Levi is the best robot. Thats it, that's the comment
Agreed.
It's between Claptrap and Levi for me
Even though the planet is unforgiving where your life is always at risk from a multitude of ways, it was with the planet’s help that Levi was able to save Azi.
I can't think of a robot in all of sci-fi that I like more than Levi.
👍
I put this on as a whim last night and watched the entire thing in one sitting. I feel terribly sad knowing this was a once in a million special piece of art and nothing will hit me the same for a long long time
Here's hoping for a second season.
Oh it will happen again. I was sceptical, but then Scavengers Reign came along.
I whole heartedly embrace Scavengers Reign. It truly is a MASTERPIECE. This is one of those times amongst mediocrity and mainstream media productions that this stands a beautiful portrayal of originality and will stand the test of time. Magnificent that i got to see this and absolutely alien world that it felt ALIEN.
This show is such a beautiful experience.
It captures perfectly so many aspects of the human spirit and the drive to not only survive but to live. This is present in every single character.
I think in particular it's so very poetic that while Kris is a great foil for Azi, she's also a direct inverse of Levi. Levi is a product that learns the value of personhood and connection while Kris is a person who sees others as products for consumption and disposal.
Levi becomes the most human character while Kris becomes the least.
I like how you hold up how Levi and Avi are inverse, and the story was just so gorgeous. Thank you for commenting!!
Would recommend made in abyss if you liked scavengers reign, they both have great great worldbuilding
@@myfathersjawline I've read the manga.
Scavengers reign is the only acceptable answer I could find on “what is the meaning of life” on an emotional level
kamen is by far the most fascinating character to me (as a big fan of characters who are the worst possible people) he is this avatar of denial and deluding the self, over his strength, his marriage, and his overall worth, the truth of him being not only terrible but *pathetic*. and his enthrallment to hollow only drives him deeper into his delusion and avoidant tendencies, he is unable to confront his own actions and when he does, he gives in to lying fetal postition in the womb of a giant alien frog. his issue is not quite that of toxic masculinity but definitely something adjacent, an inability to introspect and inflated sense of importance with a whimpering infant at its center.
It's such an incredible arc. I love the way you have articulated it here, thank you!!!
He poisoned alien minds with his regret and anger 😂 🤯
Scavengers Reign deserves more love! Thank you for the video!!!
Wholeheartedly agree. And thanks for watching!
Agree
Literally just finished watching this show ~20 minutes ago, and it was genuinely one of the most creative, thoughtful, brilliant shows I’ve ever watched. The characters! The ecosystem! The music! The visuals (honestly whoever’s in charge of color design needs to get a raise please please please)! It’s just so beautiful in such a unique way. Idk, still trying to put my thoughts together abt this show, but it’s truly one of a kind
Edit: Just wanted to add that I love the detail that Ursula starts wearing kind of a Sam outfit in the timeskip in the last episode; pink shirt over white shirt, jeans, belt
I can't believe I forgot to mention that in the video!! D:
This show blew me away in every way. I really need to watch it again. I desperately hope it gets a second season.
I hope it does too, there is so much potential and such a good set up here
I hope it doesn't. And I loved it more than anything.
@@Shillbillywell in another story unrelated to this one
For me it's the juxtaposition of the very real, very human characters against the indifferent alien landscape. The humanity of the characters and their relationships is what motivates them to keep struggling against the alien planet. They're fighting tooth and nail against an entire ecosystem that doesn't hate them, but it will kill them and subject them to some of the most horrific deaths imaginable. I'm not necessarily sure the human characters are the scavengers here. The planet and it's alien life seem to be the scavengers. The aliens take and use anything and everything they can get. It even scavenges inorganic material. Hollow seems to subjugate Kamen. The heart parasite turns Sam into a machine that spreads it's eggs and builds it's shelters. The planet itself integrates Levi into it's biomes. A single flower was enough material to pollinate the entire escape vessel that Kris stole. I JUST finished the last episode and I have all these thoughts floating around. I'm also not sure I understand Kamen's entire arc yet.
Also using "Im letting you be proud" as an example is a fantastic one moment that tells you all yiu need to know about kris.
