A beautiful anime short set in the Blade Runner universe
28 September 2017
This third and last of the Blade Runner prequels (that is actually the first one, chronologically speaking) provides a glimpse into the events that happened soon after the original Blade Runner. Beautifully animated and directed by Shinichirô Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Animatrix, Samurai Champloo) Black Out 2022 is a 15 minutes must-see even if you're not a big Blade Runner fan, but plan on seeing the Blade Runner 2049 film because it provides some important elements to the story.

As I've already said in the Alien: Covenant prequel review, I really hope studios would start making more of these prequels as they actually get you in the mood for the actual film without spoiling anything, like trailers do, and also add a whole lot of substance to the overall universe.
