Hulu and Disney+ have released the live-action/anime hybrid Japanese Hulu Original series “Dragons of Wonderhatch,” and here’s what you need to know.
The Details
Born in our “real world” with sound-color synesthesia, a unique ability that allows her to see colors when she hears certain sounds, Nagi has spent her entire life feeling like she doesn’t belong.
Dreaming of one day being able to fly, Nagi will soon come face to face with Thaim, another misfit from a different world.
Born in Upananta, Thaim has long been treated like an outcast for his inability to hear the voices of the dragons that inhabit his land.
With the floating islands of Upananta slowly beginning to fall from the sky, the two misfits will set off on an epic adventure spanning both live-action and animated worlds in “Dragons of Wonderhatch.”
The series is directed by live-action director Kentaro Hagiwara and animation director Takashi Otsuk.
The cast includes Mackenyu, Sena Nakajima, Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Masaki Miura, Riko Narumi, Sumire, and Go Morita.
“Dragons of Wonderhatch” will stream simultaneously on Hulu and Disney+, beginning with a two-episode premiere on December 20.
