Does Netflix need to stream anime weekly?

Should Netflix make an exception or adaption to their binge watching rule for anime. Either stream episodes weekly like everybody else, or have partnership with someone else to stream their anime weekly temporary.

There is no reason or harm if a place like Cruncyroll or Hulu stream shows like Seven Deadly Sins and Little Witch Academia weekly on a temporary basis. I mean why not?

What they doing now, it is keeping piracy and fan subs in the game.

Yes. The majority of the anime fandom isn't going to wait a half-year for Little Witch Academia, so they're pirating it.

Some countries have put up live-action shows from the US weekly, so it's not like it's a Netflix policy not to do it. It's just an annoying typical practice they have.

The anime studios they should insist that Netflix stream their shows when they come out in Japan weekly, I know they anime studio they are fighting piracy as they bet can, which is why shows are made available international much quicker. Used to be you had to wait maybe years to watch something legally, but services like Cruncyroll has changed that, but now Netflix is setting us back.

It'd be nice.
Netflix needs to realize series and fandoms aren't one size fits all, especially with anime.

Netflix doesn't really need to do anything right now. They are raking in tons of money. Maybe if their business model implodes at some point, but they don't really need to change how they are doing things.

I think it's nice they are getting a lot of anime content that's exclusive to them. I didn't know how I was going to watch Devilman vs. Cyborg 009 until it came on Netflix, much to my surprise.
