...Devilman Crybaby. If anything, Netflix still thinks it’s the 80’s and anime = porn. |

I'm in love with the idea of Netflix funding Anime with their bottomless pockets, I just hope they creative input is minimal.

Does Netflix do physical releases ? My only concern is these shows only being made available online.

I actually have been fantasizing about these two great anime studios partnering up with deep pockets Netflix. I am excited and look forward to the fruits of this partnership. Netflix has so far shown with Devilman Crybaby and the upcoming March stuff that they intend to let the anime studios do their thing, and not "americanize" it.
As a disc collector my wish is for Netflix anime to be released on disc.
I imagine things like My Hero Academia will not be part of the Netflix deal because there are existing contracts with Funimation and other companies. |

They've released some of the Marvel TV Shows and other originals like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black on disc, but as far as their anime I don't think so. Only anime "original" they've released is Seven Deadly Sins and that was handled by Funi so who nows how future releases will be handled. |

Sentai also released Knights of Sidonia and Ajin. I imagine Sentai and Funimation will release more Netflix anime in the future. |

Also not anime but clearly influenced by Yoshiaki Kawajiri's work: Castlevania, a hard-R-rated animated adaptation of a video game. That is so not-mass market it's painful. In a good way |

@Devilman Crybaby
That's part of a franchise that started in the 1970s and I didn't like a single anime related to it - I watched about eight. I haven't seen it and I don't particularly care to watch it, either. Looking at screenshots, though, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Something that tries to appeal to Western audiences by shifting core values. Sure, that show isn't going for the mass market, but it's a step of transforming anime towards that end. I'm willing to bet that it doesn't have pantsu shots of little girls and really, isn't that what anime is all about? Protagonists slipping and accidentally fondling breasts and all that kind of stuff, y'know. The kind of things that can't even be missing from a show like Evangelion. The kind of things that make a show not recommendable to other people, that are not into anime, because they wouldn't get it. The heart of anime. Devilman Crybaby looks like the kind of show that you can recommend to people outside the fandom. And that's not a bad thing. I just don't want Netflix to shift core values of anime by throwing money at it. Whenever a big company did throw money at something popular with a niche audience, the product got destroyed in the process, because they didn't get it. |

As far as this announcement is concerned: No. No they are not. The partnership is specifically in relation to shows netflix produces, rather than what these studios are contracted to produce, and there's no mention of a buy-out or a deal with any of the studios to only produce shows for Netflix. What this basically means is Netflix is solidifying their relationships with these companies to make more actual Netflix Original content ala Devilman Crybaby, A.I.C.O Incarnation, and B: The Beginning. So series that BONES/Prod IG/WIT make outside of that will still be up for the same bidding for licenses that they've always been. |