Also i think barry was a lovely natural display of someone on the spectrum
Agreed. Kris is a terrible human being and an awesome character. I also liked seeing a character like Barry, someone with a cult-like mentality, but still able to think for himself.
This show is very underrated.. it's fantastic, the world is alive in so many distinct ways.. the voice acting is on point as well
Happy that a lot of people have really connected with this and I can’t deny how much talent is on display in the making of this. I really don’t think it is AS great as some make it out to be, and I would love to see where the team behind this evolve.
It captures everything sci-fi could and should be. In terms of the nature of everything it tackles and world building, such a wonderful labor of love.
This show is whimsical and magical, and I love that it explores a "dark side" of that. Humans aren't top of the food chain without our tools, and without large groups. I haven't seen anything like this and I desperately want more. Thanks for this video, it deserves more love.
Such an attentive analysis. This show offers a level of quality rarely seen in anything. Truly a criminally over looked gem.
I think it'll get the attention it deserves when it's brought over to Netflix on May 31st
I feel like it’s getting a similar treatment with Pantheon
Although it’s faring better since at least S1 is conclusive enough
@@MJAY-yf3kbwait, I thought it’s gonna be simultaneously held on Max and Netflix for whatever reason
It's an excellent show. I almost never rewatch TV series on my own but I've already rewatched Scavengers Reign multiple times and I will probaby do so again soon. The atmosphere of the show is truly special and it's all enhanced by compelling characters, elegant and detailed animation, and a great soundtrack. Definitely one of my favorite works of science fiction.
I watched this show recently, and it's the epitome of how to do visual story telling the right way. We, the audience, land on Vesta with the characters, learning and experiencing what the planet has to offer. There's no exposition on what is what, but it's all done through cause and effect. We managed to only get 12 episodes, and yet each character is developed and feels unique. Considering that Vesta is their new home, they have to learn how to play by its rules and find their place in the ecosystem along with the other flora and fauna. Even with everything going on, the show does a great job exploring their basic, mundane themes as much as their more complex themes. The art is sublime, but it's enhanced by the incredible storytelling.
k but, honestly that giant frog can twist memories to dominate my brain any time it wants
I want a big huge Hollow pillow to snuggle, he'd make such a great plush. In varying sizes too!!
As someone who LOVES the awakening of consciousness in robots Levi immediately became my favourite character in the whole show. Seeing their wonder and curiosity bloom it made me so incredibly invested and devastated when they “died”. This show really is like an actual gem so priceless no amount of money could compare to seeing it for the first time.
To me, the most fascinating quote, and probably overlooked one is when Levi tells Ursula: "I was BORN here."
For a robot to consider himself born when he arrived on a strange planet once forming a symbiotic bond with that mold is kind of heartbreaking and terrifying at the same time.
This show was amazingly refreshing!!! I found myself fully immersed in the story, I walked away immediately wanting more.
Same, honestly. I've rewatched it multiple times while writing this video and I really need more of this show.
I hope more people talk about this show, you’re right that it is so thought provoking
Us too. We were a little surprised theres so little relative buzz, there is SO much to talk about and well, CONNECT on!!
Great, video. Full of humanity
Thank you, the Hedgehog did an incredible job on this one!
Yay! I’m glad you looked into specifically the characters of this show.
Now that it’s on Netflix, I really hope more people watch this. And eventually get a season 2.
That ending with the mystic space cult has me reeaaallly excited
I am so so hopeful we get a season 2. So much incredible potential here!!! Thank you for the comment. This is an incredible video from the Hedgehog and we're so happy you enjoyed!
Whatever stress you have on your mind. The time you spend watching this series will help you forget about it. Even if you don't like animation
I adore Levi! It broke my heart, as well as Azi's when he was shattered… and we're in Episode 7 now, so no SPOILERS from anyone, please! I thought it was possible Levi would return in some form all along… though my partner was skeptical. Already, we've just now seen some creatures moving fragments of Levi's robot body back together… and I figured that yellow mold might "remember" him. Love Love Love this show!!! It's original and stunning!!! - BPG
Fantastic breakdown… im watching it for a second time and looking up vids on it. You earned a sub!
