For the first three volumes, the one everyone talked about was Jibaro for its style and approach. For me the best one was Bad Traveling, no contest. Both third volume episodes. Also a monologue at the end of Pop Squad lives rent free in my head, from the second volume.
Fourth volume however starts with a red hot chilli peppers music video. I couldn’t believe that nothing else happened and they made me listen to a fucking red hot chilli peppers song for no reason that i shut it off and still haven’t seen the test. I’m still angry about it.

I really liked the first season, and they had a lot of episodes in that one. I feel like that was the most explicit season because they were really trying to sell the whole Love, Death, and Robots angles. Kind of wished they didn’t temper that down with the rest of the seasons.
The second season was kinda meh, but there were some good ones here and there (Pop Squad, Snow in the Desert). I was disappointed at how few episodes there were. I still plan on doing a video on those two episodes, though.
Third season seemed to ramp back up with good episodes again (Bad Travelling, The Very Pulse of the Machine, Swarm, Jibaro).
All of the studios shifted to the Secret Levels (on Amazon) for video game related animation stories, and most of those were really good. Warhammer episode was fucking epic.
LD+R S4 isn’t bad so far. Spider Rose and 400 Boys were pretty good. I had to do a double-take when I recognized the Investor race in Spider Rose, which was another Bruce Sterling short story in the Schismatrix universe (same one as Swarm), and they actually reference the Shaper/Mechanist factions this time.
I think it needed more episodes, though. It feels like S2 again, and they are wasting their time on these goofy episodes (the mini claymation stuff, anything related to Three Robots). Golgotha felt like cheating, considering most of it was real acting and light on animation. And that Red Hot Chili Peppers music video was cringe AF.
