Each episode consists of a new story as well as a completely new animation style. This aspect is intriguing as I think it&rsquo;s more unique and difficult to create as they can&rsquo;t reuse characters and digital assets for multiple episodes, unlike a show like Family Guy that has been going on for over a decade. Each episode is actually created by different crews from many different countries. There are 26 episodes and thus 26 different teams working to create their own unique product. I&rsquo;m not sure exactly how long the episodes took to make but they are pretty short, usually under 20 minutes, so I think each episode was maybe a month or two in animation, after the script was finalized. I think a majority of the teams used an &ldquo;off-the-shelf&rdquo; software to create their episodes but also groups that had a more specific animation style might&rsquo;ve had to create and maybe adapt a software to work better on them. Each creator team has inspiration from their own background and experiences that really shine through when the episodes are put side by side. I don&rsquo;t think that the show is planning to go further but I&rsquo;m sure each team has been excited to make the episodes as they&rsquo;re short and can be really well thought out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/15-104\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/lovedeathrobots.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\"><figcaption>Episode from Love Death + Robots.
