You mention Arcane, and that reminds me that Netflix's support of animation is really undervalued. LD&R has been mentioned, but they also helped bankroll a ton of marquee projects from Science Saru (Devilman Crybaby, DanDaDan), Orange (Beastars, Trigun Stampede), and Trigger (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Delicious in Dungeon). They picked up Pantheon and Scavenger's Reign. They've got another season of Blue Eye Samurai coming. Oh, and K-Pop Demon Hunters.
If you care about animation as either a visual or storytelling medium, Netflix has made a lot of the best movies and series of the past few years possible or accessible. (Having to pirate Pantheon S2 because it was initially only released in Australia was not fun.)
Oh wow. There's a clear trend in that data with newer winners being cheaper and cheaper to make. The clearest proof of the democratization of animation I've seen.
And wow animated movies used to be expensive. I think Netflix's Arcane and Blue Eye Samurai are also part of a new wave of great animation for teenagers/adults that is happening because technology has made it more economical.
I've just watched Blue Eye Samurai [1] on Netflix - season 1 was released early this month and I honestly hope they continue with this show. I highly recommend it, but I'm also writing this hoping we can boost its signal, so they don't cancel it.
