Frieren really got me. It can be a bit too much in a couple of episodes, it's anime, but it's great. If you haven't watched, Avatar the last airbender is really a must. Incredible show. Someone mentioned Bojack Horseman, which I concur, but maybe a show for young adults. I was obsessed with Serial Experiments Lain as a teenager, but maybe it's too dated now.

if you want another trippy show that IS drawn over real footage check out Undone, which was an amazon show.

That is a WILD looking show, wow

Have you seen 'Knights of Guinevere'? Same creator as owl house. Incredibly well done. Just 1 episode out currently but it was recently greenlit for a full season. Free to watch on youtube

anyone can recommend something with the vibe of scavengers reign ... sci fi, no traditional story arc...

Gandahar is an old animated movie but it is what Svenger's Reign reminded me of.

Mighty Nein and Scavenger's Reign are defo two shows I go above and beyond to pirate, and could even justify a direct donation to the creators. Mighty Nein is set in the same universe as Vox Machina and uses the same cast of voice actors, to boot.

Another ones I really like the 2D animation style are X-Men '97, which basically uses a cleaned-up version of the style of the '90s Spider-Man animated series before they went to 3D backgrounds; and Wakfu tho this one does more notorious mixing with other animation styles. There's also timeless classics of 2D animation, such as Samurai Jack.

Infinity train. I can’t remember if it’s still available to steam or you have to sail for it, but it’s worth it either way.

It has to be sailed for. It got so bad with the distributors, that the creator actually officially supported the idea of pirating it.

Love, Sex, and Robots is that the porn parody of Love, Death, and Robots? ;-P

Hah! Probably.

You do have the correct title though :D

Common Side Effects was great. One day I decided to check out an episode or two, and ended up watching the entire season by accident. Scavengers Reign also rules.

OP first off Thank you for turning me on to pantheon because I did not get the memo this shit is phenomenal. Idk if it belongs on this list quite since it's a movie and not a series, but a lot of folks have not seen "Mars Express" and it was also a really good animated scifi. Has that detective noir expanse/ghost in the shell vibe.

Mars Express is great. Definitely a good recommendation.

Ah yea, I remember that now. If there was ever an ethical justification for piracy, Infinity Train is it. Also made me hate a man who I’d never heard of before, one David Zaslav
