Trese (stylized as TRESE) is a Netflix animated streaming series developed by Jay Oliva and produced by BASE Entertainment Studios. It is based on the eponymous comic book series created by author Budjette Tan and artist Kajo Baldisimo, loosely adapting Thirteen Stations and the first three books of the main series.
It might be a bit of a cop-out, but both the English and Filipino dubs of Trese are of equal quality. Both languages offer a great viewing experience thanks to awesome performances from the whole voice cast.

The story follows Alexandra Trese ( Liza Soberano in the original Filipino, Shay Mitchell in the English dub) as she navigates the supernatural and criminal underworld of Manila. The show, which includes ghosts, vampires, witches, and demons, premiered on Netflix on June 10. In each episode, Alexandra and her team work together to solve seemingly disparate crimes, such as the sacrificial murder of the famous White Lady ghost of Balete Drive. It’s a strange premise that garners its own questions, but it’s Alexandra’s job to find the answers. “The bigger question,” she says looking over the dormant specter of the White Lady, “is who would want to kill a ghost and why?” Such is the mystical, magical, and horrifying world of Trese. If you’re a veteran anime fan or genre enthusiast, Netflix’s Trese provides all the trappings of supernatural horror, thrilling action, and violent gore in anime form.
Demons, vampires, witches, and a city’s criminal underground — Netflix’s Trese gives horror fantasy fans everything and more. On the surface, the story and characters may sound familiar, with echoes of Penny Dreadful, Constantine, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Legend of Korra reverberating throughout (even Jay Oliva, who had worked on The Legend of Korra as a storyboard artist, serves as executive producer on Trese ). But these comparisons don’t take away from Trese ’s own successes. They just go to show how much the series, and the graphic novel it is adapted from, holds its own in the fantasy-horror genre. There is more to mine from the rich worldbuilding of Manila’s supernatural underworld, more places for the characters to grow and develop, and more inclusion from Filipino culture and folklore. The strong reception in the Philippines is promising, but a more global audience wouldn’t hurt either. Fans of Guillermo del Toro, anime, and fantasy horror in general can check out Trese on Netflix now .

Netflix is experimenting with multicultural Anime Shows/Films to expand its coverage and gather more intriguing tales worldwide. Well, it’s a laudable endeavor as many viewers (including me) are bored to death, watching “all American” narratives on the screen. A change is needed, and now it’s inevitable. Filipino animated series, Trese is an occult detective tale but captures much more realistic subjects through supernatural folklores. Some stories, figures, and characters that have never been experienced before.
Like so much new animation, Trese is styled after Japanese anime, but it’ s the first animated series from BASE Entertainment, a Jakarta/Singapore-based entertainment studio. It’s also the first Filipino-focused animated series made for a global audience. And it’s uncompromising in its cultural specificity.

Netflix’s animated show Trese hits the ground running with its portrayal of a Tikbalang, a Filipino folklore figure with both horse and human physical features. The show’s modern take on a drag race, which roars through the streets of Manila, feels like a scene out of a Fast and Furious movie. But it also encapsulates the mischievous, wild character of the Tikbalang without compromising its original myths, which is surprising, considering the series’ contemporary lens. The Tikbalang, like the other mythical beings in Trese, are treated with the utmost respect. Their stories are framed to be accessible to audiences around the world. Portrayals of folklore and mythological figures from Roman, Greek, and Egyptian pantheons in the West have been popularized by the visual and print media for years, but Filipino folklore has never hit the United States in a form like Trese.

Set in a Manila where mythical creatures of Philippine folklore hide amongst humans, Alexandra Trese goes head-to-head with a criminal underworld. Genre:
A detective animation series that adapted multiple Filipino folklores into its universe. The animation for the diverse monsters and creatures were pretty good. Although I desired more gores, they were still good enough to show the power of the monsters. The detective story was pretty decent. There wasn't much that I haven't seen before. Since I don't know anything about the folklore, I couldn't relate or had bingo moments to any of the creatures or stories or spells. However, Trese was a good characters. Her relationship with her parents and the responsibilities that she had to uphold, although not entirely new, were compelling that I could invest in. Overall, a decent thriller full of creatures. 7/10
