So I will be honest, I haven’t seen any episodes of Love Death + Robots on Netflix. To be honest, I have not seen much animation, mostly because Mike and I stick to other genres. On my own, I admittedly have watched a plethora of animations, including anime. The genre of animations is a rather complex one; while they may not be held back by casting actors, animations rely on much more, and they can cost a whole lot more too, as animations are essentially a bunch of visual effects. That’s also why animations can vary drastically in their style; they inherit the sweat, blood, and soul of the animators and everyone involved in the production of an animation.
So now to Love Death + Robots, Season 4. Mike and I went to Los Angeles for the opportunity to see some special screenings, and LD+R4 was one of them. We saw most of the episodes that comprise season 4′ I’m sure the episodes they selected for the special screening did a fantastic job of showcasing a variety of animations that look completely different from one another and touch on completely different topics and stories. The first one we saw was 400 Boys. Boy, that one was a bit tough to follow; a gang or gangs in an apocalyptic future can use their minds in unison to move objects and have to combat giant baby things that threaten to take their turf. In reality, the theme of 400 Boys was straight forward: The working class or average people, working together, can overcome the elite class, which are literally portrayed as giant, powerful babies.
