Disclaimer: This is an exclusive, one-time, co-streaming deal. We’re pumped for you to be a part of the live event but after the stream wraps up, you can’t upload individual episodes of Castlevania: Nocturne or keep them as VODs.
Will this open the door to further anime adaptations?
The event will showcase a number of upcoming anime projects, and it will be a great opportunity for Netflix to gauge interest in these projects. If the event is successful, it could encourage Netflix to invest in more anime adaptations in the future. The timing of the event could not have been more perfect, right after the success of the One Piece live-action.
Netflix Drop 01 will be available to stream on Netflix’s YouTube channel. This means that it will be accessible to a wider audience than a traditional anime show. This could help to introduce anime to a new audience and could lead to more people becoming interested in anime adaptations.
Conclusion
Netflix Drop 01 will open the doors to further anime adaptations is a much hoped-for wish. However, the event’s potential to reach a wider audience and the success of Netflix’s previous anime adaptations fairly suggest that it is a strong possibility.
