If you look closely enough you can see a clear trend regarding Netflix's content strategy. They will continue to make movies like Bird Box, B-style movies and "cult classics" that they can draw big numbers to via their reach and marketing.
Oscar contenders like Roma and Beast of No Nation (a bit early for it's time if you ask me).
Partnerships with foreign content makers to act as an international distributor (BBC produced, Golden Globe Winner, The Bodyguard for example).
Top quality original TV: The Crown for example, fueled by contracts with big name show-runners and writers to produce them (Shonda Rhymes).
And finally, high value syndication targets (Friends, Mad Men, The Office).
Netflix's content allocation seems pretty clear, the next few years will be optimization at the margins.
- gh02t 8y agoNetflix has also been pushing anime/anime-style originals. I think this is a pretty interesting strategy, anime is relatively cheap to produce and is niche but has a huge fanbase worldwide.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoAnd some of them are pretty damn good depending on your interest. Theres a few decent mecha ones at least. I am sure they will eventually land the rights to a solid winner. I do like the end result too lots of subs in different languages and I feel like they dub it in different languages too. The best of both worlds for any type of anime fan.
- nojvek 8y agoAny good Anime you recommend ? I loved Violet Evergreen. It was very well done as an animation. The others are “your lie in April”. That legit made me sob. I usually don’t get that emotional. (Although not a Netflix original).
- mayoff 8y agoDeath Note was fantastic. Much better than I expected after reading a synopsis of the premise.
- bopbop 8y agoDeath note is almost a reverse bird box. Bird box has an excellent premise, which turns out to just be a hook on which to hang some character development (I did quite enjoy it though). Death note has a really derivative premise, and then goes nuts drilling down in to the exact mechanics of how such a thing would work - there's no deus ex machina (apart from the literal god of the plot), instead it plays within it's own rules very exactly and never cheats the audience, instead introducing very clever "hacks" to its own system.
- grwthckrmstr 8y agoTry Akame ga Kill, love the action sequences
- throwaway415415 8y agoGantz: O is CGI but oh my... It's amazing.
- alexgmcm 8y agoCode Geass and Death Note were the best for me.
- Yptur 8y agoI feel like Castlevania is a really cool take on Anime. It has a different style than the usual Anime and the fight scenes are amazing. I was surprised it is actually any good.
- grawprog 8y agoI was really disappointed in the second season. It felt like it suffered from the usual problems of the second season of a lot of netflix originals I've watched. For castlevania in particular, the art and animation really declined between the first and second season, the tone and atmosphere seemed totally different and the story just kinda went offs the rails. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season, it was one of the best video game adaptations i've seen but the second season just didn't quite do it for me. It just felt rushed and cheap.
- yboris 8y agoKill la Kill and One Punch Man are phenomenal!
- oweiler 8y agoIf you like Kill La Kill you probably also like Gurren Lagann (which is done by the same team).
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 8y agoIt's pushing anime but the originals made by netflix are incredibly low quality (really low) and plot is ok at most. Disclaimer: I watch a lot of animes since most tv shows don't come even close to their plots, soundtracks and epic moments.
