‘Neo Yokio’
Created by Ezra Koenig from the band Vampire Weekend and voiced by Jaden Smith, “Neo Yokio” is an American-Japanese show that is delightful in its weirdness. It’s set in an alternate timeline of New York, in which the city is constantly under threat of being overrun by demons were it not for the efforts of “Magistocrats”, high-society magicians. The show satirizes the rich and famous, and its dry, sardonic jokes tackle wealth and status. This anime proved to be too unusual for a broad audience, however, and it was canceled after only 7 episodes.
