For context, I'm not a hater of the current popular ones like tadc, Lackadaisy, planetronika, Murder Drones, etc; but I feel like they tend to share a much more goofy/fun tone, even though some of the plotlines can be serious. I guess the best way to describe it would be by saying these are Shounen, while I'm looking for seinen (not a perfect analogy, but I feel it gets the point across). The one that I ended up quite liking was "Knights of Guinevere" as I felt like there were more quiet moments that allowed the impactful scenes to hit harder. I also thought I'd like Murder Drones a lot more since I was already a Liam Vickers fan, but the show felt sorta insincere with it's overuse of bathos. Even though it's supposed to be a love letter to 2000s edginess and music, it never takes itself seriously, even in scenes that are meant to be impactful; it ends up feeling like it's afraid of coming of as cringe, so it makes a joke about itself, before others will, which in turn ruins the mood of a lot of scenes.

I know I sound pretentious but I promise i'm not. I just feel like I'm not the target audience for the ones that have gained popularity, yet I still want to find and support indie projects.

Basically I'd like to find something that's less overtly self aware and takes a more serious look to its own world. A good example would be the short Minecraft mini animations that "Marcus Yu" makes. Also doesn't have to be horror (Knights of Guinevere for example isn't horror), just you know a different vibe than the usual stuff.

Edit: I decided to actually finish tadc and it actually surprised me! I didn't think it was bad beforehand, and I already knew it got a bit more serious as it went along, but the aesthetic and first episode weren't really my thing when I first checked it out. However as the show went along the character writing was enough to keep me hooked until the more Sci-fi elements (my fav genre) started to become more prevalent. The humor was also surprisingly good; some of it was just the meta/self referential humor I'm not a very big fan of, but the rest of it was usually pretty endearing. While I'm not really looking for another show with a similar art style, nor humor I am super glad I gave this one a chance.

I know a lot of people like him and I do too, but if he was sent on a covert clean-up mission, where the goal was to just get rid of the invasion, evidence, and threat, then why do it so slowly? He took his time to kill and skin some random guy, cuz he saw wolf (he even put him on a tree, like isnt your job to leave no trace?), but that should be the last of his problems considering that he now knows there are multiple xenos loose. Also, instead of taking other yautjas with him, he goes alone, which I don't know what he was trying to accomplish like that. Finally, half of the time his strategy is waiting for the xenos to come to him, even tho he knows they are fast spreading. This guy gets distracted way too easily for someone who's claimed as the best of the best, his strategies to cover up evidence are slow and tedious and going alone was probably the dumbest thing he could have done.

Surprisingly enough, I still quite like the movie and it's ideas, I just wish wolf had a small squad with him, cuz his whole solitary thing was never going to work. I just feel like he gets glazed for his design rank, and fight scenes (Wich are admittedly really cool)

Any tonally serious indie shows? Also small rant

Wolf is kind of a bum
