It’s getting a sequel movie that will be released in January 2020. Depending on how the story turns out in it, we may get another season from Kyoto Animation after that premieres. |

As for the shows themselves... I honestly didn't even notice the CG in the first one until everyone started complaining about it, so maybe we're getting closer to it being a decent replacement for hand-drawn. Anything that cuts down on slave-labor hours for animators is worth working on. The stories for the first two, though, come off as "edgelord" and "Sword of the Stranger with mechas," respectively, and I have barely a passing interest in Pacific Rim, so I'm probably going to forget that any of these shows exist.

News of the Pacific Rim anime brings to mind the Street Fighter The Movie video game. We have an example of a life-action film, itself inspired by anime, becoming an anime once more. Whether such a circumnavigation of media formats will result in anything distinctive is an open question at this point.

Cmon guys, give Polygon some slack. BLAME was really nice to look at. They are improving every show.
I'm much more worried for Yasuke since it's directed by a western. Pacific Rim is a nice surprise. |

Did some clean up. We're not turning this into a debate on how Neflix releases shows.

If these are all truly Netflix-commissioned shows like A.I.C.O. Incarnation, then the release schedule issue is irrelevant anyway, because each won't come out in Japan at all before the day Netflix releases it online worldwide.

Can you really call Yasuke an anime? It seems more like an American dude's vision animated by a Japanese studio, so this doesn't seem anymore anime than, say, The Boondocks or The Legend of Korra.

A Jakarta-Singapore based?
Oh man, lately a lot of Indonesian studios participate on anime production. And most of them are great project like latest season of Jojo.
That's depends on individual definition of anime. But I hope it's gonna be like Samurai Champloo. |

I hope they get Obari for Pacific Rim. The guy's a massive dork for everything Pacific Rim and has wanted to do something for it for years.
It's called a co-production. It wasn't all that uncommon in the early to mid 2000s. You had stuff like Cybersix (a Canada-Japan coproduction based on a series of Brazilian comic books), Spider Riders, Oban Star Racers, the various Bakugan shows and technically Beyblade. |

They all sound quite promising, especially looking forward to Cagaster and Altered Carbon thanks to Chigira and Sato respectively.
Yasuke's description being animated by MAPPA sounds very promising too given that studio's usually great animation as does of course the potential of a Pacific Rim giant robot anime. And actually Trese sounds really neat too, so this is a rather interesting lineup, including the co-productions.
Yeah, like Ajin or Sidonia rather than a non-adaptation. I really like the look of this one, plus I've liked a lot of Koichi Chigira's shows so I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Yeah, I thought BLAME was pretty gorgeous watching my blu-ray copy. Also, I think the couple of shots of Gonzo's Cagaster look really good. |

Personally the Alterd Carbon project interests me most. Pacific Rim no doubt will do well as that franchise is perfectly designed for anime. So the only real question is the amount of effort put into it as to whether it can work or not.
Altered Carbon however is a bit different in my mind. At least not as much of a sure thing compared to Pacific Rim. I have however read all 3 of the books in the original book series and I loved them. I thought the season they did on Netflix was pretty good. I think it was not as good, like most cases, as the books, but it was still pretty solid and enjoyable. So I am surprised to hear about this animated project for it, but it's a happy surprise and I really hope they put some effort into it. |

It's an American production. The show runners are two American guys. Plus Pacific Rim bombed in Japan, so I doubt they'd be interested in making an anime about it in the first place, I imagine this is a last ditch effort by Legendary to make Pacific Rim a thing. |

I really wouldn't get hopes up there. The movie should cover everything left from the light novel which ended in 2018. Also KyoAni has quite a few things are their schedule for the next few years already. ------ CG looks really bad on the inspect show. Gonna definitely skip that but I was likely to do so anyway just simply because I'd probably forget about it by the time they release it (full of errors they'll never fix) in the US. |
