Netflix unveils anime lineup at AnimeJapan: Discover what's in store
Attention, anime lovers! On Saturday, Netflix unveiled its extensive anime lineup for 2024 at the AnimeJapan exhibition—the annual consumer event that took place at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan. It will conclude on Tuesday (March 26). Numerous production companies, including Netflix, participated in the event, with the streaming giant introducing its forthcoming anime lineup, featuring ambitious crossover events like Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura.
Why does this story matter?
Netflix has been successfully meeting the needs of anime fans in recent years and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. It bolstered its collection of original anime and anime-inspired series in 2023, gradually phasing out the renewal of licenses for certain titles. This shift, however, resulted in fewer seasons for some series, while others vanished entirely. Fortunately, these adjustments only proved to be a prudent strategic decision.
A closer look at Netflix's 2024 anime lineup
The 2024 Netflix anime lineup includes Delicious in Dungeon, currently streaming, and The Grimm Variations, set to release on April 17. Other titles include T-P Bon, with Season 1 releasing on May 2 and Season 2 on July 17, and My Oni Girl releasing on May 24. The much-anticipated crossover event, Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura is scheduled for a June 6 release, followed by Ultraman: Rising on June 14.
