One of the most popular characters in Japan comes to life in this stop-motion animation series. Premieres April 19, 2019.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
A.D. 2015. Tokyo 3 is under attack by powerful creatures known as the Angels. The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, is chosen to pilot the Humanoid Decisive Weapon Evangelion — the only way for humanity to fight against the Angels. The battle for the fate of humanity starts now. What exactly are the Angels? What fate awaits the young pilots and humanity itself?
In addition to Neon Genesis Evangelion, Evangelion: Death True and The End of Evangelion will also be launching on Netflix. Premieres Spring 2019.
Ultraman
Several years have passed since the events of Ultraman, with the legendary “Giant of Light” (光の巨人 Hikari no Kyojin) now a memory, as it is believed he returned home after fighting the many giant aliens that invaded the Earth.
Shin Hayata’s son Shinjiro seems to possess a strange ability, and it is this ability, along with his father’s revelation that he was Ultraman, that leads Shinjiro to battle the new aliens invading the Earth as the new Ultraman.
Premieres April 1, 2019.
7SEEDS
In the immediate future, a giant meteorite has collided with earth. All living organisms, including mankind, have been wiped off the face of the planet.
The government, who had foreseen this outcome, took measures to counter the worst-case scenario called Project 7SEEDS, in which five sets of seven young men and women were carefully selected and placed into teams. Each participant sought ways to survive on a deserted island.
Also set to debut in April.
Saint Seiya: Knights Of The Zodiac
Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac follows modern-day adventures of young warriors called “Knights”, who are sworn protectors of the reincarnated Greek goddess Athena.
Each Knight wears a powerful armor based on their chosen zodiac constellation. They aid Athena in her battle against powerful Olympian gods who are bent on destroying humankind.
Set to premiere sometime next summer.
