“Very fitting the team is the one that made Ghost in the Shell. This might beat all the recent films in the franchise,”commented one X user, joined by another, “Hoping this will be the thing that saves the Terminator franchise.”
“Wow, I am actually very excited about the idea of a Terminator anime. I love the movies and watched them all with my dad growing up. I’d love to see this nail it,”shared another on Reddit.
