| We all are use to the weekly release, but do you rather the netflex format where they release every episode all at once? I personally love binge watching anime or show that I like, but at the same time, I think the buzz/hype and discussion will be less and will also not last long due to every episode being release at once, not to mention there will be no theory crafting per episodes, since all the episodes are release all at once, unless the series is not finish and there will be a sequel. 13 Reason why and stranger things are successful shows that had hype and are fairly popular. People that are not interested in discussion wont be bother by this, but from my research netflex has claimed that most people would rather all episodes be release at once. All episodes of Relife was release all at once, and I notice that only the first and last episode had the most discussion base on mal, since most persons will just binge it and thus most discussion will be focus on the last episode. Also what do you guys think about netflex funding Japanese studios to make anime original series exclusively for them? Are you with them or against it? I personally think it is a great idea, and hope they're successful with it. A.I.C.O.: Incarnation is a netflex original for example. |
| Depends really. I mean, I wouldn't wanna watch Shirobako in one sitting. As for general stuff, I don't really have a preference. As for Netflix funding, neutral on that part. |
| yearly like they did it in the old times i find it so weird that Angel Cop was released over 6 years ... no wonder the studio died imediatly XDD |
 |
| I prefer all episodes to be released at once cause I lose interest if I can't watch at my own pace. |
 |
| Weekly releases are fine if you like to debate a lot with other people after the episode aired but it can be annoying to have to wait months to finally have a conclusion (and sometimes you don't even get that). As far as I'm concerned, I'm a lot more partial to the idea of getting all the episodes at once nowadays. I'm able to stay motivated to watch the whole thing at once instead of losing interest halfway through in the case of seasonals. |
 |
| For episodic shows i don't care but for the ones with a plot i prefer full release so i don't forget the details of the previous weeks. The same for manga, i prefer reading an already finished one than waiting for the weekly/monthly release. |
 |
| I think it depends, for me personally I quite like weekly and I voted as such. Depending on the anime I like figuring things out. So a psychological show should NEVER be released all at once since I need the pause to work out what happened, what is going to happen and other things. But a slice of life I think could suit all at once. In general though I think weekly is better since it helps savour each episode and if you binge you might not have enough time to remember character names or even care about them. And for the Netflix funding, well nothing has happened yet so we can't say much. But new ideas and anime is never a bad thing. |

| Another thread about the same thing ? Well here we go again. Weekly because netflix "anime system" is cancer.

 |
| I'm not a binge watcher and weekly releases makes it easier for people to have discussions about each individual episode, that's just me some other people would like to watch a show all at once to have a general idea of how it really is to decide if they'll keep watching it or not without having to wait a week for the "deal breaker" episode |

Netflex has funded Japanese company to start creating anime exclusively for them, for example A.I.C.O.: Incarnation. Or do you mean if this move will be successful or not when they are released?

The anime are still the same since they are being produce in Japan by a Japanese company, so I don't see why anyone would be against it. All they're doing is funding studios to make their own anime, which also will give studios another option to make money other than the traditional blu ray disc, merchandise etc. |
| I would rather take the "release all at once on DVDs". What's the point of finding something I really liked through a free broadcast or payed service if I can't later own the series and have it for myself. @keragamming It's only interesting if you are desperate about their productions. What is rather limited, they mainly rebroadcast series. Plus, I meant professional DVDs, not streaming files burned (or I would have never bother buying DVD sets for already burned fansubs). |

There is a option on netflex where you can download the episodes. And if you want it on dvd, burn the episodes on a dvd. It's that simple really. |
| Well as long as ALL the episodes get released to everyone at the same time. I rather watch it in one go. |

[/quote] Yeah, by nothing has happened I meant as in there are no results, merely funding a company does absolutely nothing, its the results that matter and there are none as of yet (none that I've heard although I haven't looked.) So until it comes out and we see if it was good or bad we can't really say anything except expectations. |