I first binged Scavengers Reign about 2-3 weeks ago. I'm back to watch this with no spoilers! I think my favorite Scavenger is Kamen. I had a ranking for everyone else, but Kamen is just that one character in a series that once in a while I latch onto. He's just awful and his retribution by making him live with himself and his actions is just great.
The ecosystems in this blew me away. I really loved a lot of the creatures shown. The little bug bird things that catch the water are my favorite little guys they look like little shot glasses. Also the road runner raptor esque dinos that capture their prey and then obliterate them with the heat of the sun is so cool we need more really varied and cool creatures.
There's so many ups and downs to this show that had me crying and sitting up and staring waiting to see what would happen. The cruelty of the land and the idea that nature is still nature here is something that definitely stuck with me (thinking about Terrance being crushed to death and the parasites inside the peaceful sea slug...thingys that Ursula and Sam take shelter in).
It takes us with the scavengers so far out of the depths of comfort and I love it. There's a guess of "what does that mean and what are the consequences for this action?" at every interaction in the new world and it comes with hefty prices. I love everyone's character arcs so much, and the little Levis are adorable.
I definitely plan on rewatching and hoping for a s2 and a physical release one day. And merch. I'd love a little Vespa/Levi plush or the flower figurine.
Also, as I continued to watch, the theme piano music started to feel heavier and heavier, especially leading up to the reveal about Kamen. Intrigue into foreboding and despair and then acceptance for me.
Thanks for this video!
This is the best show I’ve ever watched! I love spec bio and alien worlds and all that stuff and the amount of just creatures and wildlife in this show is ✨beautiful.✨
We were jawdropped. Couldnt believe how little fanfare it got, truly.
Absolutely fantastic series. I’ve been a sci-fi fan for over sixty years. This is imaginative and unique. Please please please make a second season.
Similar to moebius artwork?
Great video. Not enough people are talking about this show
The series was so good! Animation reminded me of Akira and princess mononoke. The world was amazing and the storytelling was fantastic from start to finish
Definitely lots of Ghibli vibes. Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind were clear inspirations for some of the art decisions in the show.
I'm off the next 2 days, I'm binging it again. It's legit the beat animated show since ATLA, and I stand on that shit.
If destiny 2 gets an animated series I want it to be these guys animating it
This show changed the way i think as well. Thank you for the video, great analysis of the characters and ideas in the show. Keep up the great quality vids man 👌👌
Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it! I was very passionate about this one and I hope that comes across in the vid.
Initially I got into this show because I'm a nut for speculative evolution/biology (on the side at least) and was looking for inspiration for a few projects I was working on. I'd seen someone talking about its release on a No Man's Sky forum online. I love that game and occasionally like to dabble in just exploring and having fun there. I saw the trailer and thought "Ooooooh. that looks pretty neat." And decided to watch it.
I was not expecting something that caused me to completely rethink my entire existence on a fundamental and philosophical level. This show blew me away on so many levels.
I, admittedly, was a bit slower to pick up on some of the overarching themes and narratives. But Sam dying shook something in me. I realized at the end when he was sitting under that tree that he seemed to understand, even for a brief moment. I saw him recognize his connection with Ursula and the interconnectedness of the life and the world all around them. I saw the manifesting of, in my eyes, Eudaemonia. The truest essence of what it meant to be alive and to recognize that connection. However, fleeting that recognition or even our lives is.
Most of the other characters all either do or come to recognize this at some point for sure. I was rooting for Azi that whole time and Levi is that classic "wise-sage-type" character that's always fun to listen to. But something about Sam's arc hit me much differently than the others. Maybe its because he reminds me of someone. Perhaps myself, or an older version of myself or my family. My running theory is that I see myself in him. Growing up (and I'm still quite young) I was always obsessed with doing things and going through the motions. That is because . . . . I was raised in a cult.
In large part, this is why I hate Kris so much (she's well written of course) but she reminds me of everything I hate in other people and in my own upbringing. How I was told to do meaningless things for performative reasons or was constantly under threat of losing the people around me if I didn't. Or the authoritarian/manipulative nature of everything in my social life.
