"You guys just love drama," she joked of the anime fandom.īefore landing the deal with Netflix, Rodriguez revealed that they shopped the show to "different people who loved the idea of the show but didn't know who the audience would be for it, and therefore were afraid to do it. "I did not know how close these worlds are, telenovelas and anime," said Mexican telenovela icon Angélica Vale, who plays Garcia, a young police officer who falls into the chaos on what is supposed to be a quiet patrol in a sleepy town. The cast discovered that this mixture of cultural influences worked surprisingly well. The anime style gives a gritty feel, and this is definitely an adult show, with abundant violence, gore, and profanity. After demonic monsters attack their small town, they must team up with a local police officer and an American drug enforcement agent to battle the ruthless cartel behind the mayhem.

The series centers around a trio of Mexican orphans who have been trained in martial arts by a Chinese sensei who took them in as children years ago.
Developing the series, he added, "was a little bit of Brad and I doing a duet of 'My Favorite Things' and bringing in Kung Fu and Mexican culture and Mexican cinema and mysticism and all kinds of stuff in this soup that became Seis Manos." "I've described the show as Machete meets Kill Bill on the set of Coco," said Alvaro Rodriguez, who created the show with Brad Graeber of Powerhouse Animation, the studio behind the Castlevania TV series. At a panel at New York Comic Con, the co-creator and two of the voice actors discussed the importance of this unique melding of styles. The eight-episode series, which was released earlier this week on Netflix, is a bloody and violent mix of martial arts, supernatural mystery, and crime drama.
