Recently finished watching Scavengers Reign, which I'd recommend as a well-crafted animation with some of the best xenecology I've seen in sci-fi:

I also spotted themes of "Weird Ecology" throughout, which I've written a bit about in a new blogpost:

Alas it's already been cancelled by Max, but Netflix is picking it up from May 31st (tomorrow!) which'll make it easier to access outside the US.
