Crunchyroll’s upcoming Latinx animated series, Onyx Equinox, has finally landed a release date today, after its late June reveal. The fantastical take on Mesoamerican cultures is helmed by Sofia Alexander (Infinity Train, Powerpuff Girls, Invader ZIM) and will be available to watch exclusively on Crunchyroll beginning November 21, with dubs in Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.

Onyx Equinox follows a young Aztec boy named Izel who is saved from death by the gods and is chosen to act as ‘humanity’s champion,’ forced to discard his apathy toward his fellow man and prove humanity’s potential on a journey that will take him across ancient Mesoamerica.
