We are in the week of Love, Death and Robots, the science fiction animated series that millions of people fall in love with. Original ideas, very short chapters that explore little to unleash the imagination, and the exquisite artistry of each episode have been key to its international success.
For this premiere, a lot of people these days wondered out loud: What animated movies and TV shows explore the same universes as the original Netflix series? Fortunately, the answer is many. Others have already gone to the ends of the universe to show sci-fi stories.
Today, we want to bring you the works that carry us to the future for outlaws, bounty hunters, laser guns and friendly adventures. Because, in the end, No matter how bad things get and how robots rule the world, it’s all about the power of friendship.
If you dye gray hair, as in our case, the safest thing is that what we bring to you today is familiar to you. If you’re young, very young, you’ll recognize them because your older cousins, even your parents, are talking about them. Some are responsible for presenting generations’ fondness for science fiction.

Titan AE (2000) was hugely popular from its premiere, despite Disney’s domination of the animation world with an iron fist. This work under the umbrella of 20th Century Fox brought a truly valuable space adventure story. Great fun to watch with kids (7+ if possible).

cowboy doll
The action places us in 2071, when bounty hunters, with their entire arsenal of space, are back in fashion in the world. The characters Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and Ein travel aboard a ship called the Bebop in search of space criminals.
This Japanese original television series was critically acclaimed in 1998, the year it premiered. After its publication, it became a cult work. Also, since it was only produced for one season, that unique and special aura has accompanied it all these years…or so it seemed.
Why are we saying this? Because they tried to resurrect it with a live-action series on Netflix this year, and the crap was epic.. So much so that the series was canceled a few days after its premiere. It looks like productions related to Cowboy Bebop will only be able to shoot for one season. It’s part of the magic.
The series is available on Netflix and is much more recommended than its counterparts with real actors. If you like sci-fi stories with bounty hunters, you’ll enjoy this one a lot. If you wear it anyway, it will be like traveling back to a time that was always better.

It might sound like there’s a new live-action movie about it, and you won’t be wrong. In 2017, the great Scarlett Johansson donned the cyborg skin of Motoko to play one of her most interesting roles to date. It’s her performance that saves the movie.
