuse cycles. Those comics feels exactly like this.
So underrated
this deserves more views.
Such creative aliens in this series
Feels like something from Made in Abyss.
I get that vibe too
That wonder and mystique of the world definitely feels similar.
David Bowie and Fantastic Planet vibes
Amazing show dont sleep on it
Oh boy Levi is such a great and interesting character, I sure hope nothing bad happens to her.🙂
When Studio Ghibli hired Junji Ito:
Any insect that has a proboscis to eat other living things really creeps me out
The puffballs are kinda like antibodies, they’re little things that immobilize bacteria, and make them easy for macrophages to eat
A robot just decribed my biggest fear for death. A bit funny.
"All we had to do, was follow the damn train, CJ!"
I remembered this incredible phrase after I looked at the first character XD

That thing was like the brain bug from Starship Troopers brain sucking Scene

They did to 100% take inspirations of "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind".
This would make a cool game
This cartoon gave me a phobia.
The fuzzballs off yoshis island must have inspired this
Reminds me of Starship Troopers
This show is like if Studio Ghibli's tone was "the horror of the unknown" instead of like "wonder" or whatever
Minds me of the cartoon Johnny Quest
