Im just now realizing the reason he made the murals so large is because compared to the walls of a pool, he was quite small, so they appeared large to him, hence his ever want to return to being smaller, so it would be easier to find that same feeling from being a small machine in a simple pool
Actually, he made murals so big that sprawled entire solar systems, all on the same shade of blue, because at some point, that color was his entire universe, there was nothing complicated or big or elevated, but to analyze its space and assure each and every tile was "spotless blue" He grew to the point of finding himself doing the same it was originally doing, and if that be, making life simpler was definitely, going back home
I just realized that the animation studio that made this "passion pictures" also helps make tron uprising by designing the art style and character design
The thing that is most beautiful about this story is that it's an allegory for humanity's search for meaning and the return to the Eternal Source as we once were.
I agree, but I would argue that it is not humanity as a whole, but rather human individuals who wander and explore the world, doing what they know, expanding their understanding of the world, but eventually returning to the origin as they know it, dissipating, shedding the extra. I suppose I'm thankful for the change of generations, with each individual seeking their own truth -- otherwise, if we humanity would also be in pursuit of such collective "universal" truth, we'd reach it and crumble just the same.
@@wfogapgfahfnog35 OP is right these stories are exceptionally rare. However there are a couple others I can think of. Bindsight by Peter Watts explores in depth how much machine (and alien intelligence for that matter) may differ from human intelligence. I've heard Crystal Society talks about these themes as well, but I've never read this one. Of course there's EX Machina which talks about how machines may pretend to think like humans to get what they want even though their true goals and motives would seem very alien to us.
I really enjoyed this episode. Through all of its existence, through the knowledge, wonders, and wisdom it found... in the search for the ultimate answer. The robot found it was a simple thing.
Chemoreceptors. He can probably detect the amount of chemical compounds in food based on data of what tastes well together and what doesn't taken from recipes and reviews and info from chefs. Or they straight up gave him human-like chemoreceptors
This short is one of my top three favorites. No blood or nudity or curse words, just a fascinating story about a legend that had a humble start and end. The final scene will always make me feel warm and fuzzy.
It is racist towards black people. Like, what exactly are you trying to say here, no matter how much a black man achieves his real job is to clean tiles his only purpose is to be a lowly worker? It is indeed racist. There is no pretentious artistic/autistic intent behind this, the ideal message here is something you find in kindergarten tales, writers here willingly chose to make the protagonist a black guy and actively made the punchline about cleaning pools, cmon at this point. This was an old racist joke like from the 1920s minstrel era stuff and now they are mocking people by retelling it in artistic way. Every jackass that pretends to see the "artistic deeper meaning" behind this, shares it as a niche subtle racial joke. Any black person that is okay with this is a confounded moron. If one consciously creates vague narratives that can be misunderstood at expense of actual human dignity then the justification of artistic liberty is null and void. "BuT bRo iTs pHiLoSoPhY, it bE sHiP oF tHeSeUs".
No. HE is a sentient pool cleaner who realized he was redundant, there are already humans being human. So it returned to its true, robotic purpose and experience loss of ego and self acceptance.
@GFXCXZ that's a beautiful and kind of bittersweet take on this... I thought this was an expression for how we humans spend our lives looking for a universal truth, and we only reach that truth when we die. And when we die, we return to what we were before we existed: nothing. Or in this guy's case, a pool cleaner. Humans, like the robot, spend their lives gaining knowledge, being changed by their experiences and other people, reinventing themselves, and searching for fulfillment. Just like the robot has. In the end of it all though, we are all to return to the nothing from which we came, the only thing left behind is others memories for you. Like the people in the audience at the end.
Life is a cycle with a beginning and an end. We were born of the earth and the ash and the dust. So must we return to the earth, ash and dust. It was the same for Zima. He began as something so simple, developed into someone incredible, only to return to what he began.
This episode surprised me deeply. I was expecting a pretentious word salad that would end up meaning nothing. However this episode seemed to be a rejection of all the complicated philosophy we tend to get wrapped up in. Instead it points out a subtle and self evident truth, the more we complicate our lives and the more we search for meaning, the further we drift from the simple things that make us truly happy.
This is probably the only series I can think of that trademarked a specific colour. Being a very specific shade of blue. 😒Though I bet some idiot is going to buy it as an NFT, because it happens with colours as well.

