Hey, we've seen some fantastic animated series lately. If you haven't already, run right now and check out
Arcane
Blue Eye Samurai
Scavengers Reign
Chainsaw Man
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Tear Along the Dotted Line
Love Death + Robots
Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai compete for the best animated series I've ever seen, of all time, and they're both ongoing. That's wild. What gorgeous animation. Scavengers Reign is a wonderful sci-fi series that's actually original, and I'm sad to say that's a rarity. It shouldn't be! I'll let you discover the rest. Just a reminder that Love Death + Robots is an anthology, and as usually this entails hits and misses. But the hits are SO good.
Other good series that are not groundbreaking or anything in terms of animation (which is generally on purpose: most of them aim to emulate a specific established style, and succeed), but they still get the job done, and are fun to watch:
Donnatello: turtle of utmost caution and concern to public safety

Totally forgot to post this!
Dear compatriot @gremlinscomics pointed out to me that Josh Brenner was in 'Love Death and Robots', then immediately after, I was assigned to animate a pre-existing character to an audio and... i mean, how could I not??
Its still (obviously) super rough, but we only had a couple days to complete it, and I hath been too busy with other projects to clean it up so, heres the sketchy lad ✨️

A 7 second hand drawn animation of Donatello from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles acting and lipsynced to an audio from Love Death and Robots:
(Offscreen voice) "You landed us in a minefied!"
(Donnie) "Oh barely! Besides, look at these mines; they're ancient! They probably won't even go off anymore"
(A nearby explosion sound)

After finishing LD+R I join the popular question: Would it be too much to ask to see a complete series of Sonnie's Edge, where that universe is explored and its characters are developed with the same quality of script, animation, plot and photography, at least, as the chapter? Please and thank you.
