The brand new Terminator anime heading to Netflix appears to be like completely brutal in a trailer that dropped this weekend. Terminator Zero is ready in 2022 and 1997 (the yr of Judgment Day, as described in Terminator 2) and focuses on new characters: Eiko and the scientist Malcom Lee, who’re being hunted by a Terminator.

Fittingly, it drops on August 29, in a nod to the date of the fictional nuclear annihilation occasion. You may try the brand new trailer under — however only a heads up for anybody who isn’t into anime gore, this clip is filled with it.
Netflix additionally launched a six-minute take a look at the present’s tense opening on its companion website, , earlier this week. It begins in a nightmare model of 2022 earlier than touring again in time. Per the positioning:
Eiko later arrives in 1997 to guard a scientist named Malcolm Lee (André Holland) who works to launch a brand new AI system designed to compete with Skynet’s impending assault on humanity.
