Here's an idea, Netflix: if you don't go with the uncut and weekly simulcast approach, how about waiting until a show is finished airing in Japan to license it?
If they do that, someone else will get the license. Licensing starts sometimes years or months before the season begins.
Alternatively, you help fund the show but a company like Funi is the actual distributor (home video and streaming).
That will be a bad business idea for them. You fund a show because you expect to get something, and for netflix, that's either 1) new subscribers or 2) content their current subscribers they want. They fund a show so they can put it on their platform.

Because Legend of the sanctuary.
Also Lost Canvas anime adaptations as nothing to do with the rest of the franchise.
aren't they flopping? that's what least thing i heard from it...
Nope, Saint Seiya franchise is pretty good. So good it will get this new remake and the Santia anime.

I'm sorry if I told you you were wrong. In fact I Was going to edit it, oh well.
No hard feelings.

Could you give me some proof? Maybe an article stating that those anime were made with Netflix as a producer?
I'm sorry if I told you you were wrong. In fact I Was going to edit it, oh well.
Oh well. The only proof I have is the "Netflix" writing when you look at the anime in the home. Often "netflix original" appears at the ending (or at the beginning) of the video

Nanatsu no Taizai, Little Witch Academia and Ajin
And no, I don't mean hits in Japan. When I say "hits" I mean "anime with positive feedback" here in MAL
I do not think any of those are produced by Netflix. They're simply being streamed by Netflix.
Well you are wrong
I'm quite sure about it

I am quite interested in AICO. From the PV, it's looking pretty good visually. I am not really sure about everything else though. I trust the director will deliver a good anime.
Netflix anime have always great quality production + hits
Really? Could you give some examples? I am pretty sure Netflix-produced anime so far haven't always been great and become greatest hits among anime fans.

Disappointed Lost Song has no animation to show yet, LIDEN too...
A.I.C.O: Incarnation looks alrightish? Hope Kazuya Murata can make that work. Not as high quality as Gargantia on the looks but the style is similar and I dig that.
It does look more like Captain Earth-Bones than the Bones that has done recent stuff but I won't be totally pessimist about it.
It does look like Kazuto Nakazawa is making the designs for B: The Beginning along with directing so at least the character will look nice but I have no idea what he has to offer as a director.
