The 12-episode CGI mecha series ID-0 has arrived on Netflix, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The show plunges viewers into a future where human consciousness can be transferred into robotic bodies, a process fraught with the risk of permanent entrapment. The narrative follows the Excavate Company, a ragtag crew of I-Machine miners focused on extracting a valuable ore called "orichalt."
Produced by SANZIGEN, known for their work on CGI-heavy series like The God of High School and Arpeggio of Blue Steel, ID-0 explores themes of identity, corporate greed, and the perils of advanced technology in a spacefaring setting. The series aired in Spring 2017 and is now available to stream in its entirety.
ID-0 offers a gritty take on the real robot subgenre, blending intense action with political intrigue as the miners navigate dangerous environments and their own precarious existence.
