A Terminator anime from the legendary studio behind the Ghost in the Shell franchise is coming to Netflix. The streaming giant didn’t share any details about the plot, but showrunner Mattson Tomlin, who worked on Project Power for Netflix said Variety he plans to approach the franchise in a way that “breaks conventions, subverts expectations and has real courage”. If you’re an anime fan, you don’t need an introduction to Production IG. In addition to adapting the seminal manga by Masamune Shirow, the studio worked on popular series such as Psycho-Pass and Eden of the East.
The scariest killing machine in the history of science fiction is back, exactly as promised. Project Power’s Mattson Tomlin and the legendary anime studio Production IG are teaming up for an animated series set in the Terminator universe.
