You do realize that Kochikame lasted for 40 years and its the Guinness Book Record holder of longest running comic serial right? In comparison Gintama lasted for 14 years and hasn't done anything nearly as impactful.
Some of you? One person brought up something about quotes. The discussion was about sales and popularity
Anime budget doesn't really have a big impact of the quality of animation. It's a well known fact and there's been tweets from animators that stress this so much.
There's gonna be a big difference with these Netflix shows, the production schedules will be very different from typical TV anime productions, which pressure animators weekly. With this, the studios can take their time and they won't have to deal with a lot of pressure due to deadlines.
But that's exactly my point. Why should a successful series status depend on whether or not it became successful because of the anime? In the end it was still a huge success wasn't it?
Okay, outside being very popular what did Gintama do that was significant enough to be on the cover over Naruto?
That's true and I agree.
Good question. This whole argument is pointless.
I mean, I'd imagine most of these series would still be airing on TV. So it won't change much in that regard. Unless they're releasing like Devilman Crybaby did, and live action Netflix productions.
No, they won't be on TV. These are going to be legit Netflix original productions from now on and they'll only be on Netflix.
I don't care about weekly discussions as long as we get a good anime. I doubt they will get involved with any WSJ adaptation.

I don't think so, because I'm sure the Japanese side would also want this to air on TV for as much exposure as possible.
Ah, that would be a license from Netflix then.
I think they pay considerably more for something like that than they do for stuff they merely license.
Well, they could haggle with Funimation with the distribution rights, I'm pretty sure they can work some deal out. Although I agree that the likeliness of that happening is low. But on the other hand, MHA is a pretty big thing now, and the best part is yet to come. If Netflix wants to target the more mainstream anime fans, they cannot possibly pass up the chance to get MHA on their platform.
The only WSJ adaptation from either of those studios is MHA and I'm not sure any of them are going to pick up future WSJ adaptations. Neverland, maybe. But it's not a sure thing. But that said, I could see Netflix making a deal with Funimation somehow with MHA. Funimation can stream it weekly as usual, while Netflix saves it for their binge-watching crowds. The latter is Netflix's main demographic. The case I'm making for MHA is if there's a chance for it to get EVEN more exposure, then I'm all for it.
You let it sound as if that's a lot, but let be fair, just enough for a bowl of ramen.
Many anime that Netflix produced (rather than just licensed) also aired on TV, before or at the same time as releasing on Netflix.
