And the other 50% of content, all Mexican, Indian and Korean.
That's like saying Cartoon Network is a threat to Crunchyroll. Companies that jump into anime with both feet, and think the industry is ruled by the limited genres that happen to belong to one or two high-profile shows owned by other companies, are going to become impatient that they're not making the profit that the Other Guys are. And it will never occur to them why. (So, looks like Netflix has got a great lineup of shoujo comedies in the works, like....um....well, it's pretty much just more action, mecha and noir.  )
Netflix pretty much has the same future that Cartoon Network does, ie. the most easily reachable cookie jar on the lowest shelf, for newbie fans that don't know where to get anime to begin with, hope the mainstream will find it and serve it to them, and make big, big fan deals over the first show they did get hooked on from the most easy-to-find source. The best things in entertainment are always harder to find. |

I would also like to add that anime as a whole was and still is doing just fine at being “great,.” Quite frankly, not every anime that comes out every season has to cater to your specific tastes and they all don’t have to be daring to still be fun. Your arrogant tone and words here are something I’ve seen before, and they will not change the fact that the anime industry hasn’t stopped producing quality works in different genres for different people that work. After all, it’s simply a hobby and you don’t have to watch it if you don’t find anything to your liking. Anyway, as for this news, I can only hope that Netflix can release their anime for everyone worldwide at the same time and not delay it for certain territories. I could see interesting things resulting from this, at least. EDIT: @ Nekki Basara - Kon’Doriano, is that you because your pretentious level is off the charts. Those things that you mentioned are all highly subjective and there is no truely objective way to determine those qualities of anime nor will such a thing ever exist. The big reason why is because no matter how hard one tries, bias will always slip through any person’s thoughts about certain shows due to personal preferences. I could just as easily state that the type of anime you like are bad for specific reasons and I’m not any more wrong than you are when you don’t like other people’s preferred anime.

If all those shows are like Neo Yokio, no worries... |

12 of 30 new produced anime-series, which shows up next year, are already known. But the other 18 series, that unknown at the moment.
I hope, that the 18 anime-series have some anime-adaptations of some manga-sources. |

It's a reliable rule in general, but I think if any anime were to be an exception, it'd be Eva. And there are exceptions. Netflix is currently streaming Robotech and Rurouni Kenshin -- which, I'll grant you, they don't directly own the licenses for. Sailor Moon got its long-awaited license rescue, and Funimation still sells DBZ, though those are conventional anime companies. LOTGH of all things is getting streamed ...I guess there's not really a close precedent. So maybe a streaming company picking it up is a longshot, but can you really blame me for hoping for one? Sure, I personally still have my Platinum Collection in a box somewhere (spared by Harvey), but we're still talking about one of the biggest anime hits ever out of print for like five or six years now, having never been legally streamed or gotten a US BD release. I did find an old forum post claiming they're holding back on the TV series until the movies are complete, so I guess that's something to hope for? |

There's something going on there behind the scenes, as every time a Funimation representative has been on ANNCast, someone invariably submits a question about Eva, and it always gets hand-waved away with the same sort of response that Funimation also used to give about Dragonball Super back before they had it / were allowed to announce they had it. |

This sounds great! Even if most of them are just shows they license to be on their service, it's still a huge amount of money that Netflix is investing for each individual title, which is overall better for the health of the industry. If we get at least 1 good original Netflix production that is made entirely by Netflix, I will call this a good step forward to the anime industry.

I am loving it, the show being on the other foot and all... I mean shoe. I think.... GG, Netflix, giving money to the anime production companies rather than CR's attempt at forcing out other competitors at the streaming level. But not being a pirate, what would I know of getting all the anime from a single site ever? |

Considering Netflix's recent push to create legitimate originals and not license TV anime, this could very well be Netflix-funded series. They haven't announced anything yet.

Oh please. Sure, all currently airing anime right now are consisting of ecchi and self pandering bullshit combined with these nonsensical moe crap that's devoid of anything meaningful whatsoever. Sure, let's just think that all those mature, seinen manga are the best damn thing that mankind need to glance upon and something like Made in abyss should be forsaken just because it featured casts looking like they're all under the age of 12.

That still sounds impossible unless they plan on a scorched earth policy in clearing room for their "original" content, and having a library consisting of a couple hundred or fewer titles. Netflix has hundreds if not thousands of titles in their library, produced over decades. How many new series/movies can they throw their 8 billion bucks at to claim the "original" title in just one year? |

I'm curious as to why the ANN headline chose to put New in single quotation marks. Generally, that's a typographical convention to convey skepticism. In any case, it's an impressive goal. Netflix figured out long ago that the real money is in owning its own content as opposed to licensing from others. I see this as a good thing for the anime industry. I wonder if Amazon will start following suit? We know Crunchyroll already is, but they simply don't have the same size piggy bank as the Giants.
