The last time Netflix released a trailer for the upcoming “Love Death & Robots,” the footage was a scattershot, mind-bending blur, with just random images flying into your eyeballs at a breakneck pace. That was only a couple of weeks ago. Now, the streaming service is back with another look at the series, and finally, we’re getting a better look at the animated dystopian sexual nightmare that filmmakers David Fincher and Tim Miller have cooked up.
In the new trailer, the emphasis is clearly on the “love” part of “Love Death & Robots.” Trust us when we say that this footage is NSFW. There is sex aplenty in the new footage, with the promised mixture of various types of animation to bring these stories to life. There’s photorealistic CGI, as well as 2D and 3D animation. All of which give each segment its own unique look and feel.

And it’s obvious that Miller and Fincher have very little interest in coddling their viewers. While we still don’t have a really great idea of what we can expect, it’s clear from the footage that has been shared that Netflix has perhaps its first high-profile adult animated series on its hands that has no problem with stretching the limits of the genre.
I mean, what else would you expect from folks like Miller and Fincher? All we know is that “Love Death & Robots” can’t come out soon enough, and the March 15 release date feels like an eternity away.
Here’s the series’ synopsis:
The full roster of stories will cover a variety of adult topics including racism, government, war, free will, and human nature. The anthology collection spans the science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy genres and each short has a unique animation style: from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI. The creators were assembled for a global calling for best in class animators from all over the world including artists from France, Korea, Hungary, Canada, and the US among others. The series draws inspiration from the eclectic and provocative comic book material from the 1970s that influenced both Miller’s and Fincher’s formative interests in storytelling.
