Tim Miller and David Fincher are going out on a limb and taking Netflix animation to an NSFW level that is usually reserved for anime. to drive the point home, they aren’t holding anything back in the latest trailer for the release, which leans heavy on the robot love aspect of the title.
There’s no doubting that the new anthology is meant for adults, and it is great to see Netflix taking some creative risks with interesting content like this. I’m also looking forward to shaking my head and laughing at the parents who get angry after they let their 8-year-olds watch it because… hey, it’s just a cartoon, right?
Here’s what Tim Miller has to say about the project:
“Love, Death & Robots is my dream project, it combines my love of animation and amazing stories. Midnight movies, comics, books and magazines of fantastic fiction have inspired me for decades, but they were relegated to the fringe culture of geeks and nerds of which I was a part. I’m so fucking excited that the creative landscape has finally changed enough for adult-themed animation to become part of a larger cultural conversation.”
Tales of love, tales of heartbreak, tales of inter-dimensional fornication all converge in 18 NSFW animated stories. Sentient dairy products, werewolf soldiers, robots gone wild, garbage monsters, cyborg bounty hunters, alien spiders and blood-thirsty demons from hell – all converge in eighteen NSFW animated stories.
Presented by Tim Miller & David Fincher.
Love Death + Robots lands on Netflix March 15th.
