A whole host of news came out of the Netflix Anime Festival 2020 livestream just recently, with the service showing off 5 new projects and 11 in-progress features. Netflix showed off some original anime shows, as well as some interesting updates on some of their projects based on other properties such as Resident Evil. The company was quite excited to show off everything it has coming up, giving props to their creative team based in Tokyo, Japan for all the work done acquiring and developing new projects.
The five new projects announced go as follows: first, Rilakkuma’s Theme Park Adventure, a continuation of the popular stop-motion animated Rilakkuma and Kaoru show. Then there’s Thermae Romae Novae, the comedic story of a Roman bath maker who ends up in modern day Japan. There’s also High-Rise Invasion, described as “an unpredictable and frightening survival story set in high-rise buildings that don’t reach the ground,” as well as Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, which was written by Kishibe Rohan after doing research for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Finally there’s The Way of the Househusband, a story about a Yakuza who retires to become a homemaker.
Netflix also gave some more details about 11 other already-announced projects, the most interesting of which were about Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and Pacific Rim: The Black. Both projects received a first look debut, which mostly consisted of a few teaser images as well as some information about who will producing the projects, though Pacific Rim: Black also had the show’s opening title animation shown off for the first time. There was also a little information about a new anime called Godzilla Singular Point, which had a preview that showed off quite a few exciting Kaiju designs.
Thankfully Netflix has made the entire livestream viewable for anyone who wasn’t able to watch it at the time, with some helpful bookmarks for those who just want to see the teasers. For those who have an interest in the behind the scenes production, however, there’s a lot of interesting commentary and discussion to be had during the livestream. It’s a great watch for anyone interested in the art form and how Netflix plans to approach its lineup of anime shows.
