 Streaming content provider Netflix announced on Thursday that it will distribute an original anime series, Perfect Bones, by animation studio Production I.G. The 12-episode science fiction series will mark the series directorial debut of Kazuto Nakazawa, who has previously been an animation director (Samurai Champloo) and character designer (Zankyou no Terror). Perfect Bones is set in a future where scientists have tried to create the "perfect human" in hopes of keeping peace in the universe. After nearly achieving their goal through several children, the scientists send their "new humans" for further training where they are kidnapped by an evil organization set on using their powers to implement their own concept of a new world order. The Washington Post reported in November that Netflix was planning to produce original anime shows as part of an effort to expand internationally. Perfect Bones will be the first original anime series to be distributed simultaneously in 190 countries. Source: Official press release |

| The synopsis sounds interesting tbh and its' getting worldwide release. Hope it won't be CG though. |
|
| Boring-ass premise, sounds like a Hollywood movie. It's probably gonna end up being average at best, |
| They should have gotten Bones studio instead, what a golden opportunity missed :( Perfect Bones by Bones. |
 |
| it has began, i hope Netflix will fund more original anime |
| still wondering who will be the script writer. the director mostly works as animation director. at least got amazing visual. that's for sure. this has same director and studio. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| So it has begun, Netflix is stepping in the anime game. This is pretty exciting. |

| Holy hell this is amazing!! I have high hopes for this!!! |
| Interesting. Will definitely check it out when its release. Please no CGI. |

FTFY Hope this is not just a one-time affair, the industry really need whatever income source they could get in this age of Internet. |

| I hope they use the ideas from the west and don't be schlocky. |

| I wonder if the English voice cast (assuming there is one) will be actual professionals and not the people they always get for dubs. |
| damn I didnt even know Netflix was available in 10 countries; therere really going all out this time |
 Freddy Nicholas said: have control, be yourself, god is dead |
| Very interesting. This could be the start of something (hopefully something good) and the synopsis of the Anime itself doesn't sound so bad. |
| Netflix has produced some good original shit over the years so I'll definitely check this out GarLogan78 said: This a multi million dollar company we're talking aboutI wonder if the English voice cast (assuming there is one) will be actual professionals and not the people they always get for dubs. I think they've got more than enough money to hire actual cartoon VO actors and not just people like Monica Rial and Bryce Papenbrook |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Ooh maybe I'll finnaly watch a anime series on Netflix, will probably check it out. Regardless if it's shit or not |
 |
where they are kidnapped by an evil organization Sounds so cringy no thanks. |
| I'll probably check this out, doesn't sound too bad, and this could potentially be good for anime in general. I'm interested in if this will be dubbed, I'm guessing most-likely and if so, hopefully it could be a good opportunity for more, new, talented VAs to get some work rather than the same selection. I still enjoy the occasional dub, but hearing the same voices every time does get boring. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| Huh, should be interesting, Seven Deadly Sins was a lot of fun and Knights of Sidonia was alright I suppose (although I've only seen s1), so it'll definitely be interesting to check out at the very least. |

| Looks interesting~ I'm in! |
| So who are the original creator for this show? Who wrote the story line, character and setting? Netflix or Production IG? |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| This is interesting! I look forward to checking it out. |
 |
| Production IG is always a yes to PTW for me. Of course staff is the most important, so there's nothing much to say yet about this project. Well, except that I was surprised to see Netflix, but it should be interesting at least. And hopefully good. |
| This could either be a gigantic success or a gigantic flop. Let's see how it all plays out. |
| i wonder if this going to be in english dub... |
Monjoex said: Theyll probably have both, English and Japanese. Anyways, sounds interesting, but I'll keep my expectations as low as possible.i wonder if this going to be in english dub... |
| I'm not really attracted by the synopsis, but I'll watch it to see the outcome. |
 |
| Well this should be interesting. |

He directed Kigeki and that Kill Bill anime sequence. That synopsis sounds pretty boring but it'd be interesting to see what the director has to offer. |

| always down for Production I.G, and if it's being released on Netflix, I would like to assume that this would mean a batch release and not a weekly episodic kind of release. maybe that'll ease up a lot of the pressure that comes with having to stick to a strict schedule and budget. and maybe if this is part of a production plan, studios will have a better budget too, but that's assuming that Netflix will be working in tandem with anime studios to fund these projects. I'm interested, especially in regards to the director. I've had my eye on Kazuto lately. |
| Wait, isn't the sypnosis a little like ZnT? Just saying. |
| sup |
| What a time to be alive. |
| Je trempe mes cookies dans tes larmes. |
"Series directorial debut" is specified for a reason. Nakazawa has only directed shorts and OVAs. |
| I'll keep an eye out for more on this I suppose. |
| is it finally time to netflix and chill fo real? |
| KAZUTO NAKAZAWA IS THE MAN! Been waiting for his directorial debut, he is a godly animator/character designer, and has a lot of experience in film, TV, etc. I.G is a huge plus, but the fact that Netflix is making an original anime; I'll need some time to soak that in. |
 |
| Production I.G and Netflix? Should have a very high budget and look excellent. Hope we get a visual and air date soon. |
| This is going to be very interesting, definitely gonna watch this. |
 |
| Netflix do have a pretty good track record with the original content they've done so far I think. I hope it'll be the same with their venture into anime and we'll get some good stuff. |
| Samurai Champloo director? Count me in. |
"Hi!" |
| The synopsis and the title makes it sound like an anime Version of Wolverine. I don't like either Netflix or Production I.G . But if they're working together , I hope they end up making something decent this time. |
