Netflix's Moonrise Anime Is a Gorgeous Space Opera, but Its Story Is a Mess

Summary

Nutrition label

66% Informative

Moonrise is set in a near future where humanity flourishes in a seemingly idyllic utopia, free from racial discrimination, war, pollution, and prejudice.

At the heart of this space conflict is Jack Shadow , who, driven by the loss of his family in a terrorist attack, joins a covert scout unit tasked with neutralizing rebel leader Bob Skylum , known as “ the king of the moon” .

Despite its ambitious attempt to weave numerous moving parts into an 18 -episode run, Moonrise struggles to maintain narrative cohesion.

Outside of the anime’s four leads, the supporting cast is visually striking but ultimately hollow, serving archetypal roles rather than contributing anything truly meaningful to the story.

Moonrise crashes and burns, weaving loose plot threads, themes, and action into a cohesive conclusion.
