The 12-episode fantasy drama Children of the Whales is now available on Netflix with an English dub and subtitles. The series, adapted from the manga of the same name, concluded its original broadcast in Fall 2017.
Produced by J.C.Staff, the story unfolds on the "Mud Whale," a nomadic island drifting across a desert world. Its inhabitants, known as the "Marked," possess supernatural abilities but are cursed with short lifespans. The narrative follows Chakuro, a young archivist who documents their discoveries of abandoned islands, hinting at a larger mystery surrounding their existence and the world's fate.
While not reaching the heights of critical acclaim with a MAL score of 7.17, Children of the Whales offers a complete, bingeable experience for fans of dystopian fantasy and dramatic storytelling. The series explores themes of lost civilizations, magic, and the consequences of war within its unique setting.
