LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4: Synopsis
Alas, LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4 hasn’t even premiered yet at the time of this writing. Thus, I shall present to you the official synopsis for the anthology from Netflix. You can read that below:
“Dinosaur gladiators, messianic cats, string-puppet rock stars, it can only be Love, Death & Robots. The fourth volume, presented by Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) and David Fincher (Mindhunter, The Killer), sees Jennifer Yuh Nelson (Kung Fu Panda 2, Kill Team Kill) return as supervising director for ten startling shorts showcasing the series’ signature, award-winning style of bleeding-edge animation, horror, sci-fi and humor. Buckle up.”
LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4: The Good

Interestingly, it’s the anthology nature of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4 that’s the most interesting part about it. The highly different and wildly varying animation styles keeps the volume fresh and interesting with each new episode. You get everything from CGI animation to traditional hand-drawn animation, and from sci-fi to fantasy to WWII horror. Heck, one episode is even just mostly live-action with CGI in it. Admittedly, it may not quite qualify as animated, but it certainly keeps things fresh, and is even an interesting and darkly hilarious episode on top of that.
If I had to pick my top three episodes though, it would be, from worst to best: “The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur”, “For He Can Creep”, and “How Zeke Got Religion”. Now, that’s not to say that the rest of the volume wasn’t good. Far from it. It’s just that those episodes in particular are the my favorites for various reasons. Mostly because I like WWII horror, cats, and dinosaurs. That’s it. And those particular episodes are just amazing examples of them. If you like those genres/themes/whatever they are, then you might want to check out those episodes in particular as well.
LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4: The Bad

Ironically though, it’s the anthology nature of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Vol. 4 that might some people might find disagreeable. Yes, they’re all very interesting episodes. However, because they’re each so short, you sometimes wish that you could get longer versions of them to get more of the story. I still think what we got is interesting. It’s just that you wish there would be more of it, you know? Maybe they will do just that in a Vol. 5 of LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS, whenever that happens.
