Milky☆Highway is now streaming on YouTube with English dub and subtitle options. This standalone CGI short, adapted from a manga, plunges viewers into a "discount cyberpunk" adventure across an interplanetary highway.
The story follows Makina, a cyborg, and Chiharu, a super-powered human, as they embark on a casual drive that quickly escalates into danger. The production emphasizes speed and an "unprecedented" tone, leaning heavily into its sci-fi and comedy genres with themes of space travel, AI, and crime.
While the animation studio behind this particular entry is not explicitly credited, the series is part of a larger franchise that includes Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express and its movie counterpart. With a MAL score of 7.03, Milky☆Highway offers a concise, albeit brief, glimpse into its unique brand of chaotic, futuristic road trip.
