In a recent press release, Netflix doubled down on their desire to build up their anime productions as they partnered with three more studios: Anima, David Production, and Sublimation. In the statement, Netflix Director of Content (Japan) John Derderian said:
“Netflix aims to be the most compelling and attractive home for anime fans, creators and production studios. We are creating an environment where production houses can do their best work, and deliver their shows on a service where we connect anime fans from over 190 countries to content they love.”
So, what are the projects? Well, we know a few of them. Altered Carbon: Resleeved will be an anime based on the live-action series that is being worked on with Anima. This is a project that was previously reported on that has now been officially announced. Meanwhile, Netflix is going to adapt the video game series Dragon’s Dogma with Sublimation as well. If you’re more into manga adaptations, then you’ll want to keep an eye out for the new adaptation of Spriggan from Netflix and David Production.
