We announced that the second season of Netflix Pacific Rim: The Black anime would begin streaming this month and the wait is finally over for fans of the mecha/kaiju film and anime series!
What promises to be an epic conclusion for the series began streaming yesterday (you can watch it HERE). Taylor and Hayley still hope to reach the safety of Sydney aboard Atlas Destroyer, the scaled-down training Jaeger that was left behind when Australia was evacuated. With teenage assassin Mei and the mysterious human/kaiju hybrid bOy joining them, the makeshift family must cross dangerous territory controlled by the bloodthirsty cult Sisters of the Kaiju. Led by the enigmatic High Priestess, these zealots are conviced that bOy is their long-awaited Messaiah and wills top at nothing to bring him into their dark circle.
Pacific Rim: The Black's first season premiered March 4th, 2021. It is based upon the Pracific Rim franchise and was developed and co-written by Greg Johnson (Thor: Ragnarok) and Craig Kyle (X-Men: Evolution) for Netflix. The story is set in the Pacific Rim universe found in the first live-action film, but sees an alternate version of events from what was seen in the sequel Pacific Rim: Uprising. Kaiju (a race of giant monsters) have overrun the continent of Australia. While humans fight back using their gigantic armed robots (Jaegers), they fail to save the continent and abandon it.
With only isolated pockets of survivors left, teenage sibling sTaylor and Hayley Travis stumble across a long-abandoned training Jaeger - Atlas Destroyer. Hayley and Taylor are able to activate the long dormant Jaeger and set out upon a quest to find their parents who left them behind to combat the Kaiju, but never returned.
The voice cast for the Netflix anime include Calum Worthy (Stormworld), Gideon Adlon (Girl Meets World), and Erica Lindbeck (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Neon Genesis Evangelion).
