"Leviathan," a Netflix series with original songs by Joe Hisaishi, animation production by Orange (known for "Land of the Lustrous," "BEASTARS," and "TRIGUN STAMPEDE"), direction by Christophe Ferreira of "Eden," and production by Justin Leach, will be exclusively streamed worldwide in 2025. The teaser art and scene photos were also revealed, depicting a story where a prince and a girl disguised as a boy meet on the bioengineering airship Leviathan on the eve of World War I in 1914. This encounter changes history.


"Tokyo Override"

"Tokyo Override"


"Tokyo Override" is a sci-fi animation set in Tokyo 100 years from now, where AI has seamlessly integrated into daily life and urban living is fully automated. The story follows outcast protagonists who uncover a great evil lurking in the seemingly ideal society. It will be exclusively streamed worldwide in 2024. The story features a lonely teenage hacker who, at the request of their only friend, meets a group of outcasts skilled in riding motorcycles—an endangered mode of transportation in this world. Through investigating a fatal accident, they discover the shocking reality behind what was thought to be a utopian city.


Up-and-coming storyteller Yusuke Fukada, known for producing the Sylvester Stallone series "Ultimate Beastmaster," and Virapatra Jinanavin, who blends Hollywood major studio experience with the sensibilities of his native Thailand, co-direct this project.

With the cooperation of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., the future world is constructed with immersive audio, featuring real and original design motorcycles roaring through a pop and noir bike action sci-fi entertainment.
