posted on by Karen Ressler
Netflix is currently hosting a placeholder page for ID-0, World Cosplay Summit's original anime project.
The anime premiered on Tokyo MX on April 9 at 11:00 p.m., and premiered later on Sun TV, KBS Kyoto, and BS11. The staff already confirmed that the series will stream exclusively on Netflix.
The show's complete Blu-ray Disc and DVD box set will ship on August 29, and while Bandai doesn't list an episode count, it does list that the box sets will include 290 minutes of footage.
In the story, I-Machines are the general term for robots that operate in extreme environments. While Alliance Academy student Maya Mikuri is in the middle of operating an I-Machine, she gets involved in an incident with pirates, and ends up serving as a crew member on an excavation company's spaceship.
Goro Taniguchi (s-CRY-ed, Code Geass, Active Raid) is directing the series at SANZIGEN. Yousuke Kuroda (My Hero Academia, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Gundam Build Fighters) is supervising and writing the series scripts, Kanetake Ebikawa is credited with "mechanic character design," and Hiromi Kato is adapting Range Murata's original character designs for animation. Fumihiro Katagai, Takeshi Takakura, and Takayuki Yanase are designing the mecha, and Seiichi Shirato is credited as a researcher.
