Netflix has released a TUDUM Anime Spotlight teaser video, which includes a short preview of the upcoming Super Crooks anime.
The video’s release comes the day before Netflix’s TUDUM “global fan event” on September 25. The event will include an Anime Spotlight section that will feature titles like “Aggretsuko, A Whisker Away, Bright: Samurai Soul, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal The Movie, Super Crooks, Ultraman, and more!”
Super Crooks is an adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic series, which began in 2012 and ran for four issues. The staff includes Motonobu Hori (Carole and Tuesday) as director, Dai Satō (Listener) as series composer, Takashi Mitani (Carole and Tuesday key animator) as character designer, and Stanislas Brunet (Carole and Tuesday world designer) as concept designer. Bones is the animation production studio.
Goodreads describes the comic as:
When the market is flooded with competition and the authorities are always on your tail, what’s an all-American super villain to do? Go to Spain, of course! Johnny Bolt convinces his villainous pals to pull off one last heist but will culture shock get to them before the policia do? And when Johnny’s target is revealed as the greatest super villain of all time, things go horribly wrong – but it’s too late to turn back. A massive secret in the American superhero community might just work in their favor, and if the Supercrooks can survive, it will mean an enormous payday!
