Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of good animated sci-fi comedy, but I recently watched Scavengers Reign and I’m looking for other more adult sci-fi animated shows.

    Pantheon is awesome. It’s based on Ken Liu’s work who’s a pretty great scifi/fantasy author.

    Mars Express is a french movie from last year that’s sort of like a film noir scifi. I’ve heard the english dub is quite good if you don’t want to deal with subtitles for some reason.

    Secret Level and Love, Death & Robots are anthologies of mostly scifi stories.

    The Star Wars animated works are all solid if you’re interested in more scifantasy.

    Common Side Effects is very Scavenger’s Reign-esque in art style and animation. Which makes sense considering many of the same artists worked on both. It’s not really scifi in the same level though I still would recommend checking it out.

    There’s also a lot of really good high concept Scifi anime.

      Pantheon was interesting, but I am forever scarred by “Monotheism, the original killer app”. That line is quite possibly the stupidest fucking line I’ve seen in TV. Even with context, it makes like no sense. Its just so fucking stupid. Haven’t watched season 2 tho lol

        Haha, yeah that is ridiculous. To be fair, it’s said by someone who’s basically a Silicon Valley CEO who’s like a zealot. I don’t think it’s meant to be taken fully seriously.
