At first glance, Moonrise seemed poised to be a global anime phenomenon. Produced by the acclaimed WIT STUDIO (Attack on Titan, Ranking of Kings), the 18-episode sci-fi epic boasted a dream team: director Masashi Koizuka (who helmed some of Attack on Titan’s most iconic seasons), writer Tow Ubukata (Psycho-Pass), and character designer Hiromu Arakawa (the legendary mangaka behind Fullmetal Alchemist). With Netflix’s backing and a premise blending high-concept action and existential drama, it had breakout potential. But when it premiered on April 10, it wasn’t just quiet—it was almost invisible. With minimal promotion, Moonrise struggled to find the spotlight amid Netflix’s crowded slate.
