The Spriggan manga which ran in the 1990s shook the manga universe to become one of the legendary action classics of all time.
This epic manga is finally getting an anime series adaptation after more than 25 years! The best part of all is, the adaptation is coming straight from the streaming giant, “Netflix!”
The anime will be based on the manga itself written by Hiroshi Takashige.
Spriggan focuses on a technologically advanced future where super soldiers are at war to save the world while searching for mysterious artifacts.
The plot of Spriggan revolves around the life of Yu Ominae, a high school student who leads a double life as a “Spriggan,” an elite covert agent for ARCAM organization.
Spriggan takes place in the last years of the Cold War where mysterious and unknown artifacts are discovered in various parts of the world, leading to a secret war between various forces against Yu Ominae’s organization.
He along with his members are on a mission to protect and seal the ultra-ancient artifacts from evil forces.
Though there was an anime film made in 1998 about Spriggan, it wasn’t enough. Netflix is on its mission to bring out the best of Spriggan for anyone, be it newcomers to anime or old folks like me. This is one promising anime series to look forward to from Netflix.
