Fincher says they just wanted to make something cool.

Fincher 說他們只是想製作出很酷的東西。

Mission accomplished.

而他們確實成功了。

(This) Netfilx's new anthology series is the epitome of cool,

Netfilx 這部新獨立單元劇可以說是各種酷炫的縮影，

an ambitious, dazzling, (bleep) up fever dream that hops between genres and animation styles

像一個野心勃勃、令人眼花撩亂的噩夢跨足不同劇情流派、動畫風格，

to deliver an all-you-can-eat buffet of weirdness,

各式各樣怪誕的劇情任你挑選，

from sentient yogurt, to ghost fish, to an alternate history that gleefully reimagines the many ways Hitler could have died.

從有知覺的優格到幽靈魚，再到改變歷史、幽默地重現多種希特勒死法。

The shorts have no unified theme or message.

這些短劇沒有統一的主題或寓意。

Some are dark and nihilistic, others poetic and hopeful, while some are surreal or openly comedic.

有些很黑暗虛無，有的很有詩意、充滿希望，也有的是超現實或完全喜劇。

But most importantly, with the use of everything from traditional 2D animation to photo-real capture, no two shorts look the same.

但最重要的是，所有的動畫風格迥異，有從傳統的2D手繪到使用擬真動態捕捉，

no two shorts look the same.

所以沒有任何一集畫風是一樣的。

With Love, Death & Robots, Miller and Fincher were clearly eager to test the boundaries of the medium

透過愛死機器人， Miller 和 Fincher 顯然非常想測試媒體能接受的尺度到哪，

and create something that could never be found in a mainstream multiplex or an network television.

並創造出電影或網路電視所沒有的作品。

With buckets of gore, copious nudity, both male and female, and elaborate violence, this is storytelling turned up to 11.

無所不在的血腥場面、男女都有的裸露畫面、精心製作的暴力鏡頭，都讓劇情堆疊到極致。

Love, Death & Robots has a broad scope by design.

愛死機器人的設計很廣泛。

It aspires to explore interesting stories through science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comedy, with almost every animation style known to man.

幾乎使用了人們所知的所有動畫風格、透過科幻、幻想、恐怖和喜劇來探索有趣的故事

While there are some coincidentally recurring elements, most notably cats and boobs,

雖然有些元素巧合地被重複使用到，尤其是貓和胸部，

it would be interesting to see what a more cohesive, focused collection would look like.

如果能看到這部劇更劇情一致、更專注某些特點會很有趣。

Still, this is a smorgasbord of fascinating stories with extremely compelling visuals.

儘管如此，這部影集擁有非常精緻、厲害的特效、劇情也很引人入勝。

Love, Death & Robots is not immune to the issues that plague most anthologies.

多數獨立單元集都有的問題，愛死機器人並沒有免疫。

Some stories are more repetitive or derivative than others, but many of the worlds are so fascinating,

有些故事比較多重複性或缺乏獨創性，但它很多故事的世界觀都非常精采，

they'll inevitably leave you wanting more, as all good short fiction does.

讓你無法自拔地想要看更多，就跟每本好的短篇小說一樣。

This is one visual acid trip that's worth taking, even if your mileage may vary.

儘管每個人喜好可能不同，但這部影集是非常值得一看的。