Bringing this back to Sam though, I feel like that. Sometimes even now. I constantly feel like there's something I must do. Im tired and scared of what my future holds. I still see other performative gestures that I hate and I still sometimes catch myself doing them.
But, at the end of all that. I find myself constantly in awe. In being vulnerable about this, I'm shocked at the fact of my own existence and experiences. I see the connections, the threads that hold me and my existence together. I see the world! I see my life! I see LIFE! No matter how briefly I see it. It's beautiful.
Anyways, apologies for the rant. Just wanted you to know that this was a great video essay. I loved it and love this show. Thank you for this.
Me and my bro watched it recently and definitely was but shame got cancelled but nailed a lot of depth and both of us felt proper sci Fi show we ain’t seen for ages
Really happy to see you cover this show!! It's definitely one of the best sci-fi series I've ever seen and it was a joy to hear you gush about it! (...I should try Geocaching...!)
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it.
And yeah, absolutely try geocaching! It's one of my favourite hobbies. It's super easy to get started with and it's like doing a real life scavenger hunt. It kinda reminds me of searching for frogs or shiny rocks as kids-- only this time, you're searching for stuff people have ACTUALLY hidden. It's great!
Oh, sh-t, I've seen that short film years ago! It's been brilliant and now there's a full series? 🎉🎉
Yep! It's out on Netflix in the US and the UK right now!
LOVE IT!!!!!! I hope we get a season 2!
Nothing makes me cry ever!!
Scavengers Reign has entered the chat
Ah f@ck 😭😭 Episode 5 I never hated a telepathic alien beast more than in this episode, poor Azi😭
Incredible analysis
I'm glad you enjoyed!
It’s crazy processing the human psyche!
Well stated. Its a beautiful series... more imaginative than Star Wars and Star Trek combined
Truly alien. A masterpiece
bold of you to assume that moral dilemmas, addiction, and situations that affect social status and familial responsibility are exclusive to adults living adult lives. that this idea comes so naturally to you shows that you have not experienced a truly broken family, or a terrible influence at a young age, or financial destitution by merit of circumstances entirely out of your control as a child. kids go through these things all the time. this show is important for everyone, and no story is too mature for a child who has gone through everything.
This show was a masterpiece
Agreed.
Ugh this show was so good!!! I keep recommending it to people :-)
I am actually using some of the themes of this show in my next Lancer campaign. It's helped me think about certain sci Fi concepts in an entirely new way and I think that is really cool.
Unexpected Lancer reference!
The lil Levi's 😢 great stuff here subd
Thank you!
I thought Nausicaa was an obvious huge inspiration, and Miyazaki in general. The sense of space and breath they give the environment is straight out of his films (and some other anime). I was also reminded of Mare Internum, by Der-Shing Helmer. I'd say the ecosystem she developed has a very similar vibe to this one, and the character dynamics also have some notable similarities.
I love this as well. Such breathtaking art. I love creature design and it was phenomenal and so were the landscapes and characters.
And the story and characters are so well written
this was such a wonderful video! you went into everything about the show in such a graceful way thank u for this!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love Scavengers Reign and would love to get a second season!
I'm gonna for sure have to watch this now
You will NOT regret it, it is 100% worth your time
i absolutely adore this show. i watched it in one sitting when it came out on Netflix, and it filled that little science fiction shaped hole in my heart.
i think my favorite part is the theme of nature "doing its thing", for lack of a better word. it grows and changes and lives and dies, with no intent. it's neither kind nor malicious, it's simply existing. the only intent is the one that Kamen introduces, really. even the parasite that kills Sam was just fulfilling its life cycle and reproducing. it's terrifying, but it's not evil. i think Ursula's comment in episode 3 sums it up best: "It wasn't a waste of time."
every part of the ecosystem is important. everything is linked together. to be isolated from that is to fail, because we only succeed when we work together.
i also find kris really interesting. she clearly mostly cares about herself, but she did the breathing exercise with Terrence so that he would be unconscious when she killed him. i like how complex she is
This was amazing to watch
Thank you so much!
This was a really great video.
Thank you so much!
Maybe its The Wire of science fiction tv animation.
