Netflix to Produce 30 'New' Anime Series for 2018 Release

Simulcast shows properly or GTFO

I work in New York and I've seen printed advertisements for Neo Yokio and other netflix original shows around. Yet none for any of the exclusive anime titles that are under the "Netflix Original" branding, and I'm fairly confident that I'll be pretty sure I won't see any such ads any time soon, and that kinda bugs me.

The company aims for 50% original content in its entire library by the end of 2018.

That statement really needs some clarification, because as it reads, it's saying Netflix is looking to have only 60 titles on the service by the end of next year. That can't be right. And since it can't be right, I'm left wondering what they're actually intending.

you seem to be under two misconceptions the first that your tastes are some how superior and the second being that there is only fan service shows airing. I assume you can read since you wrote that post so maybe you should head over to https://myanimelist.net/anime/season and look at what is airing.

There is good anime, bad anime, bad quality anime, good quality anime, ambitious anime,etc, as there is good music and now we have plastic garbage auto tune singers, just as there are average x sport players and top players, that is the reality,if you accept it or not that is another thing entirely.

You are under the wrong assumption that just because we have some exceptions and we have one piece, dragon ball super, kids shows, Pokemon, the Japanese market its not contaminated and its healty, its NOT.

Anime like the one that Netflix is aiming to make or license exclusively its extremely rare in the Japanese market since a decade ago, why? Because that market is so busy to cater to the hardcore otaku fantasies of waifus and the like, why make a series like baki or risk it with originals when you have bigger possibilities for money by easily pandering to the moe otaku and fujoshi, you can get lucky and sell a ton of discs, release a lot of figures, events etc.

And when a studio wants to make something different it can get easily contaminated because committees demand that the show still panders to moe otaku primarily, one example of many? The shameful macross delta. Even Macross Frontier was contaminaked in the form of ranka lee as protagonist for starters and the recent delta was beyond shameful.

Just a couple weeks back I was in the Kyoto international anime fair and I found it extremely discouraging that all there was there was a shameful market for moe otaku and fujoshi, totally pointless fair if you are not a moe otaku or fujoshi wanting to purchase merchandise. I felt like I was totally wasting my time there and realizing I was stupidly positive that this was gonna be a more captivating and inspiring event, in fact I left early totally disappointed.

Now tell me again this kind of anime does not rule the Japanese market and has caused a serious stagnation, Japanese hardcore otaku are limitless gluttons.

Now I doubt Netflix will go out of the way to ask for modifications and inclusion to specifically and artificially pander to the Japanese otaku, so I see a great opportunity to reinvigorate anime again.

But I see a win win situation, the lot of you moe fanservice and fujoshi otaku can keep getting your fix while another player enters the game with a more international aim and diversity in productions. Just like we had before 2006-2007.

And yet neither Netflix nor Amazon has managed to get streaming rights for Eva.

Is it not just price? Have Gainax and Khara tangled themselves into a Macross-esque legal snarl?
