About Blade Runner: Black Lotus

Blade Runner: Black Lotus (BLADE RUNNER — BLACK LOTUS) arrives as an action anime (2021), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Los Angeles 2032. A young woman wakes up with no memories and possessing deadly skills.

Along the way, the only clues to her mystery are a locked data device and a tattoo of a black lotus. Putting together the pieces, she must hunt down the people responsible for her brutal and bloody past to find the truth of her lost identity.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Niander Wallace Jr. (Takehito Koyasu) and Elle (Arisa Shida) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 13 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Takehito Koyasu voicing Niander Wallace Jr. gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 2021, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
