It's cool to see a Nagai anime get this much of a push and production behind it. Guess that matches nagai's own feelings on devilman vs most of his other stuff, haha.

Netflix Japan wants more subscribers, so their first real push is with a Go Nagai title.

Lupin series for the most part seem like they're mostly a collection of self contained episodes and two parters so it's not something you have to binge or even finish to fully appreciate. I wish Series 1 was still on Hulu because I really enjoyed watching an episode or two when I wasn't in the mood for anything else.

There’s a generation of viewers, probably the majority of anime viewers even, who grew up on Dragonball Z after school on Toonami, and so we accept that Anime can be good and cool, but the apparent effort to enjoy most of it seemed to require you to become like the worst kind of dork imaginable, so it’s just easier to consume the sweet handpicked westernized ones that Cartoon Network kindly picked out for us.

So you’ve got people where they LOVE anime, but their anime experience is exclusively Naruto, DBZ, Pokémon, Digimon, Gundam Wing, Full Metal Alchemist, and Sailor Moon. Maybe Yu-Gi-Oh and Card Captors too.

Netflix’s anime offerings are more in line with those shows than with any of the other stuff.

Today's generation of casuals basically know of anime based primarily on what's available on Netflix, and if the thumbnail has a Netflix logo on it then it's a pro-click zone. It's not until I go to cons do I realize how many Seven Deadly Sins fans exist, and more so now that season 2 is airing in Japan and no streaming provider has said a word so they've been more vocal. I couldn't get my co-worker to watch One Punch Man despite all the raving endorsements until it appeared on Netflix, because that's all he watches.
