Inspirational Viewing

[Punktaku]

the episodes are short and widely varied, both in subject matter and animation style. it’s too easy to get sucked into “ok, just one more and then sleep!”

 

[Punktaku]

Good to hear! I had never heard about it till yesterday! Netflix is certainly delivering lots of stuff that appeals to me lately!

have you checked out Anon or Mute yet?

 

[Draconic]

Noooo what are they?

 

[Punktaku]

They're both films with that cyberpunk feel. Anon has a murder committed by an anonymous assassin, which should be impossible thanks to cyber eyes. Mute is about an Amish bartender (the mute) in a sprawl who gets mixed up with a criminal element.

 

[Draconic]

ooooh.. You had me at cyberpunk!

[Ned Noodle]

I wholeheartedly endorse this statement.

Finally got to see Alita: Battle Angel. Totally recommend it. And that setting is Awesomely done. my main complaint is it was too short. better be a sequel

I've been watching this on a loop for a few days.

I was not sure it would qualify as "inspirational viewing" for Necromunda, but then I realized:

• It's a remake of a game from the late 90s made in the late new 10s, and said game is widely acknowledged as a cornerstone of its genre
• It's set in a dystopian cyberpunk city, sitting in the middle of a polluted desert
• The ruler of said city is a rich bastard who lives at the top of the tallest (and centermost) building
• The protagonists are a gang of morally dubious activists/mercenaries who live in the lowest level of the city, whose hideout is the local watering hole, and who use both firearms and melee weapons
• One of them is a bulky manly man with a bionic arm, and another is a fierce warrior woman with a predilection for close combat
• They fight against corrupt militia, mutant beasts and the occasional mechanical threat
• Most of this fighting takes place in sewers/power plants/factories/tunnels/etc.

So yeah, I'd say it qualifies.
Of course, I'm talking about:

*Checks calendar* Hmm, not April 1st...

Still, I'll believe it when I see it! TV show development can go sideways a LOT of different ways...

 

[Sethmerlin666]

Of all the material it's probably the best to adapt, it could actually work....

 

[HorribleHedgehog]

I'm trying to keep my expectations to a minimum. 40k aesthetics and TV budget does not sound like a good combo.

 

[el_ojo_y_la_sombra]

I did not expect that...
sounds promising and scary at the same time.

But eisenhorn is actually one of the best stories to adapt for a broader public. Can show the 40k setting in an story that is basically classic detective work.

 

[Space Truckin]

Could see this on Netflix easily. Could it be possible we get this AND the upcoming Megacity One tv series?

 

[spafe]

For me it's between guants ghosts and eisenhorn as the best two stories for adaption into a tv series. So very very happy with this... really hoping its a netflix, prime, standard channel or iplayer show, basically anything but sky and I will be watching it!
