Me in the future: "Nobody watches anime anymore. It's too popular"

Ampere Analysis sees that anime has become a mainstream culture in the U.S. and Europe with significant potential for expansion from $31.2 billion in 2023 to $60.1 billion by 2030.

Spotify (SPOT) also reported an increase of 395% in anime music streams since 2021.

Netflix are so fucking terrible for anime, though. The way they handle "simulcasts" is absolutely embarrassing, and their exit from the industry cannot come a moment too soon.

Surely that must mean they don't need to raise their prices anymore, right?

Man, if only Disney could figure out how to promote the anime that it has rights to, it might actually make some money with Disney+ (probably not though). Instead, they are all left to wither away in Disney jail.

Which anime are they letting rot like this? Anywhere I can find a list? I'd like to make sure I have archived copies, obtained some other way, since they won't let me pay for them.

Some recent ones I can think of would be Undead Unluck and Go Go Loser Ranger. I did find this list. I think some of these might also be available on Hulu (mostly owned by Disney iirc) as well. However, I am on mobile and can't really double check right now.

Earlier this month I started watching Dungeon Meshi for the first time and I liked it so much I watched through the japanese english and german dubs. If Netflix keeps making shows like it I'll keep paying
