I hope Netflix picks up the rights to this show. Anime for kids seems to do a lot better on streaming services while cable channels only focus on established properties like Pokémon and Beyblade, as well as all those Marvel and DC cartoons.

Do you have any examples of that in the English world? I can't think of any kids anime that has done well on streaming that isn't already on linear. There aren't many examples, but Glitter Force flopped, Puzzle & Dragons Z flopped, Monster Hunter Stories flopped. The closest I can think of are the Bushiroad shows, but the one directly targeted at actual kids (vs. teens) was just cancelled a few months back ...

So, I guess my assumption was sadly mistaken. I'm not surprised, though. Most of the kids that go to my mother's school are mainly into stuff like Minecraft, Fortnite, and Marvel. Not to mention the only anime these students seem to be into is Pokémon.
