One of the coolest experiences in my career has to be attending this year’sRTXand being among veteran and cutting-edge animation talent. Part of that experience included exposure toLastman, a French animated action series that tells the serialized story of Richard Aldana, a talented fighter who’s a bit of a slacker, and his mentor, Dave.Lastmanwasteased during the conventionand I’m happy to say it’s now making its English-language debut this very week!
The anime-inspired series acts as a prequel to the comic written byBastien VivèsandBalakand drawn by Vivès andMichaël Sanlaville. The animated adaptation aired in France in 2016, but Mondo Media is bringing all 26 15-minute episodes of the English dub exclusively to theVRV platformstarting Friday, August 25th with new episodes airing weekly at 3pm ET. It’s a must-watch for fans of anime and animation alike!
Check out the new teaser trailer forLastmanbelow:
Meet the young Richard Aldana, 10 years before he kicks everyone’s ass in the comic book Lastman. Follow his adventures over 26 episodes - a total of more than 5 hours of animation - full of fighting, gangsters, and paranormal activity!
Exciting, right? The art style is fantastic, the fight sequences are thrilling, and the mythology is really something else. I can’t say enough good things about it, at least from the first episode I was able to check out early. If you’re a fan of shows likeCowboy Bebop, definitely markLastmandown as a must-watch series.
