HBO MAX And Netflix Details Adult Animation Offerings For April 2021
HBO MAX doesn’t have a bunch of new adult animation coming in April 2021 with really just Ted coming to the service starting April 3rd and the second half of Adult Swim’s Primal coming April 6th. Netflix, on the other hand, has two highly-anticipated new anime series that you can see our previews for below. A new teaser has been released from Netflix that even showcases new footage for both series.
The Way Of The Househusband
Premieres: April 8th
Based on a story by Kosuke Oono, Tatsu, an infamous and feared yakuza boss nicknamed “the Immortal Dragon”, retires from crime to become househusband so that he can support Miku, his kyariaūman wife. The episodic series depicts a variety of comedic scenarios, typically wherein Tatsu‘s banal domestic work as a househusband is juxtaposed against his intimidating personality and appearance, and his frequent run-ins with former yakuza associates and rivals.
Yasuke
Premieres: August 29th
In a war-torn feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic, the greatest ronin never known, Yasuke, struggles to maintain a peaceful existence after a past life of violence. But when a local village becomes the center of social upheaval between warring daimyo, Yasuke must take up his sword and transport a mysterious child who is the target of dark forces and bloodthirsty warlords.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
