Scavengers Reign (2023)

[delphi]

Show Title: Scavengers Reign
Audience Rating: TV-MA (I think?)
Warnings: All the science fiction xenobiological body horror
Length of Episodes: 23-27 minutes
Length of Series: 12 episodes
Why you recommend it: Scavengers Reign is a haunting, vivid, absolutely beautiful animated series about the survivors of an accident in space that leaves a handful of crewmembers from an interstellar cargo ship marooned on an alien planet whose strange flora and fauna connects differently with each of them. It's visually inventive in a way that had my eyes glued to the screen every second, and every episode had me thinking about what it means to be human and what it means to be part of an ecosystem.

Here's a link to the trailer and official key art from one of the creators.