| Do people REALLY have such short attention spans that they can't watch one episode per week without forgetting half of what happened? WTF? Is it really that hard? |
 |
| Weekly makes more sense because then you can watch it when they make them if you want or you can watch it all at once when it's done. If it's all released at once that basically means your only option is to wait until production is finished before you're even allowed to start it. |
  |
| +1^ İ watch them once when all episodes relased but i might want watch before that why would i delete my option weekly better ofc you still can wait airing to fnish. |
 |
| Weekly, because then I can drop it if it sucks with the least amount of my time and money wasted. |
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97"  |
| Weekly because even bad shows become more interesting |
| I'm glad that ReLife got all the episodes released at once, that show was too good to watch one a week |
 |
| The only thing releasing the episodes at once would make me want to do is wait longer to watch the series. Especially if it's at the end of the season like the Netflix example provided because at that point if I had any major seasonals planned I would be clearing out my list for those. As for half of your points, they pretty much take all the fun out of watching airing anime. If it's a really good season and all the shows had that format only a couple would get any attention and it would be short lived. Cliffhangers are great for engagement and keeping up hype from episode to episode. Binging shows that use that feature just drains the life out of the series. You mentioned theory-crafting like it's a bad thing but that's just another form of engagement and potentially discussion. I mean if you're presented an interesting series and you aren't trying to guess what happens next I'm going to assume it's not anything special because it isn't keeping you engaged as a viewer. For the last point I can't say I'm opposed to it because Toonami does the same thing the difference being Toonami is much more accessible so I would probably just skip most Netflix exclusives since they aren't worth the sub price to me. So it's more of I don't care but it's not a particularly new idea, the only thing new about it is they keep the rights on lock. |

| Definitely all at once. That is why Netflix is so superior to TV channels. When I hear about a cool new show that just came out I can usually just watch it right away, and not watch 2 episodes and then wait for weeks and pray it doesn't turn to shit. Not to mention that without the pressure of weekly deadlines there is more time to polish up episodes and therefore most likely less wonky frames that have to be fixed for the BD release. Unplanned recap episodes are also usually because of scheduling so those wouldn't be a thing anymore. I literally only see upsides. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
Blarey said: I will always prefer weekly because I don't like waiting for things. lmao but weekly forces you to wait a LOT. Every week. For at least 3 months. Releasing everything at once makes you able to watch it all without even having to wait a second on any of the episodes. I hate waiting too and that is why I love releasing everything at once. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| @Blarey but by releasing it all at once, you can have more constant quality and less time/budget constraints, resulting in a better end product. There's a reason why many (MANY) studios redraw stuff for DVD/blu-ray releases (and I mean it, some scenes are just vastly different between airing stuff and DVD) |

I'd rather Western animation copy the "anime style" and blaze their own trail of glory. There are so many beautiful stories to adapt that would be problematic as a live-action but would be perfectly fine as an animated series. And the varied influx and influence of the many cultures and sensibilities is the perfect melting pot for stories that will bring animation leaps forward. |

| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Prefer weekly. Its hard to find a show that I enjoy and want to continue watching. So even though I'm waiting between episodes, I prefer to wait and be able to look forward to something next week. Rather than finding something and finishing it in 1 night, then spending days/weeks not finding something to watch. Plus when watching something in one go, it tends to skew how good/bad I remember the show being. Since I'm not giving myself time to think about the episode and what has happened. Instead I'm going straight into the next one. |

Yeah but you have to wait an extra three months just to see the episodes and you might end up not even liking the show at all I would rather wait a few weeks and watch a few episodes at a time or watch weekly if I want. At least I have the option to watch it. The wait 3 extra month doesn't apply to netflex original exclusive series though, you know the one that I use in my example, I think that only applies to tv series, since those netflex series wont be aired on tv. Those I believe will be world wide premier, just like the death note movie that will be release this week world wide. |

| Quality is most likely better if they planned ahead in finishing all the episodes and releasing all at once instead of trying to do an episode per week. Plus, if I wanted to watch a "weekly" release, I can just choose to watch 1 episode per week to have that "effect". I prefer binge watching anyways. |
 |
| All episodes at once. I prefer binge watching. |
| Binge. For me in weekly format hype dies after 2 days, after 7 days I just don't care anymore and I forget that there is new episode. For example, Death Parade, loved it, watched it weekly to 5-6 episode. I skipped one week, forgot to ever return. |
| 3 setps to become Masochist: 1. Read source material 2. Watch anime adaptation 3. Suffer Bonus Step: Tell everyone that anime is crap becouse Manga/Novel is better (duh..) How to find the worst trash anime ever, so bad that people should be ashamed for even knowing this trash exist: 1. Check your favorite anime 2. Enjoy your shit taste pleb Works everytime for everyone. |
| Weekly, seriously releasing all together can just be bad like I was hyped for Little Witch Academia and now I haven't bother to even pick it and overall series popularity itself declined rapidly when it wasn't simulcasted |
 |
| If all anime starts to get released in one batch I would still watch one a week provided it's still divided into episodes |
