their approach is called "optimistic nihilism" and their style feels alot like "the hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy" which even has similar animations in the latest movie adaptation. ... sorry, it's just i like that story, i read all five books in the trilogy before i was 14.
anyway, optimistic nihilism, here's an alan moore quote i find quite wonderful:
"why do we argue, life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing"
