Netflix released a sizzle reel today, highlighting some of the highly anticipated anime series and movies coming to the streaming platform next month. From Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura to Ultraman: Rising, there's a lot for anime fans to look forward to in June.
The trailer doesn't just highlight upcoming movies and shows, but animes that are already streaming on the platform including T・P BON, Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf, and My Oni Girl.
Of course, the biggest and most anticipated have yet to come. Check out the quick sizzle reel below and read on about some of the eagerly awaited projects that are now just a few weeks away from debuting on Netflix.
On June 6th, fans can look forward to Baki Hanma VS Kengan Ashura. In this hard-hitting martial arts crossover, we'll witness the ultimate showdown between the toughest fighters from Baki Hanma and Kengan Ashura.
We've then got Ultraman: Rising the following week June 14th. Inspired by the original 1966 television series created by Eiji Tsuburaya and Tetsuo Kinjo, the film introduces an all-new Ultraman: baseball star Ken Sato. Like the previous entries in the Ultraman franchise, Ultraman: Rising follows a seemingly average young man who has the ability to transform into a gigantic superhero. This is a reimagined iteration of the hero, along with new enemies, so even those who are unfamiliar with the source material can enjoy this movie.
Closing out the month is Rising Impact on June 22. Based on Nakaba Suzuki's Japanese manga series first serialized more than 20 years ago, Rising Impact is a two-part anime series that focuses on the game of golf. The series follows a third-grade named Gawain Nanaumi who has a passion for baseball and hitting the ball far. When he meets professional golfer Kiria Nishino, he learns that golf allows him to hit a ball further than any other sport. The first part of Nakaba Suzuki's Japanese manga series will debut on June 22nd, followed part two on August 6th.
