Netflix’s Make My Day Announces The Day It Will Make

Humans and a mysterious lifeform battle it out on an ice planet in this epic survival sci-fi from Yasuo Ohtagaki called Make My Day. 

Yasuo Ohtagaki, the acclaimed manga author known for his sci-fi spectacles Moonlight Mile and Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, has created an original story for a must-see sci-fi epic that brings together talent both from Japan and abroad. Shoji Kawamori, known for designing well-known mechs including those in the Macross series, and Kiyotaka Oshiyama, designer of the demons in Devilman Crybaby, lend their talents to the mech designs.

Based on a story by Yasuo Ohtagaki, the movie features director Makoto Honda with a screenplay by Yumiko Yoshizawa and mech design by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. Music is being brought to you by Kensuke Ushio with character designs and production from Studio 5.

The snowy, ice-covered planet Coldfoot is home to a precious energy-rich ore called “sig.” On the surface, the planet seems to be a crime-free utopia, but in reality prisoners are used for back-breaking sig mining. Jim, a young prison guard, rushes to the site of a sudden mining accident to find a mysterious creature attacking the humans.

Netflix has announced a February 2nd premiere date for Make My Day.
