{{Nihongo|Neo Yokio|ネオ・ヨキオ|lead=yes}} is an American adult animated television series created by Ezra Koenig of American rock band Vampire Weekend, and produced by Japanese anime studios Production I.G and Studio Deen. The first season, consisting of six episodes, premiered on Netflix on September 22, 2017. The Christmas special Neo Yokio: Pink Christmas was released on December 7, 2018.
Plot
Netflix's press release describes Neo Yokio as the "greatest city in the world", a modern-day alternate timeline New York where Magicians saved the city from ruin by demons in the 19th century, gaining a place in the upper echelons of society and becoming known as "Magistocrats". The series revolves around Kaz Kaan (Jaden Smith), a vain and wealthy Magistocrat and his mecha butler Charles (Jude Law), as he balances a vapid and decadent life as a fashionista in the city with his demon-hunting duties managed by his stern Aunt Agatha (Susan Sarandon).{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}
Kaz has taken to self-pity and "melancholy" after his recent break-up with investment banker Cathy (Alexa Chung) and only wishes to live a life of luxury with his socialite friends Lexy (The Kid Mero) and Gottlieb (Desus Nice). His rival is Arcangelo (Jason Schwartzman), an old money scion who belittles Kaz's "neo riche" status, and the two are often in competition for the top spot on the Bachelor's List, a gigantic public billboard of Neo Yokio's most eligible bachelors. Former fashion blogger Helena St. Tessero (Tavi Gevinson) becomes re-acquainted with Kaz in the first episode after he performs an exorcism on a possessed Chanel suit. However, the possession leaves Helena disillusioned with Neo Yokio and the capitalist system, eventually leading her to become a hikikomori, an anti-capitalist critic and a foil to Kaz's vapid focus on fashion and social status.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}

Production
Neo Yokio was originally announced, without a title, at Production I.G.'s panel at Anime Expo in 2015. The series was originally intended to run as part of Fox's Animation Domination High-Def late night block, which had just transitioned from the Fox network to sister cable network FXX earlier that year. No further details about the series were announced in the months following, and Animation Domination High-Def ceased operations in 2016.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}
While the writing and post-production were done in the United States, the character design, pre-production and storyboards were created in Japan and much of the animation was carried out in South Korea.
On September 7, 2017, Netflix announced they had acquired the unaired Neo Yokio series to stream on their service, labeling it as a Netflix Original Series.{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}}

Reception
The series received mixed reviews, with a common criticism being the main character Kaz Kaan. Mike Toole from Anime News Network called the show "nigh-unwatchable codswallop", expressing issues with the bad voice acting of its cast, and with its poor animation and writing.{{cite web|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/neo-yokio/.121543|title=Neo Yokio Review|first=Mike|last=Toole|website=Anime News Network|date=September 19, 2017|access-date=September 26, 2017|archive-date=September 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926191034/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/neo-yokio/.121543|url-status=live}} Julia Alexander of Polygon called the show a poor attempt to bring Jaden Smith's Twitter persona into a series as Jaden's character Kaz is annoying, self-centered, narcissistic and infuriating rather than likable.{{cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/19/16330214/neo-yokio-jaden-smith-vampire-weekend-netflix|first=Julia|last=Alexander|title=Neo Yokio is a bad, attempted homage to Jaden Smith's strange Twitter persona|website=Polygon|date=September 19, 2017|access-date=September 26, 2017|archive-date=December 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171229040608/https://www.polygon.com/2017/9/19/16330214/neo-yokio-jaden-smith-vampire-weekend-netflix|url-status=live}}
IGN gave it a negative review, with reviewer Miranda Sanchez criticizing the artwork, calling it humorless, and saying that it "feigns sincerity in any serious issue it tackles".{{cite news |last=Sanchez |first=Miranda |date=September 19, 2018 |title=NEO YOKIO: SEASON 1 REVIEW |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/09/19/neo-yokio-season-1-review |work=IGN |access-date=December 7, 2018 |archive-date=December 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209123622/https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/09/19/neo-yokio-season-1-review |url-status=live }} Dana Schwartz of Entertainment Weekly gave the first season a positive review, saying it was "both deeply ironic and entirely deadpan and we should be so grateful that this vanity-project-cum-genius-conceptional-art-piece somehow exists in the real world".{{cite magazine |last=Schwartz |first=Dana |date=September 25, 2017 |title=Neo Yokio: The best out-of-context quotes from Jaden Smith's new animated show |url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/09/25/neo-yokio-best-quotes/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=December 7, 2018 |archive-date=December 9, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209124524/https://ew.com/tv/2017/09/25/neo-yokio-best-quotes/ |url-status=live }}
Among the more positive reviews was Clio Chang's in The New Republic, who described Smith's performance as "exquisitely deadpan [..] that serves to heighten his detached snobbery" and that Neo Yokio "mostly feels like an introduction to what could be a really groundbreaking show", while also calling out its "cringe-worthy moments".{{cite magazine|url=https://newrepublic.com/article/145023/neo-yokio-satire-one-percent-loving-tribute|first=Clio|last=Chang|title=Is Neo Yokio a Satire of the One Percent?

Mandelbaum at Gizmodo compared the show to "a six episode long dril tweet" and "Gossip Girl as told by a stoned Tim and Eric fan", praising its surreal humor and finding the show's depiction of contemporary urban life "far closer to reality—albeit a ridiculous one—than its premise may suggest".{{cite web|url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/i-lived-neo-yokio-1819088689|title=I Lived Neo Yokio|first=Ryan F.|last=Mandelbaum|website=Gizmodo|date=October 3, 2017|access-date=October 6, 2017|archive-date=October 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171006094432/https://io9.gizmodo.com/i-lived-neo-yokio-1819088689|url-status=live}}
