Netflix renews 'Aggretsuko' and commits to more new anime
Netflix is going all-in on anime, renewing another series and bringing in a bunch of new ones, it announced at the Anime 2018 festival. There'll certainly be a lot of variety, starting with season 2 of Aggretsuko (below, arriving in 2019) about a red panda who bristles against her quotidian life via nightly death metal karaoke sessions. It also revealed that the second season of vampire-fighting show Castlevania will debut on October 26th. Also debuting in spring of 2019 is Ultraman, a continuation of the classic 1960s Japanese series about a man who can transform into a giant alien to protect the Earth from invaders. Kengan Ashura, launching in 2019, has a 56-year-old protagonist hired by his Japanese firm as a gladiator to protection the corporate rights of the company he works for (yep).
