The Netflix platform revealed a new
promotional visual for the upcoming original anime based on the “ Terminator ”
franchise, produced by Skydance Animation in collaboration
with Production IG studios , and titled “ Terminator
Zero .” The press release confirmed that the premiere is
scheduled for August 29 in the platform's global catalog.
It should be remembered that this series is
confirmed with a total of eight episodes and that, although it is part
of the “Terminator” universe, it focuses on completely new characters.
The rights holders of the “Terminator”
franchise had planned a series of shorts created by prominent European and
Japanese “authors” in 2008, but the project did not premiere as planned. “Termination”
would have focused on Judgment Day, the crucial day in the multiple plots of
the “Terminator” franchise in which the Skynet defense system launches nuclear
weapons that would destroy much of humanity. The iconic T-800 robot is a
time-traveling Skynet weapon, and has been both the antagonist and protagonist
in the various "Terminator" projects since the first film in 1984.
In fact, the T-800 made an official and
authorized cameo in the anime series “Doraemon” in June 2009. The
main character of the anime Doraemon is a time-traveling robot cat from the
future, and the “dream showdown” » was described in the Japanese press as a
confrontation between American and Japanese robots.
