I love that the androids seem to be at least partly biological, it's reminiscent of Akira / Evangelion and is one of my all time favourite things in creature design.

I'm hoping for eight seasons and a movie at this point. This is very much my jam. I really like animation where they use props and background assets this well to build context to the world.

Agreed.
Side note, but something about this pilot gave me similar vibes to Scavengers Reign, which I also really enjoyed. They're not super similar in story, but maybe it has something to do with the detailed and imaginative sci-fi settings, plus a more adult-oriented story and animation, and a pervasive sense of unease throughout the show.

It's interesting how this feels in part inspired by the "mascot horror" trend (Five Nights at Freddy's etc). There's a famous artificial (both as a machine and as an intentionally designed pseudo-celebrity persona) "mascot" character known to the characters in a way with some similarities to the way we the audience know the characters, and we follow the characters meeting and interacting with the mascot. I imagine the trope could be used well to explore aspects of our modern media environment.

Mascot with two big round circles on head....
Those labs towards the end looked exactly like the giant ball at EPCOT.
Disney-punk 100%.
The whole situation has big epcot vibes (In the original "Dictator Disney" direction).
Exciting to see a new Dana Terrace project.

It's a very different intended audience, but The Owl House is lovely and worth watching
Damn, very well polished for a pilot! Loved the animation and story and world-building. Thanks for sharing, OP! Hope they make the full season.
