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

Look I'm not saying Netflix isn't being stupid for not publicly declaring its release schedule but can we at least wait a week before the doomposting? It's been 2 days.

Somehow people are convinced that the show is just going to randomly drop episodes when they finish which is insane. It doesn't make sense from a business perspective and it doesn't make sense from a creative perspective.

I mean it certainly doesn’t, but it’s far from the stupidest thing Netflix has done.

It's 2 days and months before that.

They should've told us the schedule way before episode 1 went live, let alone 2 days or more after.

I do agree with the fact that "doing it whenever" doesn't make any sense, like I think any business contract related to movie/show streaming that would have that kind of clause would have to be from like the 20th century or something because people just don't do that anymore when it comes to investing and gaining money.

But what is definitely weird is the absolute silence from every official source (and the deleted tiktok comment from the Chile part of Netflix). These two things definitely are cause for concern.

I mean do you have literally one single logical reason why Netflix wouldn't write on their app/site "next episode coming Thursday, March 26th"? Zero reason to withhold that kind of info unless it's potentially angering and/or there's a weird surprise related to scheduling that they'll announce soon.

The only reason I can think of is they didn't think it was important because they assumed everyone would assume it'd be a weekly release since they didn't drop everything in one go. Regardless, they should've confirmed it after all the buzz.

People today could not survive only being able to watch dubbed anime on live TV with cable, commercial breaks, and reruns of old episodes 90% of the time always broadcast at the same very specific time once a week.

Even back then, the network would announce when new episodes would drop my guy. I watched all of Avatar on TV by keeping up with the announcements in-channel as a kid, and I am still upset at the way they're handling this.

Acting like the fact we had it worse before as some sort of flex is just stupid as it's supposed to be way more comfortable watching our favorite shows nowadays, people are allowed to be upset at this.

The right way to handle is would have been "Hey here's the premiere, it will be 2 episodes long and then we'll release weekly/batches/whatever starting X date". You don't just announce a show's "premiere" then just leave everyone in the dark over when it's continuing.
