Couldnt have said it better @Kougeru Netflix can just go and bite themself bunch of dickheads. I also really enjoy watchin anime weekly the excitment of what could happen next week and discussing the current episode is all part of the fun and being few months later just kills it all and you stumble upon tons of spoilers on social media can just go off from twitter and facebook then for thoose few months or any anime related forums because else youll sooner or later get a spoiler >_> |

See the thing that annoys me is that people are here getting mad at folks for wanting to watch something weekly instead of binge watching. I prefer that because I actually do watch a lot of anime and I do use paid services. I pay for Funimation, HiDive, Crunchyroll and even Anime Strike. I'm currently watching 59 shows this season and I generally watch over 50 a season. Someone like me who does spend thousands of dollars on merchandise and hundreds on subscription fees is entitled to the opinion that whenever you come out of nowhere and disrupt a system of delivery that is the standard for the fandom to appeal to people outside of it then that is shitty. Why can't they release it weekly for the actual fans then the people who binge can just watch it when it's done like how it goes here? Also I'll even venture to say Amazon is better than Netflix because at least they show their shit weekly. They might have the worst communication with the community and they obviously don't care about the anime fans at all but I know I'll at least get to see my damn shows that week if it's airing. I'm not gonna wait 5 months for Violet Evergarden just like I didn't wait for LWA, Kakegurui, Fate Apocrypha, ID-0 or anything else. fudge em.

That has to be one of the most nonsensical things I've ever read. If Netflix shows an anime in Spring rather than Winter - it's not "backlog", it's "airing in Spring". It's complete bull to complain that you would have had time in Winter, but somehow you won't in Spring. If the show is important to you - you'll make time, regardless of the season it airs. |

It makes perfect sense. It's pushing an additional show into the next season on top of the other few dozen somebody is already going to be watching during that period. Cue someone telling people how they used to have to hike thirty miles uphill both ways barefoot through ten feet of snow to get their recursively copied VHS fansubs... People used to have to hunt and butcher their own food too, but they still have a right to complain if a restaurant undercooks their steak. Times change and expectations follow. |

Those of you defending Netflix are missing the point. People who are used to watching simulcasts, within days or hours of Japanese broadcast, are not going to sit around and wait for Netflix to release this show 3 months late. They will have an alternative, downloading/streaming an illegal fansub of the show. If Netflix isn't interested in catering to this segment of the anime market, that segment will watch the show through other means, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
For example, Kakegurui and Fate/Apocrypha are currently the top two summer shows on MAL right now. This implies that even though Netflix hasn't streamed those two shows yet, a lot of people are still watching it outside of Japan. Netflix clearly doesn't care about this segment of the market, and the Japanese production committees are probably pleased at the large bags of money Netflix handed them, but long term, it will teach people that they really don't need to pay to watch anime, since they can download/stream it for free. |

The difference is that those shows were simultaneously released world-wide. No one was waiting for months while they streamed elsewhere. Not even remotely comparable. In fact, many here are thrilled with Netflix getting involved in that kind of original production, as am I. Regardless of that though, your logic is incredibly flawed in yet another way. No one is obligated to be a fan of everything. If people care about some shows more than others, they are entitled to care more about how those shows are treated. I'm sure you have your own preferences just as everyone else does.

The real question is why should I HAVE to wait. I don't care about Netfilx. If I can't watch it weekly from them I'll sail the seas. I don't care HOW I watch it, but I'm going to watch it. Let me put it to you in a simple manner: I don't want to binge. I think binging anime is stupid, especially after it has already aired. If people want to binge, that's their right. But forcing people to wait 4-5 month is BS and I don't have to stand for it. Netflix: saving fansubbing one license at a time. Not that I'm complaining. |

Listen, guys. I prefer binging over simulcasting for my own reasons, but let's not suddenly claim that a company going against the industry standard isn't a legitimate reason to be mad.
I'm probably going to skip this show now, like Fate/Apocrypha. I have enough series each season, and this license killed all the enthusiasm I had. Thank all that is holy Ancient Magus Bride went to Crunchy... |

F****ck netflix they ruin simulcast i am pretty sure they are gonna do the same with The Seven Deadly Sins (nanatsu No Taizai) anime. Why do you have to touch anime just stream only tv shows not anime.
And i don't understand why crunchyroll can't get Violet Evergarden Anime netflix didn't get it exclusively why can't they streamed too like they could stream erased with other streaming sites so why can't they with netflix? |

I envy you guys having enough time to watch all those shows when they air. I hardly have time for one a day.
Except Netflix is doing more good than other sites. Does Crunchyroll cater to worldwide audience? No. Some of their titles are available outside of US, but only with english subs. Does FUNi dub anime in several languages with all dubs being simulatenously available wieh english versions? No, but I hope the Sony takeover will change something in this matter for once. Stop being self-entitled pricks because for once you are not the ones who gete everything when the rest of the world have to rely on pirated or fansubbed content. You won't die from waiting few months for it. Now, sure it would be nice if they decided to at least simulcast these titles in English, but honestly, is it THAT important? Back in the day we had none of that, fansubs took ages to make, and for a lot of people not much changed since then. It's Netflix that saved anime for many, not Crunchy or FUNi.
Not on Netflix. This service caters primarily to the general audience, and while that might change now with all those original titles, it's gonna take some time.
And now the show is simulcasted worldwide in dozens of languages and is still the most pirated show, so... |

Sadly I feel that's what a considerable portion of viewers will do. |

Netflix monopolizing on the Anime industry cannot be good especially since it takes them awhile to release the series. I'm fine with waiting so long since Netflix dubs every series they release but most Anime fans are so inpatient that they resort to piracy which is not good for the Anime industry.
