Review of Pantheon

Pantheon (2022–2023)
10/10
The Bestest Sci-fi Fantasy series
19 November 2022
I think this is one of the best-animated series I ever watched. The story is so grounded and also relatable that you can easily compare it with the real world. Literally, there is a character inspired from the real world (you will understand once you watch it) which is definitely a surprise for the Indian audience.

I mean the concept of the series is amazing but also the twist in the storyline is unpredictable and on top of that the animation style. I liked the animation style they picked for this type of story, kind of reminds me of Ben 10: Alien force. Which is best for adult-fantasy-fiction stories. And...Oh maaann, all the music used in this series adds another level of depth. My favorites are "Man or Monster" by Sam Tinnesz ft. Zayde Wolf, "Don't Dream It's Over" by The Rescue and GRMLN's "27 Kids".

Some scenes are crazy to imagine, like how you will visualize the internet world. To make it believable, they used a fantasy theme, I loved that. Definitely, makers took advantage/freedom of using 2D animation. Also the reference to the cult classic anime movie "Ghost in the shell"... was cool.

The best part of this series is the story. It tells about death, mortality, UI (way more powerful than AI), and cloning, it's just crazy. The story is based on short stories written by Ken Liu. After watching this series and the "Good Hunting" episode from Netflix's "Love Death Robot", I can say that he is a really great master of writing sci-fi with fantasy theme stories (my favorite genre). Also, I'm reading his novel "The Grace of Kings", right now I'm on 1/4 of this story and enjoying this as my bedtime reading.

I wish to see the story of this series expand by keeping the inspiration from real-world geopolitics. Also, I think the Pantheon series has its perfect ending... nothing to expect more but still, I can say that the climax was unbelievably great which makes it a bit emotional (touchy).

If you like watching stories based on AI, the internet, cyber (security/attack), and fantasy genre, then this is definitely a must-watch series for you... I believe you don't wanna miss this!

Where you can watch this? This is AMC+ original series but is also available on Prime Videos.
