Is it inspired by Love, Death and Robots?

It has to right? I mean everybody who watched the first season know what I am talking about right? Its kind of the same setting. The first spark of the idea had to be from there.

Never saw it. The idea of adding the mecha aesthetic to conventional heavy equipment applications is far from new, though. It's a great way of portraying the finesse it takes to manage a large machine safely and efficiently.

You should see some of the logging equipment employed these days. The articulation tech you'd imagine a mech's limbs having is already old hat.

In addition to PatLabor, there are industrial and farming mobile suits in Gundam, and the earliest editions of Battletech had agri-mechs and construction mechs. Civilian mecha, filling agriculture, heavy-construction, and other non-combat roles, have been a thing in Japanese manga and anime since the 1970s.

Ho ho! I'd forgotten about Huge Hunter!

A more contemporary and distinctly Western setting is "The Electric State," first released in book stores in 2018, and the other graphic novels, and art pieces, by Simon Stalenhag, I remember there being discussions about "Love, Death, & Robots," Season 1, Epi 4 taking inspiration from Stalenhag's prior works and also visual cues from Blizzard's "Starcraft" RTS game.

It isn’t! We hadn’t actually seen the episode when we started working on the game, and it was pointed out to us during development! But we can definitely see the resemblance!

Ah alright thank you :)

The idea of robots/mechs gardening existed *long* before that series. Many decades, in fact.