Beautiful show!!!!💥🔥🔥😉
Lovely video! I can't wait to see this visual masterpiece! Sub'd!
we're defs not talking about scavengers reign enough, where's my 3 hour deep dive
I'm down to do one if there's an audience for it! lol
The question is; what topics to cover that I haven't already covered in this video? A deep dive on the various species and interesting choices made by the creators? A section on the various places the creators took artistic inspiration from? An in-depth look at particular characters?
Algorithm boost
You should give Primal a try. I know that its (very) bloody, but when the characters seldom, if EVER, talk but convey the words and thoughts as well, if not BETTER, then if they did... it makes everything work great!
I remember seeing promos for this and while we have a robust list it's certainly one to consider!!
I watched this recently after watching video about Made in Abyss and someone in the comments mentioned Scavengers Reign. I went to go watch it and I really enjoyed it. I'm actually more into fantasy than sci-fi. In order for me to watch something sci-fi related, it really depends on what kind of story it is, the aesthetic, and what makes it so appealing that grabs your interest in wanting to see it right away.
Somehow, Scavengers Reign manage to grab my attention and I kept watching it. I guess it also helps if show has really good storytelling without making it boring. I do like Star Wars. Sure, it has a mixture of both sci-fi and fantasy, which makes it more appealing to me. There's also Star Trek, but depends on the shows and movies. The classic Star Trek movies (specifically the even numbered ones) are appealing. I think what draws me in is the action. If there's action in it, then that gets me excited to watch the sci-fi stuff. There's also Futurama. It's entertaining and funny to watch.
I had my hands on my face during like half of the episodes because I wanted to cover my eyes
Never heard of Scavengers Reign .. some article come up on my newsfeed and I jumped on it .. probably one of the best anime's I've ever seen! Hope for a season 2!
Fingers crossed!
HBO recently canceled it. It'll be available on Netflix next month. Hopefully they'll pick it up for a second season.
It’s awesome
LOVE this show and this analysis of the planet's intricate ecosystem. I wouldn't say that Hollows species is an herbivore though. Pretty sure they're omnivore opportunists that will eat whatever they're able to chew physically. They're definitely a predator species, not passive herd herbivores. They're also the most intelligient species we've seen so far - Hollow definitely understands complex positive and negative emotions of a foreign species (humans) and how to induce specific sensations chemically. They're a VERY advanced species!
In my defense, never do we see a single other one of Hollow's species eat another creature-- living or dead. We only see them eat fruit, using their telepathy to get other critters to bring them food because they're lazy.
U should watch pantheon. Amazing adult animated sci-fi series. Crazi storyline
I've been told to check out Pantheon. It's definitely on my list of things to watch!
Everything I like gets cancelled
While it was thematically appropriate, I did take pause every time human, aliens to this world, fell victim to the ecosystem in ways that were expected.
Like when a parasite that takes over the nervous system of other creatures did its thing to Sam. It shouldnt be able to do that to a nervous system it’s never encountered before.
You could explain it away as “humans must be comparable b/c this is a carbon-based ecosystem” but that feels like oversimplifying.
I liked how hollow and kamen’s relationship worked by comparison; where they formed a codependent relationship that extrapolated the kind hollow’s species normally has with its symbiotic targets. It was an unexpected outcome for the interaction b/w these aliens that still had narrative significance.
One of the things i dont see people mentioning. I dont think Hollow was a natural predator, or monster.
I think its species is a natural symbiotic organism, and by bonding with Kamen, it was influenced and "poisoned" (which Hollow Fiona even says) by Kamen. Once kamen and Hollow seperate it is back to its smaller and weaker self as if reborn free of Kamens "taint"
It makes me want to know more about Hollows species so badly
Edit: ahh i see something similar was said in the video lol
Yes, Hollow's species are clearly a lazy intelligent species that form symbiotic relationships in order to get a simpler creature to feed them, and in exchange, they feed the creature. Hollow had the misfortune of connecting telepathically with a toxic mind like Kamen's, which poisoned their relationship and that coupled with feeding Hollow other animals probably lead to Hollow's crazy growth.
5:24 you know rain world?
