Pacific Rim: The Black — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While The Black carries over all the grit but little of the humor that distinguishes the Pacific Rim film franchise, its striking visuals and expansion of series lore will likely please Kaiju fans.

The latest iteration of the story is at once more expansive than the films and bleaker, though the anime influences still hold. Go to Full Review
Glen Weldon NPR 03/05/2021
Personally? Gimme cheesy (the big bowl of hot queso that is 2013's Pacific Rim) over gritty (the Fig Newton filling of the Netflix series) any day. Go to Full Review

4/5
Just as action packed and exciting as the original films, Pacific Rim: The Black also manages to be heartfelt with moments of real poignancy thanks to the underlying theme of family love. Go to Full Review

All in all, Pacific Rim: The Black is an interesting and enjoyable addition to the movie universe and a pretty good anime all on its own. Go to Full Review

Nick W 09/05/2024 Excellent show, way better than the movies! See more Ian W 03/03/2024 This is what the sequel should have been. It expands on the universe and its concepts. The characters feel real and emotional. The animation is great with some mistakes. Overall a great show and continuation of the pacific rim franchise. See more DJ W 08/15/2023 Amazing shows. Great Jaeger vs Kaiju battles, I love the whole mystery with boy and the plot is really good and compelling. Also, the animation is top notch BEAUTIFUL. Give this show a watch, it's really good See more Kenny W 07/11/2023 Terrible plot which does nothing to advance the movies, became filled with cliches and tropes of other more popular animes and easily had the laziest plot in recent animes. It's like it borrowed from other more popular shows just to turn in a very boring experience. AoT, it is not. See more Carlos T 04/22/2023 Minha opinião: Assisti as duas temporadas em 1 dia. Na verdade meu neto pediu para colocar um desenho e coloquei este. Ele assistiu uns 3 episódio e eu assisti as duas temporadas. Total de 14 episódio. Meu neto tem 7 anos, mas não recomendo para esta idade pois alguns momentos tem cenas um pouco fortes, melhor que sejam acima de 12 anos. Este anime me surpreendeu é um dos melhores animes que já assisti. Todo seu roteiro e estoria pode tranquilamente se tornar um filme, se seguirem exatamente o mesmo roteiro irá se tornar tão bão quanto os dois primeiros filmes. Senti que o #desenho foi produzido com muito carinho, pois sentimos os sentimentos seus sentimentos, caráter, medos, frustações, e vencendo e progredindo a cada episódio. E você sente isso e até mesmo na humanidade nos sistema Loa que é a IA do Jaeger Atlas Destryer que era para treinamento e não para combate, tanto que ele não tem armas. Então imagine os combates com os #kaidyus E ainda sendo Taylor e HAyley são adolescentes e irmãos. Onde Taylor é o irmão mais velho. Os irmãos estão em uma viagem em busca de seus pais que são comandantes de Jaeger e saíram para combate, mas nunca voltaram. Então os irmãos resolvem ir atrás deles e nesta caminhada encontram o Jaeger Atlas e encontram o garoto em um laboratório e os irmãos acolhem o garoto. E caminhando se encotram com a Mei uma guerreira do bando de Shane. E assim são levados para o QG de Shane, mas digamos que os ideais são bateram e Shane quer tomar o Jaeger. Assim os irmãos e o garoto fogem e nesta fuga Mei auxilia. E Shane vai segui-los. Nisto eles passam por perigo e o garoto se trnas forma em um kaidyu. E quando isto é revelado as bruxas começam a perseguir eles. E reencontram sua mãe que havia tido uma lavagem cerebral pela bruxa. Assim com a ajuda de Shane a mãe é liberta mas Shane morre e o garot é raptado pelas bruxas, conseguem resgata-lo mas a mãe acaba falecendo. Assim quando estão seguindo para a base de Sydinei, são perseguidos pelos kaidyus e as bruxas, assim ocorre o ultima batalha. E com o sacrifício final de Loa e Atlas eles vencem e os irmãos reencontram com o pai e apresentam seus novos irmãos o garoto e Mei. Muito bem feito os desenhos o enredo diálogos e toda a apresentação com uma boa dosagem de drama e superação onde não esqueceram de nenhum personagem. Parabéns a toda a produção. Vale apena assistir? Com certeza. Nota: 9 See more David W @Sternhammer 03/24/2023 Hugely enjoyable, beautifully animated, extremely well voice acted and expands on the lore in a very satisfying way. Enjoyed the darker tone of this very much even if it was a little less humorous than the movies. A very strong series. One of the best animated series I've seen in quite a while.
