So why was Violet Evergarden released on Blu Ray in the U.S., using the Netflix dub? Not really anime, but I know Viz has released Castlevania on Blu Ray as well and that's a Netflix original.

Castlevania doesn't have an English dub in the same way an Anime does. Nne of these Netflix titles that have been re-dubbed for home release have been dub only or needed the Japanese audio re-recorded. Or to put it another way, these publishers license the Anime, that Netflix doesn't own, and sometimes the dub that Netflix does own. Netflix owns Castlevania outright, they weren't going to license the audio separate from the show.

Hopefully Viz will be able to get the physical rights somewhere down the line. Not just this, but it's a bummer for people that watch Jojo on Toonami, since Part 6 will never air on the block. Not unless some miracle occurs, but I think getting Part 6 released on physical will happen way before Toonami watchers will be able to see it.

The Toonami crowd will be fine once they realize that they don't have to wait over a year after the series aired to start watching the series with an English dub (assuming it's there in December like any other Netflix release).

But ya, it is quite unfortunate about the physical release being an unknown now.

I mean... yeah, but that's also if they have Netflix or are willing to get Netflix. From a personal standpoint, I hate that this is going to be on Netflix because I don't have it, nor do I want it. The hubby and I pay $25 a month for Crunchyroll and HBO Max

You realise they outbid them right? You release Netflix realised how Hot Jojo is and wanted it to their weaponry right?

If Toonami or CR wanted it they could have bid on it but as a person from TOonami tweeted (a person posted his tweets) Netflix has bigger pockets then them.

I know exactly how and why this happened, but knowing it doesn't leave me any less disgusted at the news. I dislike almost everything about Netflix's business model, not least of which how they stubbornly refuse to simulcast already-broadcast episodes out of blind adherence to their abhorrent binge paradigm. I have never paid for a streaming service, and I have no plans to start paying for a streaming service. What I do have is a physical anime collection that is (frighteningly) approaching 1000 unique items over more than 15 years of buying. If this news interferes with Part 6 getting a physical release, then I will sail the high seas without even a smidge of guilt.

What really gets me is the lack of loyalty on the Japanese side of things. Why was this even open for bidding in the first place? You've had a working relationship with the same US partners on this series for almost a decade now, they've all done very well by the property, but after all that it's "lol **** you Netflix money!" It's just gross.

Look, I am sorry, but you are a minority. Most people binge things. Also, dub fans are used to this, it hurts doesn't it? Having to wait for everything to release at once? Anyway, stop acting like Netflix is the devil. This is just how people do things. Also, most people prefer streaming(more people my age at least). This is how things are going to go. Sorry, I guess.

I've been a massive dub fan for the entirety of my anime fandom. I'm no stranger to having to wait for series, and in any case I almost never watch a series until a year or two after its premiere. That's not my problem. What bothers me is Netflix artificially imposing this viewing model on everyone whether they want to consume anime that way or not. The domestic industry fought for years to make simulcasts become a thing as a way to combat speedsubs, and by any measure they were very successful in doing so. Then Netflix comes along, licenses series that are airing week-by-week on Japanese TV, and sits on them for months for literally no reason at all, as if they're one of their original productions.

And yes, I'm aware that my viewing habits are in the minority at this point, but I will still vehemently hold that bingeing utterly destroys what I've always loved most about watching a good TV series: that week-to-week build, the anticipation of what's coming next, the ability to discuss and speculate with a whole community of fans. It's all thrown out in favor of plowing through an entire season in a few hours and then forgetting about it for an entire year. Blech.

Even though I don't watch their content, I'm a big fan of Disney+ sticking with a traditional weekly release model for its biggest series.

I don't agree with you. But, that is your opinion. Netflix does not have to force you to watch it. You can just not watch it or whatever. Also, stop acting like Binging makes you forget things. By that logic, Crybabay, Castlevania, and many other shows wluld be dead. Except that is absolutely not true. It seems like you are projecting your opinions and acting like it is a fact.

Can’t we just agree that it’s a good thing it’s coming overseas, no matter who is being objective and subjective over the model? And the fact we don’t know if Netflix will make a special exception in here?
