Netflix Streams Korean/Japanese CG Series Gon
posted on by Karen Ressler
Netflix is now streaming Daewon Media's CG-animated adaptation of Masashi Tanaka's dinosaur manga Gon. The series has 26 episodes available with English and Korean audio.
Tanaka serialized the manga, with its signature lack of dialogue or sound effects, in Kodansha's Morningmagazine from 1991 to 2002. He then briefly resumed the manga in color in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in 2012, and published a black-and-white one-shot in 2013. (The manga is on hiatus now, but will return to Monthly Afternoon later this year in black-and-white.) Paradox Press and CMX Manga once published the manga in North America, and Kodansha USA is the latest to print the seven volumes from the manga's first run.
The first 50-episode television season premiered in Gintama's former timeslot on TV Tokyo in 2012. A second season debuted in South Korea in 2014 and in Japan in April 2015.
