Netflix Orders “Japan Sinks 2020” Set To Premiere In 2020 And Produced By Japan

I remember in 2012 when Roland Emmerich had directed a pile of shit film called 2012 that was all about Earth going through all sorts of crazy climate and weather-related phenomenon meant as a means to remind us that regardless of our differences, we are all of one species. Roland’s much better film Independence Day probably did a better job at uniting the world for a common cause, but here were are still melting our ice caps and throwing garbage in the oceans.

Fortunately, Netflix has ordered a new original anime series entitled Japan Sinks 2020, inspired by Sakyo Komatsu’s 1973 science-fiction novel Japan Sinks that’s all about Japan feeling the negative effects of a growing ecological threat all the while the government plugs it’s ears and says, “Nanna Nanna Boo-Boo” to the scientists who are begging for mankind-saving measures to help combat this threat. Ten episodes are on the way to Netflix set to hit in 2020 by director Masaaki Yuasa. It’s expected a worldwide release with an English dub.
