Netflix's 'Eden' Drops First Trailer, Set For May 27 Release

Netflix is really pumping up its anime portfolio, especially when its newest title will hit the streaming giant on May 27. “Eden,” a sci-fi and fantasy anime where a human girl, Sara, is secretly raised by two maintenance robots that starts to uncover the myth of humanity.

The four-part series will be helmed by Yasuhiro Irie, famous for directing “Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood,” and producer Justin Leach of “Ghost in the Shell 2.” Meanwhile, Kevin Penkin returns to Netflix to compose the series’ music after securing the Best Score title from Crunchyroll’s 2^nd Anime Awards.

The Japanese ensemble cast comprises Marika Kono, Kyoko Hikami, Kentaro Ito, and Koichi Yamadera who will play Sara, A37, E92, and Zero, respectively. They are joined by Tarusuke Shingaki, Yuki Kuwahara, and Yuko Kaida.

Meanwhile, the English subs are provided by Ruby Rose Turner, Rosario Dawson, David Tennant, JP Karliak, Neil Patrick Harris, Cassandra Lee Morris, and Julie Nathanson.

Qubic Pictures and CGCG Studio Inc. are tasked to bring the series alive with its CGI-inspired take.

There’s not much information on the plot of the story, but, the audience can speculate that it has to do something about the world run by robots, and why humanity vanished.

Netflix announced the production of “Eden” in 2019 and was originally slated for a 2020 release. However, due to the pandemic, “Eden” is pushed back to May 2021.

On Feb. 16, 2021, Tsuyoshi Isomoto adapts “Eden” into a manga, with a serialization that started in Shonen Gahosha's, “Young King Ours” GH magazine.
