Rooster Teeth?s new animated series gen:LOCK from Gray Haddock is a near-future sci-fi fantasy set in a world where war is waged with hulking, humanoid mechas operated by hotshot pilots.
The anime which inspired gen:LOCK are written all over the show, and its hero, Julian Chase ( Michael B. Jordan) immediately reads as exactly the kind of character you?d expect to be heading up the fight to save humanity.
Gizmodo spoke with Jordan recently, and he was adamant that Chase isn?t your prototypical anime hero because gen:LOCK isn?t your traditional anime.
It?s very much a Western product and, according to Jordan, he?s the kind of character who perfectly embodies how the series wants to pay homage to the genre that made its existence possible, while also being something unique.
