I watched this on my PS3 and had to stop myself from pressing O to skip like 7 times.
Ignore the haters.
Lucky 13 is a entertaining and visually delectable short about a pilot and her connection to an aircraft with a deadly reputation. Good story build-up with a female POC in the lead and a rocking ending. What could you possibly dislike? Lucky 13 is god-tier Love, Death & Robots, if you ask me.

Today: Love, Death & Robots: Lucky 13
Hi everybody, this is the story about your faithful pilot and her/his ship in basically every shooter or RPG like "Mass Effect" or more fitting from the scenario, "Deus Ex". Sometimes you can talk with them or even get loyalty missions, sometimes they're just faceless puppets like in the "XCOM" series yet important parts in the gameplay and story because you couldn't move one bit without your ship. "Lucky 13" showed that these figures and above all the machines have in fact a soul, way better than for example LDR: Three Robots with actual talking and emphasizing robots. This ship, the 13, appears…
Poussey und Taystee sind zurück. Nur ist die eine jetzt eine Kampfpilotin der Zukunft und die andere ein Kampfflugzeug… der Zukunft. Präsentiert als Cutscene aus einem „Halo“-Spiel, das es nie gegeben hat. Mit schön designten Bildern und Perspektiven wie Kamerafahrten, die mal passend dick aufgetragen, mal schlichtweg mitreißend sind. Wenn Nr. 13 die Klippe in Zeitlupe runter fällt und dabei seine Täuschkörper abfeuert, geht mir halt einfach einer ab - schuldig. Aber diese kurze Militär-Fetisch-Geschichte und das Motion Capturing kriegen es tatsächlich hin, dass mich die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Maschine an Frau Wileys Freundschaft in „Orange Is The New Black“ erinnert hat. Oder sich wie die Anfangsphase in „Christine“ anfühlt. Nur eben mit der Ur-Ur-Ur-Ur-Enkelin von Chappy Sinclair und der wuchtigen, 138 Tonnen schweren, von diversen Projektilwaffen unterstützten D77-TC Pelican-Dropship-Schwester von Nr. 5. Werde ich mit Sicherheit noch ein paar Mal anwählen.
Raumschiff Nr. 13

"It's not a ship. It's a fucking coffin with wings."
A rookie pilot always gets the ship that no one else wants. This time around it's 'Lucky 13', a ship that lost two crews before she inherited it. A ship that survives without it's crew is rare, but one that dose it twice is almost impossible. She is about to find out the reason why.
Lucky 13 is the sixteenth entry in season one of Netflix's Love, Death, & Robots science fiction anthology series. The animation used for this episode is so photorealistic that I initially thought it was live actors. I was about two minutes in when I realized it was…
I guess Samira Wiley wasn't amenable to motion-capturing a passionate lesbian sex scene with 13-02313?
