The main girl looks absolutely nothing like how she sounds
Nice NERV sticker on her laptop.
Been curious about this one for a while, since it’s a Craig Silverstein show, based on Ken Liu short stories and [it got a two-season (eight episodes each) order](https://www.thewrap.com/amc-2-season-series-order-pantheon-first-animated-drama/). From [the AMC+ press release](https://www.amcnetworks.com/press-releases/amc-animated-sci-fi-drama-pantheon-streams-september-1-daniel-dae-kim-rosemarie-dewitt-paul-dano-and-more/):
>AMC Networks’ first traditionally animated series, *Pantheon*, premieres Thursday, September 1 with weekly episodes on AMC+. A sci-fi drama based on a collection of short stories by award-winning author Ken Liu, this thrilling speculative is centered on a bullied teen (Katie Chang) who receives mysterious help from someone online: a stranger soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David (Daniel Dae Kim), whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being – an “Uploaded Intelligence” or “UI” – but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war. The series writer, creator, showrunner and executive producer is Craig Silverstein (TURN: Washington’s Spies, Nikita, Terra Nova), and animation is by Titmouse (Motorcity, Big Mouth, Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head). Pantheon explores the outer limits of what we and our technology are capable of creating and destroying, focusing on the “uploading” of human consciousness into the cloud. It explores the theme of technology through the lens of family, focusing on both the people whose brains have been digitally uploaded, and the loved ones they’ve left behind. Ultimately, Pantheon challenges our understanding of what it means to be human.

Looks surprisingly good. Shame it’s on AMC+, but whatever.
Present Day. Present Time.
The animation is nice, the plot looks fun, but anyone else real distracting by the mics the voice actors are using? They sound like those old ones that made everything sound far away.
In the initial announcement of the show, it was billed as a “primetime drama” that would air on AMC. Are we to assume that this is still the case, and it will air on AMC as well as AMC+? I would greatly hope for that to be true, if only due to the fact I don’t want to buy another streaming service.

The audio version is there too.
