Netflix literally could not give a fuck what the small numbers of pre-existing anime fans in the west think. They have over 100 million customers worldwide. If they even get a tiny fraction of that population to watch it already makes sense and 90% of all anime watched on their platform is already watched outside of Japan. They want to get casuals to watch the anime they make and hopefully coax some Japanese to use Netflix too.

Their strategy in what to fund is fairly clear, they either go for shows targeted at young adults, sci-fi, action, fantasy stuff and/or works based on famous brands Godzilla, Cyborg 009, Saint Seya or studios/creators Trigger, Yuasa and so on with high brand awareness around the world.

People will just have to adapt to their model of producing and distributing anime, not the other way around.

Pretty sure every company involved in the animation industry in Japan is gagging for a chance to work with them. So far they have had off the top of my heads Aniplex, Science Saru, Production IG, Bones, Bandai Visual, LIDENFILMS, Ultra Super Pictures, Dwagon, Toei Animation, TMS Entertanment, TOHO, Polygon Pictures, Tirgger, King Records, Kodansha.

>>160636655
Because anime is popular as fuck now and if they don't hop on the weeb train now they'll lose out on a ton of money

>>160631136
Considering that they're the most successful new TV platform out there, they probably have a much better idea of how TV shows work than you do.

The all in one format has done nothing to dampen the success of Netflix shows and it will do nothing to dampen the success of the anime they pick up. If anything, they're likely to be far, far more successful.

Real people out in the actual world don't care whether something is released weekly or all at once.

All I see when people here get assblasted about streaming anime and services that stream it is just the constant screaming of frogs and "muh sekrit club".
All hate for CR is simply because it allowed normies to get into it.
It's like /a/ and /v/ never ended their love affair because of normies.

>>160638238
They probably do, but they either don't give a fuck or never bothered to find out how anime fanbase generally works. I assume both to be honest.

>>160638077
But the thing is, sooner or later anime won't be Japanese with it's style, the studios will just try and adapt (if not, probably will be told to by netflix) a more western style to appeal to everyone and you'll end up losing some of the stuff that made the medium, shit like visual metaphors, deep rooted Japanese issues and even the fanservice. Every sing one of those will probably be cut from any anime if more influences from companies like Netflix start happening. Then yopu will also have the the possibilities of the companies being to to start adding shit wouldn't even make 1 tenth of japan, shit like adding more homosexuals/trans characters, or adding more "Diverse" (Black, Latino, Arab, Jewish, and Muslim) characters. Again, it will start to look a lot less Japanese style to appeal to everyone and that will suck, just having more shitty marvel/DC shit.

I don't know why people complain about fucking adaptions not being released weekly, like you've already seen this shit in the manga anyways so it shouldn't matter if they decide to wait it out and dump it all in one go

>>160638407
You seem to have made a crucial mistake. You believe that the entire anime fanbase is /a/. It's not.

There are tons of people who don't care about keeping up with the weekly hype for a show on /a/. Way more than those that do care. Furthermore, Netflix is not aiming solely to grab existing, 'hardcore' anime fans, it is aiming to target casual fans and general audiences as well.

And to be honest, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how people get their anime. I used to get my anime by taping Ghibli movies when they showed up on TV and buying random VHS tapes when they showed up (which lead to a ton of stinkers). You don't hear me whining about how anime has changed.

>>160638426
>Then yopu will also have the the possibilities of the companies being to to start adding shit wouldn't even make 1 tenth of japan, shit like adding more homosexuals/trans characters

There are already a fuckton of these in anime.

>>160638545
The problem is you are assuming they want people like us who are used to watching anime in a specific format to watch their shows. They have 100 million subscribers all over the world. If only a tiny portion of those fans watch it then they are fine regardless of you liking the schedule or not.

>>160638674
I didn't make any mistake. Most of your post was my point. They don't give a fuck what we are doing and probably never bothered to find out because we aren't the main target, secondary considerations if that.

Yeah, the difference is that they're here for a reason, either to make fun of them or because they make sense in the plot or because they'll add something to everything, burgers tends to add LGBT characters just because "there aren't any".
Anyway it's not like Netflix will change anything, whatever original anime they try to make will flop in Japan.

>>160638551
It's against shitposter culture. If they released Vulvarave all at once they would have to wait months to come up with "dank memes" and ways to show they're watching it ironically. Then it would die out in a week with some people even allowed to like the show because it didn't get shitposted every which way to make it unspeakable without a brigade of faggots.

>>160638767
>They don't give a fuck what we are doing

Because we're not the majority of the fanbase. You seem to think we are, but we're not. The average anime fan doesn't give a shit about this format. Most are used to watching things at their own pace anyway, since that's how they've watched all the entry stuff like Bebop.

