Netflix’s Increasing Engagement with the Anime Industry
If you have been following Netflix’s anime journey for the past few years, you must have noticed how the company graduated from artificial-looking 3D CG characters to fine-grained 2D anime. The company’s earlier productions, likeDragon’s Dogma, Eden, and other projects, faced a lot of criticism due to the plasticky quality of the ONAs.
However, they have been in the game for some years, and Netflix proudly offers its audience top-class anime. Yet, among its original releases, there are anime that have more Western influence and cater to the Western audience. But Netflix has also produced masterpieces likeKakegurui, Devilman Crybaby, Japan Sinks, Violet Evergarden, and more.
