Watch The First Trailer For “Neo Yokio” Starring Jaden Smith, Jude Law, Ezra Koenig, and Susan Sarandon

This thing looks crazed.

Set to premiere on September 22 is a brand-new anime series called Neo Yokio featuring a jam-packed lineup of voices like Ezra Koenig (Vampire Weekend), Jaden Smith, Jude Law, and Susan Sarandon with ol’ pal Nick Weidenfeld’s Friends Night studio executive producing with Production IG (Ghost in the Shell) , Studio Deen, and MOI.

Six episodes are going to drop and the series revolves around a demon-slaying operation headed up by Aunt Agatha (voiced by Sarandon) who asks her team of slayers featuring Kaz (Smith), his mecha-butler Charles (Law), and pals Lexy and Gottlieb (The Kid Mero and Desus Nice)  as they try to thwart Arcangelo Corelli (Jason Schwartzman.)

The setting of Neo Yokio is that of a recently freed-from-demons war zone that may or may not be legit if we’re to believe Helena St. Tessero (Tavi Gevinson) and her fashion blog.

Our Take

This franchise was teased years ago when FOX ADHD was still around and it’s awesome to see it finally come to fruition after all these years. Netflix gets to reap the benefits with a bunch of major players in starring roles and continuing what will be a strong September for animation for the streaming service that also includes new seasons of Big Mouth (September 29th) and BoJack Horseman (September 8th) that are both slated for arrival.