Netflix doesn't misunderstand the fanbase. They misunderstand, or more likely don't care about, /a/. Because there's no real reason for them to care. And it's not like people here don't binge shit either. Fuck, there's only ever one or two shows per season of consistent quality, so you HAVE to go back and binge older stuff if you want good shows to watch on the regular.

>>160638913
Can you actually read? You are wasting your time writing all this shit at me when I have just said it in the post you've responded to.

Anyway what are you defining as a fan there? Someone who watched a few Ghibli films once and FLCL when it was on Toonami? Everywhere on the internet where anime fans, not even hardcore anime fans, exist is used to the weekly discussion model. It happens on MAL, reddit, twitter, 4chan, tumblr everywhere. Even people who just watch their weekly Naruto and Boku no Hero Academia follow that schedule. I think just about anyone who can actually be considered a "fan" of anime is used to weekly releases at the very least if not weekly discussion.

>>160638717
>There are already a fuckton of these in anime.
No, they are the minority in anime, and they're pretty easy to ignore (YOI being the most recent) And if you're adding Gender Benders as "Trans" you're a fucking idiot.

Dude, yeah, I can read.

You said netflix doesn't understand how the anime fanbase works. I said you just don't realize that the anime fanbase is not /a/. It's not a case of netflix not understanding anime fans, it's a case of netflix not caring about /a/.

The weekly format is not an important necessity for many people. We only care about it because /a/ and the discussion on /a/ is part of our enjoyment. There are millions of anime fans that don't care about that at all.

>>160639166
>Anyway what are you defining as a fan there?

Someone who watches anime regularly.

They're also used to watching things in one go as well. They don't have a problem with the weekly format, but it's not a necessity for them either.

>>160630999
>Better than taking hostage shows they didn't have a hand in making and could've been picked up by a weekly service.
Netflix has never contributed anything towards the actual production of any show. All they do is throw money around to get exclusive licensing rights and then slap "Netflix Original" on the cover.
Their subs are also shit more often than not, even more so than the other official subbing companies. Every other company does it better, and yes that includes garbage like the Gabriel Dropout subs.

Netflix are so fucking wishy-washy. They said they wanted to break into the anime market and license more shows and that they'll try weekly simulcasting in 2017 (they even said episodes will be a week later) and so far nothing has changed; same 1-3 shows per season and same season batch. At least their sub quality is decent and you can thank them for bringing a couple of fansub groups out of retirement.

>>160644402
Your point isn't entirely invalid. I think what most people are frustrated by is the fact that the shows don't get immediate subs when Netflix has the rights for the world streaming. There is quite a lot of fun and decent discussion to be had in original shows where speculation is possible though I think. As long as you are able to not be baited into pointless arguments. Those based on source material tend to end up being boring without that though.

The thing I really hate is that 95% of time it isn't even a debate or argument the other person is looking to have. It is just each side repeats the same point over and over, probably adding in a variety of insults to an increasing degree until the one with the least time/autism has to stop posting or gives up, then the other person declares themselves the winner. I wouldn't mind arguing or debating things if the other side was actually sincerely engaging on the topic. It is rarely worth the effort though.

>>160630999
This thread is fucking shit, but can anyone clarify (as in, point to the actual evidence/proof, not "I said it so it's true") what exactly Netflix's role is in these anime's production? It's hard for me to puzzle out, because they're so loose with their credit-taking (i.e. "we're subbing this, so it's a Netflix Original"). Obviously this new round is Netflix-distributed worldwide, rather than just translation, but are they actually the main funder and/or impetus behind these anime's creation, or are they merely providing the platform? Does it vary between shows (i.e. I could see the anime-originals being Netflix-commissioned, while something like Baki, with that OVA ahead of time, might be a different project that they just jumped into)? And depending on the answer to that, do we have any details (we probably don't) on what the financial model is here (i.e. is it the distributor-pays-for-rights model, or the nip's you-pay-the-TV-station-to-air-it model)?

>>160643737
Then what should i do? Completely accept them trying to take over an industry that was doing fine without them? Suck all the CEOs dicks? Praise them for letting themselves do what they please with a medium i enjoy far more then most?

>>160645067
They dont try take it over. Isnt it good that we are getting more original stuff?

>>160645288
>more original stuff
Not him, but most of the things they've announced are adaptations.