Indeed! Love Rainworld.
fr
Kris is definitely a bad person but nah, she didn't kill Terrence. That was on him for wandering off without caution (normal reaction when angered tho tbf). Kris' annoyance with Barry being constantly distracted and wandering off is like the only thing she WAS right about. They're on an unknown planet full of dangerous species - def not the time for carelessness.

Also I’m going to watch this show soon
Please give it a watch! It's a blast, especially if you're already big into biology or sci-fi.
Thanks for replying that really made my day. Also considering you like this show I recommend Murder Drones.
I (the Bat) am a fan of Murder Drones!!
I don't think the world did a kind thing for Kamen. In fact, I think in the end Kamen might not be Kamen at all..
The show just got canceled by HBO So disappointed it was a great show. Hopefully someone else picks it up. Maybe Amazon maybe Netflix?
Hasn't been cancelled! It's just moving over to Netflix where it might reach a wider audience. Please give it a watch on May 31st so hopefully it gets picked up for a second season!
It's being brought over to Netflix. They've shown serious interest in picking the show up for a possible second season, but I guess it depends on how many people watch it when it premieres on Netflix, so fingers crossed
Barry is barely past puberty.
Very Sad, the people were written off as dead by their colony, not knowing they're still alive, moving forward in life, learning to survive on a alien planet, forgotten and cancelled, so sad to me.
Is there a button to turn off the hedgehog image? I couldn't find it in the settings menu.
I am a feature of the video. You can't turn me off.
This won't get a second season
Its not that it's a masterpiece. It's that for once youre getting real science fiction instead of fake Hollywood Scifi. People get so used to the pablum that when they see the real thing, it blows their mind.
I don't think I would have understood the concepts of the video without the cartoon porcupine doing absolutely nothing in the corner.
Rude.
It was just cancelled
Well, it’s going to also start streaming on Netflix, so hopefully they can revive it 🤞
It was canceled by HBO max, but it is heading on over to Netflix on May 31st. I'm sure it'll get the attention it deserves on there enough to hopefully get a season 2 greenlit by Netflix 🤞
Hey, sorry to be rude, but i believe your OC (the hedge hog) really brings down the overall quality of the video.
I mean, I dunno what to tell you-- that's our channel's brand. Deal with it or don't, it's up to you!
This series.... I mean, it's gorgeous, and I love the idea, but the big hang-up I had with the execution is that the dialogue is just all over the damn place in tone. Why the _hell_ is everyone so laissez-faire and casual about being stranded on an unknown planet with a hostile, volatile, and active living ecosystem? They consistently treat this like a tour of a botanical garden instead of a life-or-death matter- and an _urgent_ life-or-death matter, at that, if it's not being redundant, considering they're racing to get their fallen crewmen still in the ship out of cryostasis before the power fails and they all die.
I kept on listening to their conversations and observations about the world around them and their relationships with each other and wondering "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SHUT THE HELL UP AND MOVE YOU ARE ON A TIMER"
*Eyeroll. It's nonsense after nonsense. Everything is just "What's the weirdest thing we could think of happening?" None of it matters, none of it makes any sense, things just happen. Characters blindly walk or sprint into deadly situations with no prompting. There's no reason to run into certain death, they just do so that the artists can draw more weird stuff. Did you like LOST where weird things happen and none of it matters and it's all a dream? Then yeah, Scavengers will be a "Masterpiece" for you.
Savengers Reign doesn't have to be to your liking, but the show took 7 YEARS to make. You don't put that much time into a single season of nonsense.
You're allowed to be wrong, but I'd recommend taking a literature class again if your understanding of characters and themes is this piss poor.
There are so many calls to Studio Ghibli (SG) to recognise in SR, which I think is THE best referencing for any animation to aspire to. SR IS seriously awesome, and makes the time to allow the story to feel naturally evolved for the viewer... SG style.
@Idle Scree - give up a few hours and binge on SG films... there is no horror in SG except one extremely sad film.
We already are huge Studio Ghibli fans! The Bat has seen basically every Ghibli film worth watching and the Hog grew up watching Hayao Miyazaki's films.
@@idlescree This is the way!
My favourite Miyazaki film is Castle in the Sky-- but I love almost all of them. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, The Wind Rises, all brilliant.
