Netflix relies on a constant fodder of new mediocre content to justify the fact that you are paying for a subscription. Anime makes a lot of sense for streamerslop, as it is cheaply produced and released 4 times a year.
UKlads ... nobody wants to see our panel shows anymore ...
Me, I did it, I'm sorry
It's an attack on crunchyroll, they want to take them over.

Among us
>>282570652That would imply that Netflix is trying to optimize its catalogue according to quality. Here's a good article on their actual business strategy. It's easy to see how anime fits in there.https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/essays/casual-viewing/

>>282570698The question asked was about popularity.
>>282570808Read the chart. It's about the proportion of japanese stuff (supposedly mostly anime) on Netflix. Since the audience doesn't vote on what Netflix buys for it's catalogue, it's at best a second degree indicator of popularity.
>>282570652this
>why are cartoons getting more and more popular with an ever growing slice of the global populace who refuses to grow up
>>282570652True
>>282570853>it's at best a second degree indicator of popularityThen ignore it as it isn't particularly relevant to the question about popularity.
>>282571068Why would you post the fucking chart then and not expect my autistic BI brain to read it?
>>282570698 >a TV movie better suited to a graveyard slot on a children’s cable networkToonamisisters I don't feel so good...
>>282570499>>282570544>>282570579>>282570652It's actually more because Netflix is popular in Japan and thus has a lot of connections with anime streaming. For the other countries:>UKA lot of UK content has been diverting to BBC iPlayer locally, and BritBox internationally. I honestly didn't think Netflix would have that much UK content.>South KoreaAlso expanding for similar reasons as to Japan. Netflix is big in Asia, it gets deals there, those deals come into play in North America.>IndiaDisney+ is the big Indian subscription service, primarily because it has exclusive hosting for Cricket. >CanadaMost current Canadian cinema/TV is indie or broadcast only, so it just doesn't go to Netflix. I imagine the only real changes are older Canadian cartoons having their rights lapse and shuffle around.>Hong Kong / OthersWho knows or cares.

>>282570698I think this is the relevant quote:>“A single movie or show on Netflix and Amazon needn’t appeal to everyone; the key for both platforms is making sure they offer enough of everything to attract anyone.”Anime is very popular with audiences that often don't buy Netflix subscriptions, aka young(ish), male, unmarried.
>>282571533He said the thing.
>>282571533Its big in Japan in regards to its catalog (Japan is more of a Prime Video country overall), has a lot of exclusive streaming rights, stuff like that.On a chart it certainly won't look huge, but you have to also keep in mind that Japan is one of the few countries that still has a heavy reliance on broadcast TV.
>>282571143I didn't post the chart.
>>282570499because (((american))) media is turbo-garbage
