I'm most curious about DARLING in the FRANXX & Violet Evergarden. Beatless, Killing Bites, & Marchen Madchen also look...interesting (the more violent ones might be fascinating trainwrecks!) Fate/ & Shaft usually make good anime, but I was not impressed by that Fate/ OVA last New Year's Eve. Saiki's ok, but not especially exciting. It seems like a very solid season, though.

The fact a relatively popular yuri manga Citrus is getting an anime adaptation is pretty mind-blowing so I'm definitely watching that (hopefully Crunchyroll or FUNimation gets it). Violet Evergarden is by far the biggest hyped KyoAni work ever so I'll take a leap of faith on that! The rest I'll wait and see like those traveling cute girl shows, that sword girls show from Studio Gokumi, and Trigger's new work DARLING. I have a feeling Trigger is holding back the biggest gimmick for DARLING in their promotion.

I'd say Apocrypha is within Netflix's wheelhouse, given they have Zero and UBW in their catalog. Violet's genre and setting could make it the KyoAni title most likely to appeal to a wider audience, or at least new or casual Western fans, but we'll see. |

I think CCS is probably the only thing I'm interested seeing. I'm not sure if it will affect any relationships, but I could be wrong.

LOL just watched that video. I think your a little naive, after 25 years of viewing (since mid 90's and original release of GiTS, Fighter II: The Animated Movie and Channel 4 running late night Fist of the North Star) I'm at the True Acceptance stage where I've seen everything (over 2000 shows) and know what I like, classic tournament arc Shonen, detective shows (e.g. Conan, Kindaichi), Space Opera, Mecha, grown up slice of life, Zany comedy parodies (e.g. SD Gundam, Hokuto no Ken parodies) and heart tugging romantic comedy (in the Love Hina, School Rumble model). I know I don't like Idols, bands, sports anime (though All Out and Cross Game were alright), sword and sorcery, supernatural, or horror. For me personally the golden period was 79-2002 shows with most stuff over the last 5 years lacking depth and ambition. |

Having other Fate shows in their catalog does not automatically mean they have wider appeal for Netflix users. I actually agree that Violet Evergarden could have mass appeal, but the more hardcore fans will still be pissed that it will not be legally available during the Winter season. I wish these "sequestered" shows could be streamed on Crunchyroll while they aired in Japan and then taken down before it started streaming on Netflix. The more casual fans will probably wait on Netflix for the dub. |

^Having it (and keeping it) in their catalog means they at least think the shows would appeal to their audience. If anything, I'd say Apocrypha seems like it would be even more appealing to their audience than the original and Zero, though even the latter two seem like they could appeal to Western casual fans. All three are dark, plot oriented shows with plenty of action, which sounds exactly like most of the anime I watched as a teenager and wouldn't be out of place on Toonami, or Adult Swim back in the day, though to my knowledge the Fate series has not appeared on the block. I couldn't see Netflix picking up the Heaven's Feel movies though.
As much as I'd like to see Violet as it airs, three months in short by Netflix standards, and I don't think any streaming site would willingly offer their exclusives to another site (which they are not partnered with) to stream first, albeit with fewer language options. There wouldn't be any upside for Netflix to allow CR to handle the simulcasts, as even if many who would simulcast it would watch it through more illicit means, they would lose any who would wait but aren't interested in dubs. I know I wouldn't watch it on Netflix if it were available on CR first, even if I was rewatching it. That's not necessarily out of loyalty to CR, as I didn't rewatch IBO or Monogatari Second Season when they were delaycast on CR after first being streamed on Hulu and Daisuki, respectively. I don't necessarily find it agreeable, but it is understandable and it is their business model, which is why I hope they transition to just doing real originals like Devilman Crybaby. |

Are we sure that would be such a bad idea? The Funimation-Crunchyroll partnership is proof of that when Funi lets CR handle the simulcasts for popular shows like AoT and MHA. I have seen fans in these forums say that they rather wait to watch shows until the broadcast dubs start. |

They would have to be partnered with them as Funi is with CR first. If they aren't, they would just lose money. They would likely also have to give CR subs entirely as with Funi, not just while it's airing, and I don't see them giving that up for their real originals like Devilman. It's one thing to lose people who would pirate instead of waiting, and another to lose the entirety of fans who have Netflix who prefer subs for the shows they will be giving to everyone at the same time. This isn't really a thread on Netflix's business strategy so I'll leave it at that. |

Shame Mitsuboshi Colors didn't even make the top 10.
I'm looking forward to that one for the combo reason that I enjoy the manga (yes, because it reminds me a bit of Ichigo Mashimaro but also Yotsuba & !) and SilverLink is the studio that's animated the plurality of my favourite anime TV shows this decade. |

It follows the manga canon. No Meiling, 19 Clow Cards and the second movie didn't happen. |

Most anticipated for me: Overlord. Without a doubt. I am also eager to see whether Junji Ito
"Collection" will be a good adaptation. And Kakegurui will finally show its face on Netflix! In a less urgent fashion, I am also looking forward to the following: Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody, Dagashi Kashi, Koi wa Ameagari no You Ni and Violet Evergarden. |