I am also now just realising this thanks to you
- What is my purpose?
- To clean swimming pools.
- Actually, this is not that bad.

thank god for that
@@jq6812 thank tou
THANK YOU
That explains why the artstyle reminded me of Tron Uprising so much

Out of everything in LDR, this episode is the one that stuck with me.
Same ❤
Same, I grew up with Passion studios work on tron Uprising so the themes of this episode speaking of witnessing something in the past hit me harder
Facts.
To extract some simple pleasure from the execution of a task well done. This episode was perfect.
Not just pleasure… But existential fulfillment.
Power washer simulator, home renovator and visera cleanup detail. Amd maybe mindcraft.
All simple yet satisfying
one of the very few examples of popular ai fi that ACTUALLY is a story about artificial sapience and not humans as robots
What other examples are there?

nahh i heard the cyberpunk music and got hit with memories
Don't even get me started 😢
i thought i was tweakin when i heard that 😭
Maines fall paired so well with Zimas journey
Literally though I got chills hearing it again. What I'd give to watch Edgerunners for the first time again.
This is the end of the line for me, choom
I really enjoyed this episode. Through all of its existence, through the knowledge, wonders, and wisdom it found... in the search for the ultimate answer. The robot found it was a simple thing.
Just because its simple, doesnt mean it isnt meaningful. Glad you finally rediscovered your meaning Zima.
Still can't get over this episode
2:02 woah he has taste buds?
Chemoreceptors. He can probably detect the amount of chemical compounds in food based on data of what tastes well together and what doesn't taken from recipes and reviews and info from chefs.
Or they straight up gave him human-like chemoreceptors
HAPPY HOUSE IS SO BACK
From once we've come, shall we return
In the future both people and robots will watch this and wonder: where did we truly begin, where are we now, were are we headed?

We are all simply sentient pool cleaners?

Or is it?
We didn't come from nothing nor we don't know what after death is like.
the concept of the loss of ego sounds like a double edged sword
Humans also have this desire but we can’t do this, reject humanity and return to primordial soup from where all life on earth started.
Sometimes... I don't want to be sentient...
no
@@scrubbydubby7986fr, sometimes having higher mental functions are too much.

Reject modernity, embrace swimmy-roomba.
The song is Zurawie by Ugory - heard in the Edgerunners anime
You used the song for MAINE!!!😭
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIINEEEEEEE
That's what I was remembering! The 6th episode of Edgerunners was a masterpiece.
i knew i recognized the song as soon as the video started😭
That Maine scene made me shed a tear lol
Living the simplistic of life is truly the best. Is it what was intented for us.
Love, Death and Robots was just something else. I love it so much!!
When you name the baby of Tron and Cyberpunk, Ikigai.
Simple beauty that’s life no matter how complex it is or how we Make it life is just simple and beautiful and that’s all it should be

bluie
a journey to finding one's root
This animation style and way the video is made reminded me of seers trailer from apex legends
That’s because they were both directed by Robert Valley.
I like pizza and would like to eat more of it.
Props to Alastair Reynolds, the author of the short story this is based on.
Dear HappyHaus what is thy song
Oh of course how could I forget, I knew I knew it, Its from cyberpunk Edgerunners, Urgory-Zurawie
To this day some people say that he’s still cleaning that pool.
This is probably the only series I can think of that trademarked a specific colour. Being a very specific shade of blue.
😒Though I bet some idiot is going to buy it as an NFT, because it happens with colours as well.
as soon as I heard Ugory I knew you were a man of culture. Edgerunners is my shit
i can recognize a passion pictures animation when i see one
zima blue, una apología al propósito
Humans: what’s my purpose?
God, science, fiction: to survive and reproduce.
Humans: And after that?
God, science and fiction: …
Bro definitely wore Air Force One’s in all black.
return to Monke, return to Zima Blue
Man, I do a AMV with this and got striked.
What can I do?
What is the song name
Ai wont overtake us. My roomba is already better than me at painting.
Artstyle is so tartakovsky.
This guy gets it.
It's Robert Valley. Who's pretty distinctive on his own.
Started in water, ended in water
Excellent work Zima Blue 🥲🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
ugh god i love love death and robots so goddamn much
when is the 4th season coming out, man
What is the song in this?
"Zima is coming"
(c) John Sneg
Sometimes people see you as an android, when really deep down you're just a little guy. And what's wrong with that?
What song do they play in this?
Song? Please i need it
the character physic build
Return ....and back ...i want to be ......robot fish??

Fun fact: Zima means cold or can also mean winter in Czech c:
el marco
We are that which we were
Name of the song??
Urgory-Zurawie
@@ElongatedZee Maine’s death song…

NO WAY ZIMA BLUE
