What is Eden Originals?
Eden Originals is an animated short-film anthology produced in-house by Eden Makers, a Prague-based AI film and advertising studio. Season One is 12 standalone episodes of 9–15 minutes, premiered July 23, 2026, released free on YouTube in English and Czech.
How is it similar to Love, Death & Robots and Secret Level?
All three are anthologies: every episode is a self-contained story with its own director, tone and visual style, mostly science fiction, made for adults, and short enough to watch in one sitting. Eden Originals keeps that format and adds one connective tissue across the season — a shared 'bio-digital grammar' about the moment machines start breathing.
How is it different?
Love, Death & Robots is a Netflix production made by studios worldwide, and Secret Level is an Amazon Prime Video series built around existing game franchises. Eden Originals is independent, original, free to watch, and produced by a single small studio using an AI-assisted pipeline — which is why an episode takes weeks rather than years and a fraction of a conventional animation budget.
Where can I watch Eden Originals?
Free on YouTube. No subscription, no region lock. New episodes arrive every two to three weeks; streaming partners are still to be confirmed.
Is it AI-generated?
Eden Makers works under the motto "DIRECTED. NOT GENERATED." Story, direction, editing, sound and art direction are human decisions; AI tools sit inside the animation and VFX pipeline the way a render engine does.
