Crazy to see Netflix own 4 of the top 10 animes in reddit karma. They really seem to be going strong on anime as a growth engine.

Yeah, Netflix has been stepping up their anime game. They have gotten on board (mostly) with the weekly release schedule and even agreed to co-license a series like Dragonball Daima so that it also releases on Crunchyroll. I was worried that Crunchyroll was becoming a bit of a monopoly after the Funimation merger, but honestly Netlix is probably putting up a better fight than HiDive right now.

Probably best case scenario as a fan to be honest. Crunchyroll still is the best value for money (at least in the US) but having a big player like Netflix around should keep them on their toes. Netflix also treats anime so much better than Disney or Amazon.
