Sovereign’s Rein

On Netflix

No one else watching this?
One if the problems with the alien franchise is how fixated it is on one kind of alien. Sovereign's rein takes the working class space farer in a survival situation up against an entirely alien world. Part Miyazaki, part möbius, part brink, all brilliant.

Highly recommended.

Scavenger's Reign?

Balls. Yes. Scavengers rein. That one.

It's amazing. Sucks more than a little that HBO didn't want to go on with it but it's great that more people are getting to see it now.

I've watched a few and I'm enjoying it. I like the way they've figured out a truly alien ecology. And they don't hold back! The Hollow alien is disturbing, with its lack of expression and ruthless exploitation of Kamen. Looks a bit like No-face in Spirited Away.

Heavy nods to Miyazaki as you say - Nausicaa especially.

Soundtrack's familiar. Interstellar maybe?

Just watched the trailer for this, looks very interesting. Normally don't watch much animated series but will give this one a go certainly.
