Netflix 2018 Anime roster includes ‘Devilman Crybaby,’ ‘My Hero Academia’

After having subscribers swooning over how good “Castlevania” is, Netflix will be delivering more anime series, to everyone’s delight. Just recently, the network announced over 13 anime series set to debut next year.

The announcement was made at the Anime Slate 2017 in Tokyo. The lineup includes reboots and adaptations as well as some completely original series that let subscribers see collaborations between Japanese and Western talent.

The lineup includes impressively familiar titles, one of which is “Devilman Crybaby.” The anime is based on the classic series by Go Nagai. It will be composed of 10 different episodes and features a fictional world corrupted by an ancient race of demons. The trailer looks pretty impressive. It will launch in the spring of 2018.

Another title worth anticipating is “AICO Incarnation.” Bones, the studio behind popular shows “Eureka 7,” “Soul Eater,” and “My Hero Academia” will be bringing this sci-fi series to Netflix, writes Polygon. This takes place in a futuristic Tokyo wherein a girl named Aiko loses her family in a tragic incident. After a while, she discovers The Primary Point, the origin of the catastrophe called “The Burst.”

Toho Studios, the original team behind “Godzilla,” will be bringing a new trilogy to Netflix with “Godzilla: Monster Planet." The film will be set in 2048 and features an Earth that has been completely taken over by kaiju. When a group of humans realises that the planet they initially plan to colonize is uninhabitable, they decide to redeem their homeland from the grip of these monsters.

Netflix will also be bringing back “Baki,” the classic mixed martial arts anime. This series will run for 26 episodes in a reboot.

“Cannon Busters,” from co-director of “The Boondocks” LeSean Thomas, is also worth a watch, GameSpot notes. This follows a discarded maintenance robot and his fugitive partner. It will run for 12 episodes.

Other anime set to be released by Netflix US, as well as Netflix Australia, include “B: The Beginning,” “Sword Gai: The Animation,” “Lost Song,” “Rilakkuma Series,” “Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya,” “Kakegurui,” “Fate/Apocrypha” and “Children of the Whales.”
