Netflix's anime library is rather strong.
- Thread starter entremet
- Start date
Considering how fucking fantastic Mako's voice actor is, I can't imagine watching Kill la kill in english.
They're starting to dip their toes into it more and more, but if they pull the same shit they did with Man To Man people aren't going to care.

This. At first, I laughed at the OP but then I saw people list off a lot of good stuff on Netflix and I realized the reason I didn't think Netflix has a strong library is because I already saw a bunch of things on there years ago. Its a good starting point for the casual anime fan, but I'll be honest, I'm always craving for some more obscure things to show up on there but know they'll never show.
Still.... their anime section is atleast better than their horror section :/

I doubt there are many viewer swho watched 10.000 anime series. 2 new shows are perfectly acceptable. It is the older shows they should focus on bringing forth
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Kuromukuro. It's a pretty great fish-out-of-water sci-fi story, and it was one of the better shows from last year. But given how most anime fans consume currently-airing shows, it kind of got lost in the shuffle.
On a similar note, Children of the Whales is another Netflix-produced sci-fi/fantasy anime that just started airing in Japan, and it seems very promising. Hope it makes it to North America soon.

Same. As much as I love the show overall, this is the main reason I recommend it to no one and didn't purchase the discs. Bleh.

It sure is great on USA Netflix but still a bit meh on the Dutch one.
the entire series is actually on Hulu
just rewatched it and my god its so good
Also Most of Netflixs personal stuff has the shit tier 3D style berserk animation.....fucking pisses me off. STOP USING THE BERSERK 3D ANIMATION STYLE!!!!!!
I would rather take the hand drawn style easily over how bad the 3d is

I mean, it did its job. You were disgusted with the character who did it.
I do mention that scene if I recommend KLK to someone though, as a trigger warning thing.

Narrows it down eh.
Netflix is okay, but their model doesn't lend itself to releasing new episodes as they come out and instead do it all at once. So it's not bad when you miss a show but can binge on it, but miss out when a show you are looking forward to won't be available until well after the season wraps up. ID-0 was a nice binge watch for me, but Children of the Whales won't be available in the US until next year sometime unless you pirate it.
VRV is way better and has a much larger selection of anime. Anime Strike is a distant 3rd (or 4th depending on your views on the lack of Funi shows on VRV), but it seems to be scooping up some of the better exclusives.

Never said anything about the character. If anything its just disappointing.
Some of the originals and other stuff they have coming like the Godzilla movie are pretty solid/ im excited for them.
I think they're decent in general but there is a wee bit too much of a skew towards action/sci-fi/shounen type stuff. Apart from Mushishi and a few other they dont have a whole lot of variety.

My dinnertime go-to show was Hunter X Hunter, I'm quite peeved it was removed. Also on UK Netflix, so my selection is far more limited. I did however finally watch all of Death Note while they were promoting the awful-looking movie.
Little Witch Academia is very ligh thearted and funny. It's a great show.
Birdy the Mighty, though it's not on Netflix's streaming services. The first season is very light hearted. Always puts a smile on my face, when i watch it.
I'm hoping we will get a third season someday.
Like most things I think Netflix is just going to be producing more and more of its own anime content like they are most everything else. They already produce a ton of their own live action content and have already started pumping out a lot of Western style animation so a transition into making anime of their own makes sense.
I believe they have a few shows hitting soon like a Baki the Grappler anime, the Godzilla anime, Devilman by Yuasa, and so on.
I would also recommend Knights of Sidonia with its great setting. It's a very unique anime.
Ajin is another great one. With one of the best antagonists in anime.
They are in CG though. But if you want to experience some really great story and characters, then that shouldn't stop you.

Netflix's anime library is great for those casually looking to get into the medium. Has the 3 biggest hits of the last decade on it (SAO, AoT, OPM). Yeah, your mileage will vary with those series and there's way better stuff out there, but they're good gateway anime. Yeah Crunchyroll is stronger, but no shit, it's for those invested in the medium (or huge Dragonball fans).
Hulu does have a better selection though, since Funimation puts a lot of their stuff on there.
As for recommendations, Gurren Lagann is good. It gets perverted at times, but it's one of the best mecha shows ever made. It never stops ramping up.

I liked The Seven Deadly Sins, although I don't think it's a particularly high-quality anime and it has uncomfortable moments like when the main character will squeeze the tits of the girl he fancies when he's asking her out on a date or something.
And also there's no second season, but they did do a 4 episode interquel season which honestly was just frustrating.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
As a fan of both, I honestly wonder if anime fans or wrestling fans are more cynical about the product they spend money on.

I know that feel lol. It's probably my favorite series in the 20 or so years that I've watched anime. Very moving stuff
It's an adaptation of the VN, yeah. I think it's incredibly well done, and features the original JP cast from the VN. The VN is very good as well, if overly verbose.

After putting up with Panty and Stocking, Inferno Cop and Ninja Slayer, Kill la Kill felt like an oasis

I have an issue with Netflix anime.... Nearly none of it has English subtitles even though English is the official language in Malta. Instead I get Italian, sometimes French subs. I have complained with Netflix's live chat support but they always give me the pre-canned answer, that it depends on distribution rights and things like that and they can do nothing about it. What's the point of offering something which I cannot properly consume? Just to tick me off? How does this work?
My money is still on wrestling fans in that debate lol. At least when it comes to WWE.

Surprisingly no One Piece though, from Funimation or Crunchyroll.
My only wish is Ellation could work out some agreement with Funimation to be able to link accounts the way they do with Crunchyroll. I know it's harder since Ellation is CR's parent company, but I'd love for it to happen.

My bro gave me his info to log to Netflix. HD subscription. Checked LWA and visual quality for HD is so bad. Expected something better considering Youtube has much better streaming quality. Intro and Ending compression is even worse. Other series are probably better but I expected better quality for this show.
