Netflix has announced three original anime projects currently in production!
They were revealed on June 11 as part of Netflix’s inaugural Geeked Week, a virtual event dedicated to comic books, anime, games, and other pop culture genres.
One of the new projects is Bright: Samurai Soul, a film inspired by Will Smith’s 2017 action movie Bright. Directed by Kyohei Ishiguro ( Your Lie in April, Children of the Whales ), it will relocate the action to Japan to the midst of the Bakumatsu/Meiji transition.
Meanwhile, space horror series Exception boasts character designs by Final Fantasy’s Yoshitaka Amano and a script by novelist Hirotaka Adachi (under the pen name Otsuichi).
Finally, Make My Day is a sci-fi film based on an original story by Yasuo Otagaki ( Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, Moonlight Mile ).
