In Netflix's latest move towards more diverse formats in their works, they're not stepping forward with their first-ever original anime, from scratch: a new 12-part series called Perfect Bones. Of course, Netflix is bringing some of the most successful people on the field for the project, including Kazuto Nakazawa, the director of the O-Ren Ishii anime sequences in Kill Bill Vol. 1.

Netflix announced the new project through a press release on their website, getting deeper into who's behind Perfect Bones. Besides Nakazawa's direction, Netflix is also teaming up with Production I.G., a company that has in the past brought to life projects like Attack on Titan and both seasons of the Ghost in the Shell TV adaptation.

Understandably, the massive streaming site has joined forces with some of the best people in the anime industry for this massive new project. Making history, once the series is out, it will be the first time ever that one anime show is available in such a massive release: 190 countries around the world and more than 75 million Netflix users will be able to stream the show as soon as it's out.

The series, which sounds a little on the dystopian future like of Akira or Ghost in the Shell, will be set in a time where scientists have attempted to make the "perfect human" to create universal peace -- but the prototypes, not yet fully trained, are kidnapped by an evil organization set on world domination.

IGN reports that, while this will mark the first time Netflix creates an anime show from scratch, in the past the site has already gotten exclusive streaming rights for this format outside of Japan.

The shows Knights of Sidonia, Glitter Force and The Seven Deadly Sins have been playing exclusively on Netflix for a while now. It seems the company has decided it was time to jump on the original content bandwagon on this genre as well.
