The TVI Take

A girl navigates a post-apocalyptic surface world populated by mutant animals. Surprisingly complex themes, diplomacy over violence, understanding the other, found family.

Cognitive demands from the serialized narrative and moral complexity. Entertainment value is exceptional with a killer soundtrack. One of the most underrated animated shows of the 2020s.
