Netflix has announced that Pacific Rim: The Black will be returning next month for its second and final season. The new trailer that was released to celebrate the announcement reveals that the popular anime series will begin streaming on April 19th, 2022.
The voice cast for the Netflix anime include Calum Worthy (Stormworld), Gideon Adlon (Girl Meets World), and Erica Lindbeck (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Neon Genesis Evangelion).
While set in the same universe as the first Pacific Rim live-action film, the anime departs from what moviegoers saw in Pacific Rim: Uprising. In the anime, the Kaiju have overrun the continent of Australia, and humans, despite the use of their giant Jaegers, have failed to save the continent. With only isolated pockets of survivors left, teenage siblings Taylor and Hayley Travis stumble across a long-abandoned training Jaeger - Atlas Destroyer. The pair are able to activate the long dormant Jaeger and set out upon a quest to find their parents who left them behind to combat the Kaiju, but never returned. Not only must they battle the marauding Kaiju, but they also face other humans who are left fighting for survival.
About Pacific Rim: The Black Season 2: In the epic series conclusion of Pacific Rim: The Black (S2), the journey is far from over. Our brave siblings Taylor and Hayley still hope to reach the safety of Sydney aboard Atlas Destroyer, the scaled-down training Jaeger left behind when Australia was evacuated. With teenage assassin Mei and the mysterious human/kaiju hybrid bOy joining Taylor and Hayley, this makeshift family must cross a dangerous territory controlled by the bloodthirsty cult Sisters of the Kaiju. These zealots, led by the enigmatic High Priestess, are convinced that boy is their long-awaited Messiah and will stop at nothing to indoctrinate him into their dark circle €“ something Hayley would sacrifice everything to prevent.
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
