H
Plus looks like an A+
Web series.
Hey Otakus and Geeks fans, Sean (True Comic Fan)
here, on 7/16 I was given the opportunity to see a screening of the upcoming
web series called H Plus: The Digital Series. Before I get into my review, I
want to give you the Synopsis of the series:
H+:
The Digital Series takes viewers on a journey into an apocalyptic future where
technology has begun to spiral out of control.... a future where 33% of the
world’s population has retired its cell phones and laptops in favor of a
stunning new device – an implanted computer system called H+. This tiny tool
allows the user's own mind and nervous system to be connected to the Internet
24 hours a day.
But something else is coming... something dark and vicious... and within seconds, billions of people will be dead... opening the door to radical changes in the political and social landscape of the planet -- prompting survivors to make sense of what went wrong.

A
futuristic online series, where the human race is hardwired to the Internet, is
coming this summer. From producer Bryan Singer ("The Usual
Suspects” / "X-Men: First Class"), the highly anticipated live-action
web series “H+ The Digital Series” will make its debut August 8 on
YouTube. Directed by Stewart Hendler (“Sorority Row”), and
starring an acclaimed international cast that includes
Alexis Denisof (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”),
Amir Arison (“Law & Order: SVU) and David Clayton Rogers
(“Jane By Design”), “H+ The Digital Series” takes viewers on an episodic,
apocalyptic journey where technology has gone horrifically wrong.
Review
I
watched two playlists containing twenty webisodes and they were AMAZING! I was
so immersed in the story that when it was over, I hadn’t realized I just
watched twenty webisodes (thanks to info from the discussion panel). Each
episode gives you the story from the perspective of different characters trying
to survive and get answers to what cause the incident.
H+
reminds me of one of my favorite anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone
Complex. Combining mystery, technology, and drama to create a story that will
have viewers wondering what will happen next and how it will all end. This is a
series I recommend everyone should check out and something we will be
discussing at the water cooler.
Web Features
H+
will have some cool web feature that will give the viewer a unique experience.
When you subscribe to H+ the digital series on youtube, you can choose to watch
the webisodes and storyline of your favorite character. You will also be able
to edit webisodes to create your own viewing experience.
