Netflix's adaptation of the popular Korean webtoon Lookism is now available to stream, featuring a full English dub and subtitles. The series hails from Studio Mir, the South Korean animation house renowned for its work on Netflix's The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and all seasons of The Legend of Korra.
The eight-episode original net animation (ONA) dives into the life of a high school student who discovers he can switch between his original body and a perfect, muscular physique whenever he sleeps. This supernatural premise fuels a narrative packed with schoolyard drama, bullying, and high-octane martial arts action as he navigates the harsh realities of his new life.
Lookism quickly made waves, entering Netflix's Global Top 10 for non-English TV shows shortly after its release, standing out as the sole animated entry. The series offers a compelling blend of intense action sequences and relatable themes of appearance and social hierarchy, making it a noteworthy addition to Netflix's growing catalog of anime adaptations.
