Netflix’s CG ‘Ghost in the Shell’ series premieres April 23rd
[ad_1] An experienced team is there, at lest. Ghost in the Shell series veteran Kenji Kamiyama is directing alongside Shinji Aramaki of Evangelion and Ultraman, while the original cast from the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is back. If you can get past the art style, it might be an entertaining diversion from […]
‘Castlevania: Symphony of the Night’ unexpectedly arrives on mobile
[ad_1] As The Verge notes, Symphony of the Night was the first Castlevania game from writer and director Koji “Iga” Igarashi.

Crunchyroll details its first eight original anime productions
[ad_1] The originals cover a variety of genres.

A ‘The Witcher’ anime film is coming to Netflix
[ad_1] Netflix clearly knows its adaptation of The Witcher is a hot property (shifting metrics aside), and it’s determined to milk that success for all it’s worth. The service has confirmed rumors that it’s working on an anime movie offshoot, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. It’s not saying much about the plot besides talk […]
Netflix is getting a samurai anime from country singer Sturgill Simpson
[ad_1] Titled Sound & Fury, the film will be released this fall together with a new album of the same name. The film will be set to Simpson’s music, with each song acting as the soundtrack for a different short anime segment. The rock and country singer hasn’t released a full album since 2016’s A […]
Zack Snyder is turning Norse myths into anime for Netflix
[ad_1] Wesley Coller and Zack’s wife Deborah will produce the show. There’s certainly reason to be cautious when Snyder has a mixed track record. Oliva is well-known for titles like Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, though, and the subject matter of gods and Vikings could play into their strengths. If nothing else, this reinforces Netflix’s […]
