To be honest, all this whining about Netflix EVERY SINGLE TIME any show is announced to be in Netflix is getting tiresome... oh, well 
Anyways, as for the series itself, this looks really promising. Kinda wish it was a bit less colorful and light-hearted (at least, judging by the PV...) but I am certainly looking forward to this. |
So like, you don't like fun?

Except we live in the internet age and japanese people post spoilers on twitter and pixiv just like everyone else so yeah, f*ck netflix delays.
I say pirate it but once it's finally released put it on so it gets the legal views. |
You simply avoid them instead. It's that easy.

Honestly, if I made a top 50 of my favorite series ever (anime or otherwise) I wouldn't put any comedies in it so... yeah, I guess you could say that. I mean, I'm ok with something like Lupin (probably the closest comparison I can think of with this series, at least from that PV and plot summary) but it's not the kind of stuff I'd ever consider a favorite of mine or anything... to each their own I guess

Yes, yes I am. I think the show looks awesome, but when most shows are being streamed hours to days after being broadcast, this causes a problem for many fans. I think the one that gets me the most is that it cripples episodic discussion, which is more enjoyable when you have more people involved. When a show that you really think looks interesting goes into Netflix jail, you either set sail or you wait. The former gets to discuss it on an episodic basis and gets to pioneer the western fandom while the latter is forced to focus on other shows and hope they don’t get spoiled. The former tend to move on by the time the latter get to see the show. You can blame it on fansubs, but that won’t change. Netflix has a choice, there is no good reason to region jail it other than adherence to a peculiar model.
I mean, I got sick of being spoiled by Beastars fans that I broke down and bought the English volumes and Japanese volumes since I can muddle my way through with furigana. At least then I felt justification in watching fansubs. But I shouldn’t have to do that! Not in this day and age when every other service is either simulcasting or near simulcasting.
If Netflix surprises us, great. Honestly, for a show that is set in LA, it has potential for crossover appeal from our fandom. What I fear is that being released at an abnormal time and not in an episodic manner will detract from the discussion and buzz that generates around it. It’s delayed far enough in the future that it goes back to the old days of splitting the legal and illegal viewing in the fandom.

Meanwhile, anyone resorting to fansubs has no business declaring themselves a fan of the show they are pirating. Just be patient. |
I disagree. I guess time will tell, but not having episodic review coverage over months in the the anime media decreases exposure. Sure, the best of the best will win by word of mouth, but Beastars isn’t really that exceptional. It really isn’t fair to it to make people wait until March. The only positive is that it is split cour, so perhaps it can shine.

Obviously you don’t interact in the fandom regularly on other sites and social media. What if it gets really good? Spoilers will be inevitable. We’ve seen this before when legal streaming wasn’t a thing, but in the age of twitter it is worse. People have a right to be upset that they are paying for inferior service. I’d rather see it go to Crunchyroll/Funimation.
