I.G Port wants to recover the loss that its subsidiaries have suffered. Nothing out of the ordinary for me.

Fix'd.

If anything, it'll probably be really great for the LA dubbing studios. It's your Texas ones you need to worry about.

As long as Netflix is able to make sure these shows simulcast worldwide, I'm happy with this.

Eh we'll be fine. There are more than three anime studios out there. Plenty of shows to dub.

So this means ANYTHING and EVERYTHING made by those studios in the next x years is automatically Netflix shows? Sigh...

That makes more sense, up to a point. It's Netflix's money for producing their own content, it has nothing to do with what the Texans can get anyway. Besides, one or the other could sill end up with physical rights.

I've said this before but I'd like to see people get anime production companies to adapt works that aren't, just throwing this out there, light novels but works that could be anything.

An anime Friday the 13th? Lord of the Rings? HP Lovecraft? Anything that isn't an isekai work? ... so no Wizard of Oz but that was already done anyway. Or Alice in Wonderland. Or Stephen King's Dark Tower... Hold on...

No, that should be an anime... It'd make more sense than that 90 minute movie.

Still, it all depends on what Netflix gets for these companies to work on. If they can get some good IP... and they would want some, especially with Disney Stream on the horizon... then, as they say, the sky's the limit. You could say... up... up ... and away...

My question would be:

Only new Animes or also new anime-seasons?

Yeah...but for my country will be even worst because Netflix and SDI media used the same hated dub studio for most of the anime they announced last year...and if is simulcast I fear they will allow the same studio we hate again!

I don't like Netflix messing with anime. Not at all. Netflix is mass market and what does the mass market do to things? Diluting it, so everybody can be the audience. Just look at mass market anime like Pokemon, One Piece, Dragon Ball, etc. We don't need more of that. I wish for more anime aiming at a hardcore audience.

I am carefully optimistic about this announcement. If Netflix can fund anime titles that would not have worked on Japanese television, dub and sub in multiple languages, and release them worldwide all at the same time like with Devilman, then this is a very good thing. Just confused how this will work out, as every animation studio is reportedly booked to the brim with projects for the next several years, so I don’t know how they’ll have time for these extra projects.
