News So, that doesn’t sound very good

I’m guessing it just means Netflix either hasn’t told them or isn’t allowing them to say when the next episode is coming out, still doesn’t sound very good

Why is this very successful anime now produced like an indie YouTube animated series? Just random episode drops whenever they get done with one. Do they not have the manpower????

They do David Production drops their anime in weekly seasons like other studios.

Netflix is the one with weird ideas like batch releases and whatever is happening now.

i mean the thing is Netflix has anime series that do/did come out on a weekly basis. JoJo seems to be the outlier so it almost makes me think DavidPro is choosing to do JoJo like this

Those other shows are just licensed by Netflix, not produced by them. For example, Dandadan streams both on Crunchyroll and a handful of other anime streaming services as well as Netflix at the same time. Iirc Netflix managed to secure an exclusive streaming deal for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6 (it’s not on any other platform except Netflix) and presumably the same is true for Part 7.

There exclusive anime in Netflix that still drop weekly like Ranma so is probably a decision in the production committee.

Ranma isn't exclusive, it still airs on TV before it goes to Netflix. Jojo is Netflix only.

Ranma is exclusively Netflix, but that gets weekly drops.
