It will be released at the right time, given that by that date we´ll only have 10-15 seasonal anime on streaming services that are not affected by being suspended for coronavirus. And still most anime fans will say that "I already saw it" or "why did you release this show now" or some other complain like that. Since the show will be released on a period when we´ll have less anime streaming weekly, Dorohedoro should have space to get a bit more popularity from the anime community or outside it. That is if the anime community truly cares about this anime and they want to make it a popular hit.
People in the anime community wants every company dealing with anime, to bend over the fans and obey all of their desires without taking into consideraton the legal hurdles regarding distribution, translations, and stuff like that. It´s being said multiple times that there are justifiable and logical excuses as to why Netflix has to release some of their anime exclusives months later instead of weekly, and one of them has to do with language. This article from the Answerman column from a few years back (animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2017-07-07/.118491) has more answers, but I´ll quote the part about the dubs and subs:
It´s well known that Netflix is covering 150+ countries, and if they simulcasted anime weekly for every country, they would have to deal with different release schedules for each episode depending if the country has their sub and dub team ready to work for weekly simulcast, and the production of those dubs and subs would spiral out of control quickly. If Netflix´s subtitling for their anime shows have some flaws when they release their shows months later, there would be more problems on a weekly simulcast. I understand that US anime fans are the most vocal about the no simulcast situation that Netflix has because the US is their primary market, but we forget that there are some countries that even today, barely have legal options to watch anime on the internet, or can only watch anime via TV if their people don´t have internet at home. Some Latin American anime viewers can explain you how difficult was to watch anime dubbed in spanish legally before streaming options were available, so Netflix was the first streaming service to appeal to us in that part, given that their anime is dubbed in spanish since day 1. So US fans, even if you don´t like the no simulcast rule, at least appreciate what´s being done for other countries with Netflix´s anime releases.[/quote] |

I am one of the ones that bemoans shows ending up in Netflix jail. But I move on. It serves no one, less of all me, to constantly complain about shows not released on Netflix the same day they come out in Japan. And as long as I keep up paying my subscription, I'll watch it eventually.
I will continue to wave at BNA from the comfort of my home and wait for it to come out when it does. That one and Baki will prolly be impacted by all the Coronavirus closings. Super happy this is finally coming out. |

I'm glad we're having all these Netflix anime dropping right now with so many simulcast shows going on hiatus. We also have the new GITS coming out this week and that Drifting Dragons show is also arriving soon.
