Crunchyroll premiered the first trailer and new key art for “Onyx Equinox,” the upcoming Crunchyroll Original series.
“Onyx Equinox” follows a young Aztec boy named Izel who is saved from death by the gods and is chosen to act as ‘humanity’s champion,’ forced to discard his apathy toward his fellow man and prove humanity’s potential.
What you see in the trailer
The trailer gives us our first look at Izel’s journey. This journey will take him across ancient Mesoamerica to save humanity from a war between the gods. At the beginning of the trailer, we see a peaceful Aztec village that is being decimated by monsters. Many lives are lost as people fall between the canyons that are now opening up beneath their feet. There is a monster rising from the ground and others coming from the forest.
And so a group gathers to see what can be done and it is revealed that monsters have always been real and that humanity has been remade many times before. Izel is the chosen champion to save the world but he is reluctant to take on this new role. He receives a lot of encouragement from his friends but it is obvious that this is a burden he will carry alone. Regardless a group sets out with him on his attempt to save humanity. It looks as if there are many different players are trying to get control. And although not much is made clear from the trailer. We know that the stakes are high and that the world is in danger.
“Onyx Equinox” is a Crunchyroll Studios Production created by Sofía Alexander. Sofía is the Executive Producer, Creator, and Showrunner of Onyx Equinox. She’s worked on projects for Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Hasbro & Concept Art Disney Imagineering.
