Netflix will rely more on its original content as other companies like Disney start streaming services. Anime could give Netflix a major advantage.
This is the Netflix Originals category. You're probably used to seeing a bunch of new shows when you scroll through, but have you noticed a lot more anime recently? It's not just because you watch"Aggretsuko" on your lunch break. Netflix's Director of Anime Taito Okiura said it planned to add 30 new anime series that year, and the company has already announced over a dozen anime series coming in 2019.
Over the past few years, Netflix has ramped up production of original content, producing more than five times the number of shows in 2018 than in 2016, and analysts think Netflix could spend around $15 billion on original content in 2019. For comparison, HBO usually spends around $2 billion.
Disney's original content doesn't include any anime, and Disney has said that their service will be family-oriented. So it probably won't include mature content seen in shows like Netflix's"Devilman Crybaby.
