8 best anime on Netflix in October 2021

Bright: Samurai Soul

Release Date: October 12

When the Netflix original film Bright was first released back in 2017, audiences everywhere were astonished by how great of a release it was and demanded a sequel to the film as soon as possible. Though a sequel has not yet been given for this film, there is an anime series on the way that just might be the perfect substitution for your favorite Netflix movie.

The anime series Bright: Samurai Soul is set to be an extension of the 2017 film and will have just as many action-packed scenes as its predecessor. And the similarities don’t stop there as viewers will also get to see a very familiar blue creature that once worked alongside American actor Will Smith.

Check out the official trailer for Bright: Samurai Soul down below.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings actor Simu Liu will voice the role of Izno, Yuzu Harada will voice Sonya, and Fred Mancuso will voice Raiden. There’s so much more talent where that came from, but you’re going to have to tune into the release to know who else will lend their voice to this intriguing release.

Violet Evergarden: The Movie

Release Date: October 13

Coming up next on the list is none other than Voilet Evergarden: The Movie, which will serve as the latest installment to the heartbreakingly beautiful anime series Violet Evergarden.

In this new release, Violet will have to come to terms with losing her most cherished person, Gilbert Bougainvillea. Writing letters and being a doll has yet to fill the void in her heart, but there’s a chance that doing these things for the final time, for the one that she loves, will bring her some sort of solace. How will she fare? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

"As the world moves on from the war and technological advances bring changes to her life, Violet still hopes to see her lost commanding officer again."

This installment is sure to break your heart but will certainly mend the pieces shortly after. Don’t miss out on a single second of this critically acclaimed gem.

The last anime on this list is one that you may have been waiting to release all year!
