Ranking Every Episode From Love, Death And Robots

6. The Witness

Lucky 13 Love Death Robots
Netflix

With no motion capture done whatsoever, The Witness is one of the most exhilaratingly animated shorts in the series. After witnessing a murder from across her apartment building, a woman flees through the streets of a noir style techno nightmare as the killer dogs her at every turn.

Without a doubt, the highlight here is the bold and bombastic art style that manages to be loud and aggressive fitting the tone of the short. The cat and mouse nature of the chase is well paced, managing to be both exciting and enthralling. At 12 minutes, The Witness does not overstay its welcome and it manages to hold your attention throughout the runtime.

The ending features both a clever and fun twist which allows for the short to end on a high note and not worry about underwhelming with the climax. Regardless, it is the striking animation that is the standout of The Witness.
