because I only found out it was today because I was getting tickets for umamusume

i'm just glad it exists

What Netflix’s 2025 Tells Us About Their Evolving Anime Strategy Part 2 of our 2025 North American anime business year in review is all about Netflix: the MAPPA deal, non-exclusive titles, lots of love for Shueisha, and more.

part 2 of @milesofficial.bsky.social's big north american anime business year in review is all about Netflix, after they released their recent report about the second half of 2025, and that big deal with studio MAPPA. and yes, we did discuss yuri on ice open.substack.com/pub/animebyt...

Two boys with shoulder-length hair, one brunette, the other black-haired, wearing thick-lensed heavy-rimmed glasses. Kankichi Azemura is bellowing, "Don't disrespect people from Tochigi!", which is a funny way to say Charlestown.
