* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: From lifelike, game console-esque graphics to highly stylized art styles reminiscent of various painters, everyone can admit the show is definitely visually appealing (and not just in reference to the {{Fanservice}}).

** "Good hunting" gets the entire mileage out of RobosexualsAreCreeps with just how plain creepy the Governor and his intercourse with Yan are.

** "Sonnie's Edge" treats itself dead-serious, despite being incredibly corny "[[FeministFantasy girl power]]" story, filled with nothing, but stock characters exchanging stock quips. Even the "edge" in the title ends up working against its intended tone.
** "The Drowned Giant" is an entire episode of ContemplateOurNavels, not helped by the fact that it's an adaptation of an unfilmable short story consisting entirely of PurpleProse inner monologue. The resulting {{Bathos}} is completely unintentional.

** A few shorts from the first season are particularly popular among tabletop game players, due to fitting into the lore of their game of choice. ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' fans got their treat with "Suits", "Lucky 13" and "Beyond the Aquila Rift" and "Swarm", while ''TabletopGame/DeltaGreen'' fans enjoyed "The Secret War" and "In Vaulted Halls Entombed", the last of which even features a creature which is a dead-ringer for Cthulhu.

** ''Bad Travelling'' was lovingly compared to ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' by its fanbase because of its similar art and character design, mood, and world-building elements. It ''also'' goes well with ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'' fandom, for overlapping with its gloomy, high-sea, 19th-century-but-not setting.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: A series of sci-fi animated shorts dealing with various high (and low) concepts of SpeculativeFiction, along with a hefty dose of MindScrew in them, all served in variety of forms and styles? Nah, it's that show with lots of gratuitously nude chicks. Taken to the extreme with ''[[Recap/LoveDeathAndRobotsTheWitness The Witness]]''.
* CompleteMonster: [[FatBastard The Governor]] in "[[Recap/LoveDeathAndRobotsGoodHunting Good Hunting]]" is a vile politician with [[{{Robosexual}} a penchant for machines]]. Unable to become aroused by regular human beings, the Governor decided to drug and capture Yan. Afterwards, he had several surgeons operate on Yan, cutting her body to pieces [[AndIMustScream all while she was still conscious]]. Once all of Yan's flesh was gone, the Governor had his surgeons turn her into an android, and promptly used Yan as his personal SexSlave.
* CriticalDissonance: Critics were more mixed to positive regarding the series (with a 77% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) citing a few issues with some of the stories and criticizing the apparent misogyny in some of the shorts. Audiences, however, loved it; to the point where it's on [=IMDb=]'s top 100 highest rated shows, ''despite'' [=IMDb=]'s internal scripts preventing hype from affecting their charts.

** "Lucky 13" has one of the grunts being turned into a liquid splat after being hit by high-caliber round, splashing everyone around. It's neither played for comedy nor over-the-top horror, it just ''is'', in a notably gore-free short.

** "Snow in the Desert" has Snow slowly regrowing his blown-away hand, which is out of proportion with rest of his body and moving weirdly, while also looking like constantly oozing something.

** "In Vaulted Halls Entombed" has on poor troop survive getting eaten to a pulp by parasites only to fall apart like melting ice cream with each step.

* WinBackTheCrowd: Volume 2 was quite divisive because, "Pop Squad" notwithstanding, the episodes were significantly LighterAndSofter than the first volume and [[SoOkayItsAverage not terribly memorable]]. Reception of the third Volume has been much better with the episodes more in line with the first especially with the fan favorite episodes "Bad Travelling" and "Jibaro".

** The show was [[DivorcedInstallment originally conceived]] as an adaptation of ''Magazine/HeavyMetal'' magazine, specifically a remake of the [[WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal 1981 feature film]], but it fell into DevelopmentHell for long enough that, by the time Creator/{{Netflix}} [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell pulled it out of such]], Creator/DavidFincher and Creator/TimMiller had lost the rights. Undeterred, they simply produced an original animated [[GenreAnthology sci-fi anthology]] series heavily inspired by the magazine.
** As a sci-fi anthology built around standalone stories that often feature {{twist ending}}s and commentary on the relationship between humans and advanced technology, it can also be seen as this to its Netflix stablemate ''Series/BlackMirror''.

** Volume 2 got this complaint as it only has 8 episodes and only two of them are 18 minutes long. Some however argue that the first volume took 5 years to be completed and they had to do the second volume during a pandemic.