>>160644884
Depends on the show. You have some where all they are doing is just licensing the rights for streaming, like someone like Crunchyroll might commonly do. You have some where they get credits like "Executive Producer" like on LWA which probably means they contributed significantly to the anime production in terms of funding even though they still aren't actually on the production committee so likely won't have any direct input into shaping the show like other funders do. Then if you look at something like Devilman you have Aniplex and Dynamic Planning listed as the Producers and then Netflix as "In Cooperation/Association with" which is fairly unclear too but sounds as if it would be even more involvement in the production than something like LWA. I believe in the case of shows like Devilman they are real Netflix exclusives too, as in just on Netflix not even on Japanese TV. Usually for anime so far Netflix exclusive has meant they have exclusive streaming rights online in that region where they claim it is a Netflix exclusive and that is it.

>>160632734
>muh torrents
there's literally nothing wrong with watching anime on netflix, at least some portion of the profits go to the people who made it, if you've already got a netflix account you might as well use it to watch the anime that it has.

>>160638266
This so much. You can enjoy things without caring what others think and do. Someone else watching a series doesn't directly affect you at all.

>>160645619
People on /a/ think that is money from the wrong place though you see. If it is western money then anime will start pandering to us westerners and no longer be like anime. It is a big global jewish conspiracy to kill anime just like they did with games!

Yes, this is true. That's what I meant by "this new round is Netflix-distributed worldwide, rather than just translation." I'm just trying to figure out what their relation to the actual production is for these new ones.

> Then if you look at something like Devilman you have Aniplex and Dynamic Planning listed as the Producers and then Netflix as "In Cooperation/Association with" which is fairly unclear too but sounds as if it would be even more involvement in the production than something like LWA .
This is very helpful, thanks. Based on that, it sounds more like they're inserting themselves into an existing project, rather than creating their own, at least in that case, but it's definitely them contributing money, not the producers buying a broadcast from them. I probably should have just looked those credits up myself instead of making you spoonfeed me, come to think of it, but too late now.

>>160645619
Kill yourself.

>>160645974
Yeah I am not too entirely sure if the projects would have necessarily happened without them actually funding it though. Dynamic Planning are always going to be there because they own the rights to all Go Nagai IP I believe. Aniplex need to be there because they know how to actually produce/market anime in Japan. Then Netflix is probably there giving a big chunk of money to actually have it made.

>>160645579
I'm pretty sure Netflix never claimed they were the executive producer of LWA, from the start since LWA anime announcement, it was made pretty clear that Netflix simply "licensed" it.

That's pretty solid reasoning, and it's definitely possible, but Netflix being "In Cooperation/Association with" just strikes me as a secondary credit. If they were listed alongside Aniplex, then I could see them being the main contributor, but when they're set aside in their own bracket it feels different. Maybe that's just how they're doing things, though, I don't know.

>>160646710
I think it just represents that they aren't actually DOING anything. Usually the companies in the production committee are involved in planning/making the show and having their own anime producers suggesting ideas and shaping the show with the actual creatives from a business perspective. Netflix seem to just want to shove money in the pocket of people that know what they are doing, and are known for quality, and have a project made that fits the demographic they are aiming for.

There's German, Spanish, French dubs for LWA. It's hot seeing what sort of VA talent we have internationally. Spanish Sucy is good stuff while American Sucy is weaksauce fandub territory

This article about their presentation is amusing/interesting.

I am only using google translate to read it but it seems like the reporter was impressed by the sheer scale of the marketing event they did.

>A series of new announcements, surprising titles, and the work itself as well as course, but the extent of the event was further surprised. Not only in Japan but also overseas reporters were invited to the announcement that domestic and foreign guests came to the venue in the center of the Tokyo International Forum. Visitors are also prepared to have snacks and souvenirs, and they are fully revealed.
>It is unbelievable to think about how much budget was spent. Indeed, when producing animation in Japan and thinking about its business scale, you can calculate the budget that can be advertised if you reverse calculation. However, this time it is incongruous with conventional knowledge.

>>160634555
Just admit it, you're poor.

>>160647029
Do you even know where you're at, /a/non? Do you honestly think everyone here ironically loves anime and don't really care what happens to it? How new are you?

I love Netflix and Amazon for gatekeeping the fuck out of moralfags. So many cry baby rants over "muh simulcast" or "muh double paywall", it's funny.

>>160647547
>Just admit it, you're poor.
Just admit it, you're lazy as fuck and DAD pay for everything.

>>160647865
I think you should probably realise that Netflix aren't taking your anime away. They are paying for more of it to be made.

>>160648295
You mean more of what the western market wants, right? Because nothing they have produced makes me think otherwise, other then LWA.

>>160648344
None of it is particularly western. Are you really saying Devilman, Blame!, Ajin, Godzilla, Baki, Saint Seiya and so on are being produced for a western market exclusively? All of those are famous properties in Japan that many Japanese would be highly excited about.

