At the start but it gets profoundly ridiculous and over the top in short time. For example, one man basically single handedly ended the Vietnam war and subjugated the US presidents to the point that George Bush Jr was his valet. Another story arc is about the cloning of Miyamoto Musashi who is basically an unstoppable martial arts monster.

BAKI?????
Netflix won.
No, it's much, MUCH better.
It's an absolutely over-the-top martial arts masterpiece. Only 26 episodes, though? I hope it does well enough so Baki fans can get their
Netflix won.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Spriggan every couple of years I remember this movie. A series would be great just give me 13 - episodes by Production I.G.

This may be why Sony bought Funimation. Glad to see this on Netflix's part.

Well they can get paid in Japan. Good animes will still get great views on Netflix.
Shit you can't even tell people you watch anime in Japan because of all the rampant Moe crap.

Plus Netflix Japan is filled with anime. They get almost every everything once the anime season is over. Too bad they don't translate for foreigners living in Japan. I'm trying to fight that battle now but I can understand due to liscensing issues.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Unless AT&T has bigger plans, buys the remaining of Otter Media and it's assets (Crunchyroll, Fullscreen, among others) and mixes it with their Time Warner acquisition. Could be interesting.
I think this may just be trying to expand their market in Japan / SE Asia. They've already created a bunch of Asian Dramas if I recall correctly.
Of the anime, the only one that really sounds interesting was the Saint Seiya. I've tried rewatching the original series and it's definitely dated, but has some neat concepts.

DEVILMAN looks SICK. Keep this shit coming, Netflix.
This! I think its affecting more European countries. Our selection in Portugal is rather poor too. Heck, we have Sinbad's Adventure, a Magi spinoff, but not Magi...

It's interesting that they're calling their Saint Seiya series "Knights of the Zodiac".
But it would still be a really smart move on Netflix's part to develop a new Captain Tsubasa or even a new Hungry Heart series.
I'd say that Saint Seiya/Caballeros del Zodiaco is way more popular in LATAM than Captain Tsubasa/Super Campeones. But both had new series that weren't all that popular in LATAM.

It would be extreamly painful...
Now you have my attention.
Clearly duckroll was too ashamed of his words and deeds to post it.
Edit: It was literally posted in this thread, nevermind me.
Which one? The original old one, or that little thing they put out last year? I hope the animation for this new show matches what they released last year for thhe Baki anniversary.

Alright, that looks dumb, much more my kind of speed! Thanks!
I would hesitate to classify it as such.
As the resident BONES shill, I wish I could say it will definitely be awesome, but Kazuya Murata's track record on TV shows hasn't been the best. Both Gargantia and Kado had really interesting ideas but execution that left stuff to be desired. Hopefully AICO is more Gargantia than Kado though.
Now if only Netflix would fund a Masahiro Ando BONES movie called Stranger 2.... *cough*
The old one.
Studio choices are ace actually, especially BONES. Compared to their attempts before it seems like they're learning.. Shame Berserk is in another studio's hands as I think it would have been a great choice for Netflix streaming considering the content. Maybe in 2019 we can see Claymore at least..

I'm in the mood to watch an anime on Netflix. No waifus. Sci fi is a plus. Haven't watched anything consistently in almost a decade. Although I did watch and enjoy Castlevania recently.
What's the best available shows fitting those criteria? An easy watch too. I can't commit to anything that gets good after 100 epsidoes.

Nah, Urobuchi was hired from the start to write a Godzilla movie and he came up with the idea.
Try Knights of Sidonia. Maybe Kuro Mukuro.
Under the Dog 2
Blame! (it's only a single movie)
Kuromukoro (26 episodes, complete story)
Possibly Knights of Sidonia.
