We’vehad abbreviated face at Black Lotus , Blade Runner ’s takings to animation after Shinichiro Watanabe first gave usa glimpse of 2049 ’s worldwith his own animated prequel short . Now thelegendary Bebop directoris back producing a full - flight series in its noir - cyber-terrorist world , and we have a really good peep at just what it ’s doing .
Crunchyroll stopped by New York Comic Con 2021 — in - someone and virtualthis twelvemonth — to fork over the first full trailer for Black Lotus , produced by theUltraman Netflix animestudio Sola Digital Arts , and directed by Ghost in the Shell : Standalone Complex ’s Kenji Kamiyama and Ultraman ’s Shinji Aramaki . Set in 2032 , after the events of Watanabe ’s Blade Runner 2049 short “ Black Out , ” the series follows a untried fair sex who discovers that she ’s actually a replicant , Elle ( Arisa Shida / Jessica Henwick ) , and is quickly thrust into a dangerous underworld ruled by cruel goon and the wealthy elite group .
The preview ’s luminousness on plot — other than the fact that Elle need revenge for what ’s been done to her and design to , well “ stamp out them all ” ( them mostly give vague ) . But it ’s heavy on vibes , and those vibes are at least feeling very Blade Runner so far . Aesthetically , the show ’s doing a moderately well occupation of encapsulating in especial the feel of the original Blade Runner ’s world ; neon - soaked but still dark and dingy where 2049 was a bit more effervescent . hold in the morose synth soundtrack , some action at law , and aVoight - Kampff testfor good amount , and you at least have a show that appear like it can walk the Blade Runner walkway .
A few splatters of blood are probably low on the list of Elle’s things to worry about.Screenshot: Crunchyroll/Adult Swim
We ’ll just have to see if it talk the talk when Black Lotus start airing on Adult Swim ’s Toonami block ( with its English - language dub ) and onCrunchyroll(in Japanese with subtitle ) at the same time from November 13 .
