The Blade Runner universe is expanding again with an anime series that will air on Adult Swim in the U.S.

The cable channel has partnered with Alcon Television Group and anime streaming outlet Crunchyroll to produce Blade Runner — Black Lotus, a 13-episode series inspired by 2017's Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to Ridley Scott's 1982 classic.

The series' green light follows Alcon's deal with Titan Comics to continue the franchise in a series of comic books, with 2049 screenwriter Michael Green and Mike Johnson set to pen.

Details of the plot are being kept quiet for now, but Black Lotus will be set in the year 2032, in between the two films, and include some familiar characters from the Blade Runner universe.

Oh dear Christ in heaven, what a monstrosity. I get milking every last dollar out of something, but Jesus, this is bad. Can we just leave the best science fiction movie of all time alone already?

Just FYI, this is about BLADE RUNNER, not 2001, METROPOLIS or ALIENS.

The Mrs and I happened across this on HBOMax and decided to give it a try Sunday afternoon. We finished it last night. Beautiful animation, insane sound design, and an above average suspense/action plot that was somewhat predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. I hope they come up with a second season.

PS Almost forgot, KILLER soundtrack!
