As Netflix continues to evolve, it draws in shows and concepts from a more varied array of sources. While this may sour some, it leads to things like Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles — our top pick in the service’s monthly list of titles debuting in the month ahead. Based on Stan Sakai‘s Usagi Yojimbo, the program centers on Yuichi, a descendant of the comic book’s Miyamoto Usagi, as he trains to become a true samurai. Alongside a group of misfits, including a roguish bounty hunter, a cunning ninja, an acrobatic pickpocket, and a faithful pet lizard, he battle various threats and monsters from another dimension. The premise may be somewhat familiar to readers of Sakai’s Space Usagi series, which also focused on a descendant of the original character, but it also represent the first full Usagi animated series (even if Miyamoto Usagi has been featured in every iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). The program debuts April 28th.
Of course, the show is just one of the many, many things Netflix will offer in April. So take a look at the list bellow of everything coming to the service and leaving in the next month. Also, it should be noted, after seemingly a decade, Star Trek: The Next Generation will leave on April 1st, and that’s no foolin’.