>>160638426
Anime companies are trying to push into the NA and Chinese markets because the model they do now where they rely heavily on Blu Ray and DVD sales is not sustainable in the long-term, and coupled with Japan's population problem there will be less customers overall

>>160647975
But at least he's not poor like you.

>>160645974
B: The Beginning is actually financed by Netflix. It was announced over a year ago as an attempt to court Japanese to the service, but it was under the title "Perfect Bones"

>>160630999
I don't want to watch anime weekly.

I don't understand why the idea of waiting every week for an episode has now become popular. I've always watched in marathon mode. I feel like most people take in anime this way. Am I wrong?

>>160648467
>the model they do now where they rely heavily on Blu Ray and DVD sales
Huh? You mean figurines and pachinko and music and manga and LN sales?

>>160648656
>Am I wrong?
Yes. Lurk more.

Gotcha. Hahahaha!

>>160648673
It's more on a series by series basis, but shows that rely heavily on otaku going out and buying blu rays and all the figures are big risks because if it doesn't sit well and nobody buys shit then its a total dud

>>160648559

Oh, fuck, is that what happened to that? I thought it was dead.
>>160648656
>I've always watched in marathon mode. I feel like most people take in anime this way. Am I wrong?
Yes, you're absolutely wrong. How is this not obvious by looking at /a/? Or by living in the world in general? Most people watch an anime, or a live-action show or read a book, or play a game, or anything else, when it comes out. That's the peak of the thing's consumption 99% of the time. Waiting until a series is finished to read/watch/play/whatever it is not the norm.

>>160648656
Most people just want to relive the glory days of Code Geass. Watch however you want. No one's going to do anything except give some misguided snarky reply to you.

>>160648732
It's the default mode of watching anime across the western fandom among all communities that would be considered anime fan groups. MAL, ANN, reddit, 4chan, twitter, even god damn tumblr. The majority of discussion for anything happens immediately after it airs or within the next few days. The same in Japan too.

>>160648805
Netflix is predicated on binging so I don't see how it's so obvious. Also I'm talking about anime specifically.

>>160648773
I'd rather have that risk then having the medium turn into another source for Capeshit and generic action show.

>>160648899
Netflix haven't made a single capeshit show? Japan has made far more of those with Marvel already.

>>160648899
>implying anime doesn't have a ton of generic action shows

>>160647875
At the end of the day, you're a gatekeeper yourself.

>>160648873
> Netflix is predicated on binging so I don't see how it's so obvious
Most series don't release all at once like Netflix series do. If something comes out in pieces, people are generally watching those pieces as they come out, not waiting for it to end. Likewise, of course no one's watching a completed show at an artificial pace of one episode a week, but that's different.

>Also I'm talking about anime specifically.
And I'm saying that this holds for media in general, and there's no reason you wouldn't have applied it to anime.

>>160648732
>what 4chan does has little to do with what most people do.
So you see that you see that most people on /a/ consume their anime as it comes out. And you see that most people in general consume their media in general as it comes out. But for some reason you assumed that most people in general watched their anime differently?

>actually waiting to watch an anime which has been out for months
Fucking shills need to leave.

>>160648899
Everything Netflix has done in anime so far has either been an original or an adaptation of a famous Japanese property. The idea that they are going to fund western pandering shit is just completely unfounded. If anything it seems like the understand that anime is appealing to people because it is different from western shit. All they have done so far is throw money at Japanese to do their thing and not got involved in the creative side at all. That is exactly the same as they do with their live action TV shows for the most part too. They aren't producers of content they pay people to make content who know how to do it.

>>160649032
No one has to justify to you why they prefer not to consume a story in weekly cuckfests.

>>160649032
That isn't the case with these new shows though. They are actual Netflix exclusives. The first place and only place they will be is Netflix.

>>160649197

What the fuck does "cuck" even mean anymore? Kill yourself.

>>160649225

As long as they don't hold shows hostage I couldn't care less about them, now fuck off.

I use Hulu now anyway

>>160649328
Do you not pay attention to anything? It's not just Devilman there is also, B: The Beginning, Sword Gai, A.I.C.O. Incarnation, Lost Song, Godzilla, Saint Seiya, Baki.

>>160640885
>Good slap in the face to EOPs,
Netflix always releases their exclusives globally. That's the thing. They don't have to license shit, because the show is "theirs".

I'm not shilling anything. Your critcism was dumb and it makes other critics look dumb. I am just letting you know that Netflix isn't primarily following that model anymore and they significantly expanded their operation. I believe the majority of those are slated to be released in spring 2018 so they will probably monopolise a decent fraction of the entire season with that many shows.
