Netflix has always had a tough time establishing itself as a top anime streaming site, lacking popular titles and facing criticism for its distribution model. However, in recent years, Netflix has made significant improvements. In the spring of 2024, Netflix added hit series like My Hero Academia and Black Clover to its library, along with popular films such as One Piece Film: Red. One Piece, in particular, has benefited from Netflix's changes, with the platform now simulcasting episodes from the Egghead Island arc. While Netflix still struggles to compete with services like Crunchyroll in terms of weekly content, its focus on high-quality exclusives like Pluto and Devilman Crybaby sets it apart. Overall, Netflix's recent efforts have solidified its position as a major player in the anime industry, even if it may not dominate the market completely.
