During Anime Expo, Netflix revealed an impressive statistic: over 150 million homes watch anime on the platform , representing approximately 300 million viewers worldwide . As reported by The Hollywood Reporter , this audience has tripled in the last five years, solidifying anime as a mainstay of the streaming service.
New animes will be released soon on the platform
Taking advantage of the event, Netflix announced several exciting new releases. Among the highlights are Sakamoto Days , the final installment of Beastars , Dan Da Dan (season 2), Record of Ragnarok (season 3), and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2. In other words, the catalog continues to grow with high-impact works, including adaptations of Shonen Jump titles.
The company also invests in ambitious remakes, such as One Piece , considered by many to be the "crown jewel" of its current portfolio. After all, the success of the live-action version and the reach of the franchise provide grounds for high expectations.
Netflix Vs Crunchyroll: Which is better for watching anime?
However, even with its dominance, Netflix faces stiff competition. Crunchyroll , although ranked only 10th in the US according to Dentsu's survey, remains a benchmark among dedicated fans. This is because its library is vastly superior, and its executives believe that Netflix's popularization of anime also generates interest in their service.
So the battle between the streaming giants is far from over. In the end, that's a good thing; the fans are the ones who win.
