Wit Studio's original anime Moonrise has arrived on Netflix, offering an 18-episode dive into a dystopian future. The series imagines a world where an AI called Sapientia maintains peace on Earth by exiling criminals and pollutants to the Moon, setting the stage for inevitable conflict.
The narrative centers on Jacob "Jack" Shadow, who becomes entangled in the lunar uprising after a personal tragedy. Wit Studio, known for its work on Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga, brings its signature dynamic action and detailed world-building to this space opera, which blends military sci-fi with themes of artificial intelligence and social disparity.
With all episodes now available, Moonrise presents a binge-worthy narrative exploring the consequences of maintaining utopia through exile. The CGI-heavy production promises intense robot battles and a look at the harsh realities of humanity's off-world colonies.
