The title is a portmanteau of "New York" and "Tokyo," and both names and describes the futuristic city this all takes place in.
The art style is this not-quite-anime form that still looks and feels cheap as hell.
The main character is voiced by Jaden Smith and feels more or less inspired by his Twitter account - all existential nonsense and philosophical mumbo jumbo mixed with being totally "on brand."
The premise is some sort of half-spoof-half-celebration of vapid materialistic culture run amok in a techno-utopia.
The length is six episodes, and thank goodness for that.
The platform? Oh baby, you know this is Netflix. But apparently it was a leftover show from Fox and FX's ADHD block.
It's not very good, but it's an interesting kind of not very good - occasionally funny, fully self-confident, proudly and boldly about whatever it is it's about. This isn't something worth seeking out by any stretch, but if you're looking for something absurd, give it a go.
