Make My Day Trailer reveals an upcoming Japanese science fiction anime series, set to be released next month. Yasuo Ohtagaki, the acclaimed manga author known for his sci-fi spectacles Moonlight Mile and Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, has created an original story for a must-see sci-fi epic that brings together talent both from Japan and abroad.
Based on a story by Yasuo Ohtagaki, the series is directed by Makoto Honda and the screenplay is adapted by Yumiko Yoshizawa. Shoji Kawamori, known for designing well-known mechs including those in the Macross series, and Kiyotaka Oshiyama, designer of the demons in Devilman Crybaby, lend their talents to the mech designs.
In the series, Humans and a mysterious lifeform battle it out on an ice planet in this epic survival sci-fi from Yasuo Ohtagaki. The official synopsis reads, “The snowy, ice-covered planet Coldfoot is home to a precious energy-rich ore called – sig. On the surface, the planet seems to be a crime-free utopia, but in reality, prisoners are used for back-breaking sig mining. Jim, a young prison guard, rushes to the site of a sudden mining accident to find a mysterious creature attacking the humans.”

In the trailer, we see a bunch of people in breathing suits being given a briefing about the planet that they are about to enter. Coldfoot is a frozen hell that rejects living beings with a poisonous atmosphere. Apparently, these people are criminals who have been sent here to pay for their crimes.
But soon the dormant hell comes alive when a mysterious creature called ‘the swarm’ begins attacking all the miners, while they were trying to extract the sig. Not even knowing what they are fighting against, everyone’s lives are in danger and the chances of escape are very bleak.
