Blade Runner: Black Lotus Official Trailer: Experience the Future

Less than a month after the characters and impressive English and Japanese voice cast for the upcoming animated series Blade Runner: Black Lotus were revealed, Adult Swim brought the original animated series (virtually) to Comic-Con@Home on Friday and introduced the world to the official trailer. Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) and Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) direct the series, which is produced by Alcon Entertainment and animation studio Sola Digital Arts, with Shinichiro Watanabe serving as a creative producer. Adult Swim will air the series as part of its weekend "Toonami" anime programming block, while Crunchyroll will stream the series in Japanese with subtitles (with both offering the series worldwide outside of Asia).
