Me in the future: “Nobody watches anime anymore because it’s too crowded”
Earlier this month I started watching Dungeon Meshi for the first time and I liked it so much I watched through the japanese english and german dubs. If Netflix keeps making shows like it I’ll keep paying
Man, if only Disney could figure out how to promote the anime that it has rights to, it might actually make some money. Instead, they are all left to wither away in Disney jail.
Netflix are so fucking terrible for anime, though. The way they handle “simulcasts” is absolutely embarrassing, and their exit from the industry cannot come a moment too soon.
What did they do, the simulcast I mean? I don’t use Netflix.
Netflix don’t simulcast. They always delay Western releases, too. The way they handled the US release of Violet Evergarden is forever unforgivable (making Americans wait three months after literally every other country on the fucking planet). I’ll pirate anything Netflix ever make for that. Fuck them.

Surely that must mean they don’t need to raise their prices anymore, right?
Right?
