In the United States, animation tends to be shoved into a family-friendly, all-ages box. When a chance like this comes along, where I can finally stretch into what I want to do, as far as trying to approach stories in a completely full-spectrum way and be free - this is what I actually have always wanted to do.” But that’s been what it’s been mainly in the U.S., especially if you’re going for big-budget world-building stories. And so for me, animation is not supposed to be just a child’s medium. “My natural sensibility is very dark, much more adult animation,” Nelson explains. It might seem strange that the director of Kung Fu Panda 2 pivoted to helping manage a hardcore, edgy anthology, but Nelson tells us that moving into adult animation came completely naturally to her. One of those directors happened to be former DreamWorks director Jennifer Yuh Nelson ( Kung Fu Panda 2 and 3), who directed season 2’s LDR short “Pop Squad” and season 3’s “Kill Team Kill.” She also serves as an executive producer this season.

Miller (director of Deadpool and Terminator: Dark Fate) and co-creator David Fincher (director of Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac, and much more) launched the anthology series in 2019, picking a wide variety of directors and studios to work on the shorts. And unlike other staples of adult animation, like Big Mouth or Family Guy, Love, Death & Robots is a genre spectacle, adapting various science fiction and fantasy stories.Ĭo-creator Tim Miller says he hand-picks the stories from the vast collection of short-fiction anthologies on his Kindle. None of the shorts shy away from gritty, hardcore elements: blood and guts, nudity and sex, horror and horniess galore. It’s like nothing else in animation right now: Each episode tells a different, self-contained story ranging in tone from crass comedy to dark drama.
Netflix’s anthology series Love, Death & Robots returned for a third installment on May 20 in all its edgy, red-band glory.
