Maybe, I'll check the 1st ep, but the doubts are high.

On that note, I don't have a lot of high hopes for this show. Kinda reminds me of Psycho Pass, which I hated. Staff seems to be pretty meh as well and the character designs are looking really bland

Though Amazon is way worse

Most of the hate comes from them not releasing the episodes while it's airing. If you take that out of the equation I don't think they're doing a bad job. I'm a binge watcher so Netflix schedule doesn't really affect me.
I'm not exactly sure what counts as a Netflix anime. I think they're been involved in these shows?

If every show they made was complete crap I would be worried, but I don't think that's the case. I hope they continue to make more anime.
I think the same devilman crybaby and b the beginning was very good

by funding this butchering of anime called "Westernized anime"
I don't see any "westernization" of the productions, it's simply a throwback to some old trends (80s, 00s, maybe?).

Can't wait for the release.

Obligatory you don't know anything about the production of Tokyo Ghoul if you think Pierrot had anything to do with those decisions.
What? You honestly think the author said give this to your backup studio to ensure that the animation is absolute garbage. And don't forget to make sure the story doesn't make sense at all. Make sure you don't include any new music too. Sorry but this is 100% Pierrot's fault. Maybe a bit on the publisher for deciding to use them in the first place.
Also quick question when you say they have a good reputation in Japan where are you getting this from? I haven't found anything indicating whether it's good or bad.
Yeah. If you didn't know Ishida is involved with :re anime. Pierrot isn't some big bad boogeyman.

By vomiting lots of money on barely-not-crisis studios, by funding this butchering of anime called "Westernized anime", by making a big promotion campaign out of poor anime.
Even if you hate the popular genre of traditional anime, you can't deny that there is some good in them, what good is in all that has Netflix in its name?
Their Godzilla is a perfect example.
....it's just bad anime gone digital. it won't make anything more interesting.
