When a deep space freighter is damaged by a solar flare its surviving crew are stranded on a beautiful and unforgiving planet. They begin to learn the true nature of this planet as they try to survive long enough to escape or be rescued.

Finally finished Tales from the Loop... or, as I now call it: Melancholy - The Tales :cool:
Took me almost exactly a year to go through the 8 episodes - most episodes left me feeling worse than when I started watching. It's a beautiful show in many ways, but for that reason I can't rate it higher than 7/10... not sure I'll watch more if the show is renewed. Let's see...
If it was a 60 minute show I might have. But 12 shows at 30 minutes or less?
Sounds more like an old Dominoes Pizza add :)
I was not even moved by the trailer. I am glad you enjoyed it, but it is not my cup of tea.
Main reason for me, is the style of animation.
The style used to be a criteria for me, now I just give it a try and see if it works for me. I found out that the style isn't really relevant if the story(-telling) is great. :)
It is not really a criteria for me. Certain cartoons give me headaches. Like
South Park, early Simpsons etc. So I avoid them.

@inkblot It's not for everyone. Scavengers Reign is to anime, what Tales from the Loop is to live action TV. They are incredibly similar in style, subject, pacing, and mood. It's a contemplative story unlike your typical crunchyroll anime filled with fight scenes, like you're not going to see Rock Lee drop the weights, but if you stick with it, it might terrify, horrify, and gross you out.
A video game would be the best medium to expand this story and engage the right viewers, especially as the robot becoming humanized or planetized, so to speak, like you could go through levels that give you upgrades from the planet that teach you more about the planet...I'd play it, until it freaked the crap outta me, lolz.

I love nothing more, than to be intrigued about a show, that is already cancelled before I start watching it. No thank you.

Finished season 1/ the show. Kinda depressing at times, but it's a great show! I rate it 8.4/10.
In chatting with co-executive producers Sean Buckelew and James Merrill, we here at ComicBook.com were able to talk with them about the possibility of a sequel.
To start things off, we asked James if they could foresee a return to the universe of Scavengers Reign via a spin-off and/or sequel following the first season's arrival on MAX, "Oh absolutely. I do feel like we tried to tell a complete story, not a puzzle box that tries to lure people back. That being said, we do have some big ideas as to what could come next. I hope that we get to do it because we want to explore what comes next. We only saw a little bit of the planet."

@ellkay, LuC, Lighton Merry Christmas, glad you all checked it out. It's a highlight of 2023, for sure.
I watched the trailer for Sable, very similar artistic style, looks like a deep story as well, cool, I'll put it down as a maybe.

Oh yeah, https://next-episode.net/tales-from-the-loop was similar, but more depressing IIRC. :D

I'm not sad that that show ended, but I would really like more https://next-episode.net/scavengers-reign!

It's based on
Scavengers (2019)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TRzemJbUsw
which is only 8 minutes long. A few elements made it into the TV show, so you might not want to watch this before finishing the show.
And let's hope this becomes reality:
