I’ve just finished watching Pantheon, a US-made animated sci-fi series, and it was great. I’d highly recommend it if you’re into sci-fi. The writing was very good, it builds intelligently and respectfully on previous works in the genre and the animation’s visuals are great with some highlights that would not look out of place in a work by Satoshi Kon.

@jaseg watched it too, and I also thought it was great. it could have benefited from a couple more storywriters who know the basics of IT sec though.

@ammoniumperchlorate I disagree about the IT security. IT security and hacking were invoked like magic in that story, and with a realistic depiction instead, that story wouldn’t have worked. Real life hacking doesn’t often work, and is exceptionally time consuming.

@jaseg hm, that's true, but on the other hand, you'd also expect uploads to be a lot better at exploiting because they can self-modify to mentally handle the involved data structures a lot better and faster than bio humans. I kind of read the VR fight scenes as a visual metaphor for that.
