The acclaimed 2014 sci-fi mecha film Expelled from Paradise is now streaming on Netflix, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The movie, a collaboration between Toei Animation and Nitroplus, garnered critical praise and won Best Animation of the Year at the 24th Japan Movie Critics Awards.
Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity lives in a virtual world, the story follows Angela Balzac, a security agent dispatched to the desolate real world to hunt down a cyber-terrorist. The film explores themes of artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the nature of humanity, all rendered in Graphinica's distinctive full CGI animation style.
While the film was originally released in 2014, its availability on a major streaming platform makes it an accessible watch for fans of mecha and thought-provoking science fiction. It also serves as a lead-in to the later anime sequel, Rakuen Tsuihou: Kokoro no Resonance.
