I have zero issues with the nudity. The violence and gore are keeping me from watching most of these with my daughter unfortunately, which is a shame because she'd love the animation in most of these.

I don't care if Sonnie is the main character or some Dark Cyberpunk version of Ash fucking ketchem that's not destined to be a loser and is somewhat likable I want full blown Seasons in this universe.
I wish there was a survey I can fill out requesting this short becomes a full on series.
There's a few more I would like to see fleshed out.
I would like to see Shape-Shifters become a full movie.
The Secret Wars can do well as a mini series or movie.
I would love to see Good Hunting and Suits as a full blown multiple seasonal anime exclusive to Netflix.
Last is anything that expands what happened in the story of Beyond the Aquila Rift.
I enjoyed all of the shorts for what they are with the standouts being Sonnie's Edge by far followed by Suits, Beyond the Aquila Rift, and Good Hunting. I've never been so intrigued this much by shorts before.

Super impressed so far after finishing Aquila Rift. There's been such an ambarrassment of riches over the past 5 years when it comes to the variety of scifi.
Prospect released on vod last week and it's an excellent, high quality low budget sci fi movie. Spare plot, but great acting and amazing design.

My second favorite movie of the year so far. The world-building and world design was amazing. Textured, tangible, believably rugged and grounded, like a sci-fi western offshoot of Ron Cobb's aesthetic for Alien. Prospect does a lot with its budget.
Finished about half of them. Really enjoy it.
I hope they already went ahead and are working on LDR2.

People wanting more like Sonnies edge.
There an entire trilogy set in the same universe and a collection of short stories.
Peter F Hamiltons Nights Dawn series.

Feel like black mirror, but with machines. I love the skits, at first i thought it was continual series, turns out to be an anthologic episode
My favourite is The Witness and Shapeshifter. I also love Beyond Aquila Rift, but it is because the guy is so firing hottt

Just watched all of them in one go. Really enjoyed them, even ones that weren't as good story wise had something to hook me.
Also, whats the original story of the The Witness? Because the story really looks like the adaptation of Appointment in Samara only with a twist
Unlike pretty much every other movie, The Witness does not appear to an adaptation of a short story as none is mentioned in the credits. I think this makes a great deal of sense because there's not really any dialogue or traditional narrative present - it's more about conveying a certain experience to the viewer.
Bonus factoid - the director's designs for the woman in The Witness bares a similarity to his designs for Peni Park (Into The Spiderverse):

Wow, seriously? That explains the moment I saw Dicko I thought his design was lifted straight out of Dishonored.
No way! I thought it was rotoscope or some shit like that...
Still don't understand why people think nudity is only a product of someone trying to be edgy but gore and violence gets a pass.
Pretty much my sentiments from the first episode as well. Pretty juvenile. But I'll watch a few more to see if they might be different.
Edit: 3 Robots is juvenile, low hanging fruit humor with annoying voice actors. The only really interesting twist is in tbt last minute of the short.
The Witness has a really visually appealing art style and aesthetic and cool Twilight Zone twist, but the sex and nudity parts just seem exploitive for no reason to the story.
Suits was my favorite so far. Cool style, appealing characters and really intriguing premise.

Some of these were alright, but I was uncomfortable with how the show treated most of the women characters. :/
Just started the witness. Never seen anything like it visually.
Edit: this is what I envision games will look like next generation. Or at least, that's the kind of leap I want.

Well each episode is produced by completely different writers, directors, animators, studios and they aren't part of a connected story. Therefore your views on one episode have no bearing on the rest.
All that said, I do think there is an art to arranging a collection such as this and I don't think Sonnie's Edge is a great place to begin because the writing is crude and on-the-nose. They then follow it up Three Robots which is stuffed full of fairly vapid, surface-level humour. Not a great start.
Sonnie's Edge may not be the episode he saw first. They are in different order for different people for some reason.
Of the 18 episodes I only think it's 2 or 3 with this problem, though some have no women characters. Think it can come across worse than it really is depending on the order you watch the episodes.
I didn't really care for Sonnie's Edge myself.
It was gorgeous to be sure, but the writing just felt juvenile to me.

Everybody gets a randomized playlist since I got Aquilas rift first and sonnies edge third.
Some of the concepts were way more bizarre than I was expecting.
Sonnies edge was really cool however, and The witness is one of the most impressive CG animations I've ever seen.
Huh, that's interesting. Maybe Netflix doing it differently in different countries?
Edit: Random playlist huh? That's one way to deal with it.
You may not like the rest either. But I do think the first episode was the worst episode. Zima blue being the best.
Which is the one you watched? they are all different things and everyone gets something at random so based on what you saw some are worse and some are really good.
So Im not sure what theyre trying to say with the Aquila Rift ending.
Why did he move to the middle and his old chamber covered in biohazard?
I'm wondering if it's random or if there' just a few different orders. Seems like most get Sonnie's Eege or Rift first, here's the order it listed them for me
Beyond the Aquila Rift, The Secret War, Sonnie's Edge, Sucker of Souls, Three Robots, Ice Age, The Witness, Suits, When the Yogurt Took Over, Good Hunting, The Dump, Shape Shifters, Helping Hand, Fish Night, Lucky 13, Zima Blue, Blind Spot, Alternate Histories.

When the Yogurt Took Over

I'm happy I got Sonnie's Edge first because it got me hooked and interested in seeing how the rest plays out.

Haha this reminds me of how Space Dandy started off with some really divisive episodes before having more interesting stories.
Got the same order here in Scandinavia.
Just watched 'Three Robots'. This was better than 'Sonnie's Edge'. Funnier as well, better writing for the characters, and it looked visually stunning as well. Humor wasn't hilarious or new and was pretty surface-level yes, but these three robots sightseeing together was interesting.

1) Beyond the Aquila Rift
2) Helping Hand
3) Sonnie's Edge
4) Suits

Zima Blue sure as hell was interesting. I'm leaning towards not liking the core theme behind it but it still is an interesting premise.
