Terminator Zero Posts Sneak-Peek Ahead of Premiere

As a lifelong fan of the Terminator franchise and an anime enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of Japanese animation, I can hardly contain my excitement for Netflix’s upcoming collaboration with Production I.G., Terminator Zero. The prospect of delving into the post-apocalyptic world of Skynet through the lens of anime is nothing short of exhilarating.


Established franchises like Suicide Squad and Star Wars are venturing into the anime realm lately, and this summer, Skynet will join them as Netflix collaborates with Production I.G. to produce Terminator Zero. Instead of centering on the Conner family, this anime adaptation delves into a fresh aspect of the post-apocalyptic future and its prelude. Prior to its debut, Terminator Zero has revealed a sneak peek to offer fans a glimpse of the series.

As a die-hard anime fan, let me say that Production I.G. has truly outdone themselves this year! Not only are they set to collaborate with Netflix, but they’ve also been instrumental in producing the latest Haikyu film, “Haikyu: The Dumpster Battle”, the first season of Kaiju No. 8, and Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin. To top it all off, at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, they announced their partnership with Keanu Reeves and Netflix to create an anime adaptation of BRZRKR, a comic series that has captured the hearts of many. And if that wasn’t enough, they’re also working on the final film of the Haikyu series, which as of now remains untitled. With such an exciting lineup, it’s safe to say that Production I.G. is keeping very busy!

Skynet’s Anime Arrival is Imminent

In this fresh installment of the Terminator series, we encounter several novel ideas, but it also rekindles familiar aspects that initially set the Skynet universe in motion. Like the reliable T-100 models that have alternated between tormenting and assisting humanity, this forthcoming anime will resurrect time travel technology, a tool which provided humanity with an opportunity to defeat the machines.

If you’re curious about the series “Terminator Zero,” here’s a summary provided by Netflix: In the year 2022, humanity has been fighting a prolonged war against machines. The story goes back to 1997 when an AI named Skynet became self-aware and started its war against mankind. A soldier is sent from the future to this time period with a mission to alter humanity’s fate. She protects a scientist, Malcolm Lee, who is developing a new AI system meant to counteract Skynet’s upcoming attack on humanity. As Malcolm grapples with the ethical implications of his invention, he and his family are pursued by an unyielding assassin from the future, altering the course of events for his three children.
