The Netflix TUDUM Japan livestream event announced on Sunday additional staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and teaser promotional video for Wit Studio's Moonrise original anime series. The anime is scheduled to premiere worldwide on Netflix in 2024.

Staff
Original Creator: Tow Ubukata (Mardock Scramble)
Original Character Design: Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Director: Masashi Koizuka (Shingeki no Kyoujin Season 2)
Character Design: Ayumi Yamada (Owari no Seraph sub-character design)
Music: Ryou Kawasaki (Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia)

A prologue novel written by Ubukata was released on Amazon in December 2018.

Synopsis
Year TS 2XXX AD. Humanity has formed a "relaxed world government." Everything was entrusted to the international AI network Sapientia, and people lived according to their rational judgment... However, Sapientia's "moon reclamation project" created a schism between the Earth—which maintains peace by sending pollutants and criminals to the moon—and the moon, which is forced to live in poverty, becoming a source of fire for the War of Independence.

The main character, Jack, who was involved in bombing terrorism, was robbed of his family one day by the Moon Rebels, who were plotting to liberate him from Earth. Jack, sworn to vengeance, decided to travel to the moon with his friends as an earth army investigator.

I wanna believe, but Netflix stuff tends to be forgettable.

why are you boys all gagging?! this looks generic af. oh look, he's fighting robots pew pew.

Yeah.. Judging by the teaser it kinda looks like your run-of-the-mill sci-fi action flick..

I actually had this on my plan to watch list thinking it would be a more qualitative work..

Hope I'm wrong though..

Looks significantly worse than any recent Wit production, especially the textures on that mountainous wall are just ugly. But good to see Koizuka back on something atleast, it's been a while. Seeing the train just made me want to watch Kabaneri again, god that anime looked so beautiful.

Looks great as expected from Wit's production. Can't wait to watch it but looks like it will take a while.

We don't get a lot of sci-fi anime these days, so I'll be watching this.

2024 is a long ways away though.
