Looking good! I'm liking this selection. Also didn't know Little Witch Academia was coming on the 15th!

We've started working on the translation for B The Beginning (very early on, though). The show seems nice, but due the nature of the work we're doing we can't really see it properly. The animation is good at least. It reminds me of Psycho Pass for some reason.

 

[godofcookery]

!!! Devilman: Crybaby !!! Something seemed so Ping Pong about it when i watched the trailer. One of my fave series, but then i don't watch much anime. This is definitely getting watched though.

 

[Instro]

Pretty cool lineup, I appreciate Netflix's activity in this realm. Devilman obviously stick out immediately as a must watch, but most everything on there sounds like something I will at least check out.

Oh no.

They're both Yuasa shows after all, and he has a very distinct style. Devilman is even more Yuasa than Ping Pong was, with how conservative Ping Pong's production was out of necessity. One shot of the hands reaching up in this trailer looked straight out of the Kaiba OP.

No more Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress? Or was that Amazon that did that one?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

That was Amazon in partnership with Fuji TV's noitaminA. More Kabaneri will be coming from them next year.

 

[Rafavert]

Oh no.

Style/animationwise =p the content is only similar since they're both focused around cops.

 

[Ryuukan]

this reminds me of a gem from duckroll about the launch of anime strike

Kabaneri is getting a second season in 2018

gonna take a wild guess that anime strike won't be around by then

 

[duckroll]

Yeah I think it won't. It'll be Amazon Prime Anime.

 

[Ryuukan]

Yeah I think it won't. It'll be Amazon Prime Anime.

they'll split the subscription by genre, all anime access for $50/month

 

[Alex_Mexico]

No one's going to comment on the impossibly short skirt of AICO's schoolgirl protagonist? Did she really have to be in that pose almost practically showing her ass in the freaking poster?

Anime, its so hard to like you sometimes.

 

[Anung]

Just Devilman and Godzilla for me. The rest looks like a mixed bag.

 

[Faynwulf]

Day 1 for a well done Baki anime

Also F that moe stuff. If Netflix never pays for Moe content, I'll be a happy camper.

Same here. Baki could either be really good or the worst thing ever.

And fuck Moe/SoL Anime. If you watched one you watched them all.
That shitty Otaku bait kills/killed Anime.

 

[O Canada Our Home and Native Land]

Make Anime Great Again - Netflix

 

[Geno Breaker]

Can't wait to see all of the momentum Shin put into the Godzilla series get destroyed by three rushed, low frame rate CGI anime flicks. :^|

No one else commented because you're seeing things that aren't there.

 

[petran79]

Hope they dont get broke in 2018

 

[Nia]

A.I.C.O Incarnation and Godzilla have my interest.

 

[Foxy the Fox]

That sounds just like Polygon Pictures :^)

You can watch other series, maybe.

Also this.

hahaha no.

Moe pays the bills.

Absolutely, I demand that someone at Bones fixes that picture with realistic skirt physics!

 

[Nightwing123]

Cool I'll definitely be watching some of these. I love me some anime.

 

[brinstar]

I never thought I'd see Cannon Busters again

 

[Human Resources]

Yoooooooooooo

BAKI?!


Fuckin Baki?!!" *subs*

almost my exact reaction
*holds Netflix even tighter*

 

[Nasbin]

I see no moé/SoL shows in that lineup. Stay losing, Netflix.

What you're telling me here is that Netflix is going to save anime.

 

[Mortemis]

Netflix bringing some good looking shoes. I canceled my CR sub months ago, and while I'll probably get it back whenever JoJo shows up again Netflix is becoming good enough to give me my anime fix for the year.

 

[jmdajr]

Well very unexpected.

 

[Rhaknar]

a saint seiya reboot?

 

[Alrus]

I'm curious to see how they adapt Saint Seiya into a mini series.

 

[jmdajr]

Shit I thought it said Devil May Cry.

Fucking DEVILMAN!

 

[duckroll]

I'm curious to see how they adapt Saint Seiya into a mini series.

What we know so far is that it is a reboot, from scratch. The first season will have 12 episodes of 30 minutes each, and will cover the Galaxy Wars and Silver Saint arcs. It's implied there will be more in the future. The most interesting thing about this project though, is that it is produced in Japan, directed and designed by anime staffers at Toei, but it is written by an team of American cartoon writers.

Lots of intriguing stuff here!

 

[Kickz]

Noe moe garbage is a good thing 😀

 

[Dahbomb]

This is relevant to my interest.

How long until Netflix commissions a Berserk anime?

 

[Moose Biscuits]

I don't think there's really anything to worry about with Netflix killing other services, your comment just took my surprise as I quite frankly think there's a glut of SoL stuff as it is.

You're probably correct, I can certainly understand why people are welcoming this. There has been somewhat of a dearth of good action shows; I had to struggle to name any that I'd watched in the past couple of years, whereas give me five minutes and I could rattle off a long list of SOL/moe in the same timespan.

That said, that's probably more my tastes than anything. Haven't watched Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, Kabaneri, Drifters, Bungou Stray Dogs, Mob Psycho, OPM, etc.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Does Netflix like throwing money down money holes?

 

[Killer Queen]

Holy shit, Canon Busters finally got picked up!

 

[Dali]

How many of these are going to be cellshaded cg garbage?

 

[Vic_Viper]

No Knights of Sidonia!?!

 

[The Technomancer]

All of these series look great.

 

[DMONKUMA]

How many of these are going to be cellshaded cg garbage?

It seems only two are CG being Godzilla and Saint Seiya.


Devilman is definitely the standout and the one I'm mosted excited to see with Baki and Godzilla following closely.

 

[Tizoc]

Holy shit
Baki anime in 2018
Is this real life?

 

[TheMan]

Good on Netflix for going in balls deep, no condom.

I hope they buy some other series to release this year, but I can be patient I guess.

 

[KidGalactus]

Oh shit, Cannon Busters!

A.I.C.O Incarnation (director: Kazuya Murata, BONES

Looks like BONES has been reading Roadside Picnic

 

[immortal-joe]

Baki is the low-key megaton here. Need Yojiro Hanma to stop earthquakes with his hands.

 

[blakep267]

So are they going after Crunchyroll or something?

Nah. Crunchyroll gets subs and simulcasts of way now shows than Netflix. Netflix just produces new content here and there. But it's not an alternative if you wanna watch anime

This is good news.

 

[Ryuukan]

there are literally people posting in this very thread saying they've switched to Netflix for anime

and again, simulcasts mean nothing if you're not interested in whats being simulcast

 

[Moose Biscuits]

I've decided I'm not going to be too concerned.

If crunchyroll dies then fansubbing will pick up the slack on stuff Netflix decides not to bring over.

 

[JimJamJones]

Shit I thought it said Devil May Cry.

Fucking DEVILMAN!

So did I and now I'm sad.

 

[blakep267]

How though? I look at Netflix anime section all the time. They maybe have 20-30 shows and a bunch of them are madocka magicka series or random shows that frankly nobody cares about. I really want to watch the second bleach movie. If your actually into new anime every season or wanna watch one piece db super,boruto, s2 of AoT MHA etc, youd either be using CR or Hulu.
