Next up, she’ll try to make more history by teaming up with the hugely successful anime brand Crunchyroll to create a franchise of her own. It’s called Dark Star Squadron and a provided press release describes it as “an epic animated space opera.” It follows four cadets at a space academy who steal a starship for a joy ride and return to find that their school has been destroyed and fellow students are missing.
