Fair point. I think they could get a lot more aggressive, though. I'm conversational in Japanese, and I'd love to see Japanese variety/game shows on netflix.

There are thousands of hours of content that have never been available to the US market afaik - I think I've only seen them on youtube or dailymotion when not in japan. I wonder what the expense of subbing these shows would be. Perhaps they could do a non-exclusive licensing deal where they contribute the sub IP back to the IP holder for an even-further-reduced rate.
