Gravitation on Human Target

Humberto Saabedra

Footage from the 2001 Gravitation anime adaptation has popped up on Fox’s action/adventure drama Human Target. The scene is set during the flight of the main character Christopher Chance to rescue a captured aid worker in the episode “A Problem Like Maria”.  Newly recurring character Ames (played by Janet Montgomery) happens to be watching Gravitation while the rest of the crew is planning how to free Maria’s husband.
