so they're doing a weekly release in the UK huh? I live in the UK so that's great news. I do wonder whats going to happen with American Netflix release, considering they previously announced a bulk release in spring.
Regardless, with this and the Devilman Crybaby adaptation being weekly releases here in the UK, it seems Netflix are finally catching on to the idea that bulk releases are Not what the people want, lets hope they can handle a weekly release schedule better than Amazon have though.

I mean they already do it in Japan and they've been doing it in the UK with a couple of live -action shows such as Star Trek Discovery. So I think it's just Netflix JP/UK are more willing to do it.

I guess there is no reason for Netflix US not to do it as well if the episodes are already done unless they just want to be stubborn. They must know from Fate that people are just going to pirate it. If they make them wait, maybe that's changed their minds.

Literally no reason to make people wait. If UK Netflix does it, us US fans REALLY need to speak up about what we want.

No, they aren't trying to be stubborn - they're trying to get their core audience to watch anime, and their core audience are binge watchers. Period.

Anime fandom just doesn't get it. We're a minority, and a secondary consideration to the Big Two. (Yes, two. Hulu has slipped into the 'also-ran' category, and everyone is so far behind they might as well not exist.)

I wasn't believing it but now that I've seen it I can confirm it's actually happening. Happy canadian here that just downloaded episode 1 to its device and watching it on the commute this morning Smile
