Awesome! No time like today to watch it all over again! 😋 I'm ~5x now, heh. So little hits all those marks, and it is such an incredibly rich setting, too.
Which is where, I feel, Scavengers Reign comes in: as a spiritual successor in what could easily be in-universe, and done with such exquisite skill, no less. Highly recommend, and I feel ya on the pickiness re: animated works. Its style alone could carry the series, but it's supported by a masterful story, a uniquely alien setting & mechanics, etc. Don't sleep on it. 🤘🏼
