The continuing expansion beyond known name properties is one of the more exciting parts of seeing what Netflix can fund when it comes to some of the creatives out of Japan for anime. A new one announced back in June 2021 as part of GeekedWeek was Make My Day, a feature film that’s adapting the original story by Yasuo Ohtagaki. Ohtagaki has been doing some great stuff over the years that people like myself love such as Moonlight Mile and the recent Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt project.
With a planned February 2023 debut revealed before, the show saw a February 2nd, 2023 debut that instead of being a film became a series. Check out the clip below from it where you don’t want to wake the creepy thing on the ceiling up – available one eight languages and thirteen subtitle options!
The series is directed by Makoto Honda, his first feature directorial work, with 5 Inc. handling the animation and character designs. Yumiko Yoshizawa is handling the screenplay for it.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Masaomi Yamahashi as Jim
- Ayahi Takagaki as Marie
- Kazuhiro Yamaji as Walter
- Akio Ohtsuka as Commander Bark
- Atsuko Tanaka as Cathy Beck
Plot Concept: On a cold planet of ice and snow, mysterious creatures suddenly have appeared from the dark underground and have begun to attack the inhabitants. Can humanity survive the terror lurking beyond the horizon?
