Right now you can watch SPRIGGAN in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 69 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Chiaki Kobayashi anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, SPRIGGAN earns its spot. SPRIGGAN uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. An ancient civilization's relics on Earth hold dangerous powers — it's up to ARCAM Corporation's Spriggan agents to keep them out of the wrong hands. Chiaki Kobayashi and Yohei Azakami lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It was aired in 2022. What separates SPRIGGAN from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

SPRIGGAN is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. World Trigger is the obvious comparison, but SPRIGGAN earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Chiaki Kobayashi anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.

SPRIGGAN wrapped up in 2022 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
