DUBAI: Netflix announced a bunch of new anime series coming to the streaming platform, including the premiere date for its live-action adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi’s Yu Yu Hakusho.

Yu Yu Hakusho is one of the main pillars of the shonen series of the weekly comics Shonen Jump along with Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, and more.

Netflix has now already announced a live-action One Piece adaptation, and has the rights to the Japanese live-action Bleach movie made in 2018.

The platform also announced the second season of the 2011 anime Tiger & Bunny coming in April 2022. It’s about two superpowered partners in a faux New York City where corporations sponsor heroes and put their feats on TV.

There are two spin-offs of the very popular Detective Conan series. The first is Zero’s Tea Time, about another character named Rei Furuya, a police officer who also works as a private detective and undercover as a member of a crime syndicate. The second is The Culprit Hanagawa, a comedy based on the black silhouetted figure used in the main Detective Conan manga to portray unknown perpetrators.

The medieval fantasy The Seven Deadly Sins is getting a new, two-part anime movie titled Grudge of Edinburgh, based on the hit anime already streaming on Netflix.

In August 2022, anime fans can also expect to see Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler on their Netflix screens, which is a series about a high school where social status is determined by gambling.

Netflix’s CG-animated Ultraman TV series, due sometime next spring, also had its trailer released.
