In early 2021, as talk of a Murderbot Diaries adaptation was underway, fans of the series started asking each other questions like, “What would we want to see from an adaptation of our favorite book series?“ and “Wouldn’t it be cool if this or that scene was animated?“ and “Hey, don’t YOU know some things about animation?“ and “What if a bunch of fans got together to make a Murderbot fan animation?“
Now, two years of teamwork later, the Murderbot Diaries Fanimation Project has completed our labor of love: a fully realized animation adapting scenes from the first four novellas into a trailer, dedicated to showcasing everything we love about the story of our favorite rogue SecUnit.
