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
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 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
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.

Huh! Never thought about it like that...damn

Robert valley
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.
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.
To extract some simple pleasure from the execution of a task well done. This episode was perfect.
Not just pleasure… But existential fulfillment.

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
From once we've come, shall we return
Still can't get over this episode
Just because its simple, doesnt mean it isnt meaningful. Glad you finally rediscovered your meaning Zima.
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
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
one of the very few examples of popular ai fi that ACTUALLY is a story about artificial sapience and not humans as robots
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
When you name the baby of Tron and Cyberpunk, Ikigai.
as soon as I heard Ugory I knew you were a man of culture. Edgerunners is my shit
HAPPY HOUSE IS SO BACK
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.
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.

I like pizza and would like to eat more of it.
zima blue, una apología al propósito
Artstyle is so tartakovsky.
i can recognize a passion pictures animation when i see one
Props to Alastair Reynolds, the author of the short story this is based on.
Excellent work Zima Blue 🥲🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
To this day some people say that he’s still cleaning that pool.
Return ....and back ...i want to be ......robot fish??
Ai wont overtake us. My roomba is already better than me at painting.
Dear HappyHaus what is thy song
Oh of course how could I forget, I knew I knew it, Its from cyberpunk Edgerunners, Urgory-Zurawie
NO WAY ZIMA BLUE
Man, I do a AMV with this and got striked.
What can I do?
What is the song name
2:08 bro fr looking like the 🗿
I thought it was “zigma blue”
Song? Please i need it
Look full.
I'm going home
Desmond Shoal

Urgory-Zurawie
@@ElongatedZee Maine’s death song…
Jones David Lewis Joseph Clark Elizabeth
3:03 how metal heads feel having to go into the office and act normal
Música espantosa
music ruined it
Love the animation but hate the agenda...
What is the agenda?
agenda of what? Why are the politics so important in this? This is a philosophical experience.
