LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS Season 3 EVERY Episode Ranked

What was your favourite episode in Season 3? And does it top any episode in Volume 1or 2? Zima Blue and Beyond The Aquila Rift are two tough ones to beat....

Not sure I agree with you understanding of Jibaro. I think the soldiers are the invaders, driven by greed and glorified by their religion. They are punished, for their sins. Deaf solder was greedy, they first thing he noticed and pocketed is a golden scale. When he was unaffected, it intrigued the siren, she might also think/believe he is pure of heart, as he was unaffected by her song. He tricked her and robbed her.

Torrin was not the captain. He was likely the first mate or some other secondary position. The captain was eaten..which is why he had to get the gun key from the Thanopod.

I really liked volume 3! I hate that some people are giving the less funded films hard critcism. Remember guys that these studios worked so hard on their projects and every shortfilm is a proof of both skill, dedication. They are not necessarily here trying to invent the wheel. I hope Love Death + Robots gets many more seasons so we are able to enjoy diverse story telling and animation.

I personally loved the mini one. Was distinctly unique, was amusing and didn't overstay its welcome. Episodes like this nicely punctuate the heavier episodes. Deserved higher than 9th in my opinion.

My favorite was a Bad Traveling. It was so intriguing and terrifying, had me glued from start to finish with a brilliant ending . I actually really liked Mason’s Rats , it was funny and sympathetic. I liked how it ended . Overall a great season, probably my favorite one

I took "night of the mini dead" very differently than you did. To me it is the most effective visualization of how much we humans overestimate our own importance that I have ever seen.

The very pulse of the machine hooked me in such a weird way! I found the episode amazing and mesmerizing!

I like Bad Travelling. The decisions the captain has to do ☠️ I like Mason’s Rats and Jibaro for sure, such a visual masterpiece

To tell you the truth, I interpreted Jibaro a little differently. The soldier "Jibaro" gets lost to his group at the beginning and his fellow soldier has to bring him back, which suggested to me that he was in a place he didn't know. His outfit is also kinda reminiscent of the Spanish conquistadors who committed atrocities against the indigenous people in South America for gold. The Golden Siren only begins to sing after Jibaro takes one of the golden scales from her lake and hides it from his fellow warriors. I think her song was meant for Jibaro because he 'robbed' her, not the other men. But in the end they all die. When she fails to drown Jibaro, she becomes intrigued and tries to seduce him. But Jibaro only has eyes for the gold that the Golden Siren is wearing. Before they kiss, he rips another Scale from her and it's clear to see that the gold is fused to her skin as blood flows from the spot where it was ripped. Therefore it would be difficult to take it all. The moment they kiss together and Jibaro is cut by her lips and tongue, he realizes that she is capable of hurting him despite his deafness and decides to kill her. He then strips her body of all its gold, the only thing of value to him, and throws her remains into the river. As such, blood is the bearer of life and death, so it is symbolic that the Golden Siren will be resurrected and Jibaro will be healed by it. In the final scene, I noticed that when Jibaro sinks to the bottom, you can't see his face. It's like he's just one of many. While the Golden Siren shows human emotion for the first time in the final minutes. (Until then her face was hidden behind a golden mask) When she realizes what has happened, her first reaction is to cover herself as if she was naked. She can't even 'sing' in the first two attempts, she sounds like a broken woman. She only manages to perform one dance figure before giving up on any other attempts at dancing and instead just starts screaming. For me, Jibaro is a story about greed while being also a metaphor for rape, where a woman is reduced to a sexual object and denied any humanity.

#1: Bad Travelling #2: Jibaro #3: Don't have sex in graveyards

Jibaro and Bad Travelling are both tied for top place for me, for entirely different reasons. Bad Travelling is a grim gory Lovecraftian horror tale on the high seas that could easily be a feature-length movie. Jibaro is peak Love Death + Robots in that it's abstract, steeped in metaphor, visually stunning, and pure art.

This was waaay better than volume 2

I agree with almost all the ranking, the only think I would have changed would be 'the very pulse of the machine', I'd put that higher. I'm not sure what it was, but it had me mesmerised the whole way through! Anyways, great list! 😁

Agree that Bad Traveling was the best one. It had me the most engaged and sitting at the edge of my seat.

Im only a few episodes in but Season 3 feels like such an improvement over Season 2. Masons Rats and Kill Team Kill have been pretty good. Is Jibaro done by the same Studio who did The Witness in season 1? They feel just long enough to fully take advantage of the concepts they are exploring. Plus an improvement on the endings as opposed to feeling as if they've been cut off earlier then usual.

To me, Bad Travelling is one of those Stories that really nails the coffin as a Hit. It's Dark, Scary, suspenseful and Thrilling. Taking segments from the Lovecraftian element, it really makes it feel like a Lovecraftian story. Troy Baker NAILED Torrins character. An Anti-Hero Protagonist who is willing to do anything to save innocent lives from peral by doing the deeds that others may see Cold-Blooded and Horrifying. But if it meant the safety of Phaiden Island and its people, it must be done. This made me feel horror unlike anything I have ever watched. No jumpscares or cue-ups to moments that make you shiver, just the atmosphere, plot and twists. And David Fincher, the director of MANY masterpieces (Fight Club, Se7en, and the game) was directing this, which made this episode 10 times better than it usually was. A 100/10 Episode. Great Writing, Direction, Voice Acting, Animation and visuals.

Man.. kill team kill was hilarious lol.. really underrated episode, i can feel the incredible passion behind it.. its like bunch of kids in 90s who's in middle school work on it. Love it.

Bad Traveling was so good, the artstyle was my favorite and was everything I've ever wanted explored in the animation medium. It had supernatural aspects but managed to stay grounded, top notch voice acting and animation. 100/10

My favorite was The Swarm, followed by Jibaro. In Vaulted Halls Entombed wouldve been really great if it expanded on the origin and background of the monster and monsters.
