Netflix’s new anime Terminator Zero has launched, complete with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.
The Terminator series, which stars Timothy Olyphant as the titular cyborg assassin, was released on the streamer on August 29, AKA Judgment Day – the in-universe date in which the AI Skynet becomes self-aware and kicks off nuclear armageddon.
Much like other Netflix anime success stories such as Blue Eye Samurai and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, it’s proved an early hit with both critics and fans.
Currently, Terminator Zero sits at a 100% rating with critics after 15 reviews onRotten Tomatoes. Viewers are also keen, with the series garnering a 90% audience score at the time of writing.
In our ownTerminator Zero review, the series (which also includes Sonoya Mizuno, Andre Holland, and Rosario Dawson in its English language cast) is described as “an exhilarating anime spinoff that pays homage to the classic films while still forging its own path”.
Unfortunately, those happening for a second season of Blue Eye Samurai will have to wait a little while longer.
