Kuromukuro Season 1 arrives on Netflix

Having been snapped up by streaming service Netflix as a "Netflix original" at the dawn of the spring season, the first thirteen episodes of P.A. Works' currently airing mecha series Kuromukuro have now arrived on the service in English subtitled form.

Here's the plot synopsis from P.A. Works themselves:

During the construction of the Kurobe Dam, an ancient artifact is discovered. With this discovery, the United Nations Kurobe Laboratory is established at Kurobe dam and at this institute, intellectuals from all over the world are gathered to research the artifact. The children of these researchers, including the institute head's daughter, Yukina Shirahane, attend Tateyama International Senior High School.

One day, unidentified invaders fall from the sky and commence invasion. Yukina is attacked by one of the invaders but is saved by a mysterious man who has come out of the artifact, Kennosuke Tokisada Ouma.

You can find Kuromukuro Season 1 on Netflix UK - we expect the second season to arrive in early October when the series has finished airing in Japan.
