Expected today and an impressive two weeks ahead of Japan, Crunchyroll will air the first two episodes of Estab-Life: Great Escape.
The first series from the Fuji TV and Crunchyroll partnership will be shown in Japan’s +Ultra schedule block. So, no pressure then.
Episode 3 will come to Crunchyroll, complete with English subtitles, on March 30th.
Directed by Code Geass’ Goro Taniguchi and Hiroyuki Hashimoto, Estab-Life: Great Escape is an original anime in a city managed by an AI.
Sound like sci-fi? Chinese company Alibaba already offers City Brains, AI/machine-learning systems to manage and model big data for traffic intervention (not just forecasting), planning and predicting the behaviour of people.
There’s a smartphone game coming, and we’re told that the anime features people trying to escape this version of Tokyo.
