Something exciting has happened, folks! Netflix’s new anime, Terminator Zero, has dropped, and it is causing chaos. Terminator Zero Season 1 has managed to get a perfect 100% on the Rotten Tomatoes score.

1. What is Terminator Zero About?
Terminator Zero is about the humanoid cyborg predator of mankind known as Terminator. When the AI Skynet gains awareness and turns on humans with the project -Judgement Day.
Many recent releases of anime series on Netflix have gained widespread fame. After anime like ‘The Blue Eye Samurai’ and ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’, Terminator Zero could be the next big thing.
With Timothy Oliphant as the infamously nightmarish assassin that just won’t give up until the targets are neutralized, and the release matching the date of the Judgement Day- August 29, the excitement is through the roof.
On The Judgement Day, the Skynet turns on the human race and begins an Armageddon, trying to wipe out all signs of intelligent life from the face of the Earth.
The original classic Terminator movies are certainly memorable, but Terminator Zero manages to break out of the rut while respecting the path previously tread. This might be the reason critics and fans alike have rated it 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.
2. Does Terminator Zero deserve 100% on Rotten Tomatoes?
Netflix’s Terminator Zero has done something that we have never seen before. A 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes upon release. This perfect debut is amazing to hear about, but is it really all that?
The story stays true to the essence of Terminator. There is a Judgement Day and the infamous cyborg assassin is still here, along with the woman that puts up a good fight against the rogue robots.
But a lot has been changed; the screenplay, directions, dialogues, and especially the animation can be said to be a work of art. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes are all in praise for the animation and the wonderful direction of the 8-episode series.
They all are happy that while staying true to its roots, Terminator Zero achieves the unexpected and forges its own path, risking the thorns but managing to bloom successfully.
The anime series actually considers the happenings in the Terminator series and even answers a few unanswered questions that have plagued viewers for decades and solves the mysteries, almost akin to a puzzle piece falling straight into its place.
In the last 30 years, any additions made to existing franchises haven’t achieved a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes; Terminator Zero manages to achieve this and makes the franchise proud.
Fans and critics alike are in praise for the series- one of them says -“Terminator Zero takes a fresh crack at the most familiar stuff from the Terminator franchise – twisty time-travel hijinks, machine-born sentience, human-cyborg conflict – and lends the story new direction.”
