Netflix decided to share all sorts of anime teasers on Twitter on October 26, 2020. One of the most notable announcements involved a more extended first look at an upcoming series, its Spriggan anime adaptation. A one minute clip that looked at a message on a tablet passed down warning about out-of-place artifact misuse and introduced Yu Ominae was shared.
This first Spriggan anime teaser is incredibly brief. The clip is mainly used to set the stage for things to come. It explains that a tablet passed down from an ancient civilization warned about their discoveries possibly endangering the world. It asked people who would find it to seal their work. From there, we see Yu, one of the Spriggan who work with ARCAM to keep these OOPArts from being misused.
Here’s the full clip. It follows the reveal of the series’ poster earlier in October 2020.
