Netflix’s Terminator Anime Series Gets Its First Teaser Trailer – IGN The Fix: Entertainment
Netflix is taking on Terminator with a new anime series based on the James Cameron sci-fi franchise. Titled ‘Terminator’, the anime will take place two days from August 30, 1997, a date the teaser says everything changes. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, August 29, 1997 is the date Sarah Connor exclaims that Judgment Day will occur, with Skynet gaining sentience and nuking civilization. So right now it’s not yet clear if the anime will overlap any of the movies’ events at all, but the actual date of “Judgment Day” has shifted a bit since T2, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, The Sarah Connor Chronicles , Terminator Salvation and Terminator Genisys have played a little fast and loose with the timeline – Meanwhile, the latest sequel, Terminator: Dark Fate basically acts like the other movies never happened, creating a time paradox that prevents the future of T2 from happening , while also introducing ANOTHER evil AI besides Skynet, called Legion – but whatever, in that timeline, August 29th and 30th, 1997 came and went without much consequence. No word yet on when #Netflix plans to bring us the #Terminator #anime series. And something else makes the jump from live-action to animation: John Wick will see new life in animated form, according to producer/director Chad Stahelski. And finally, Netflix dropped the first teaser for the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series.
