Netflix will be running a total of 28 animes this month alone, but why? You have 5 new ones, but I can't understand why you e.g. Take down Deathnote or Tokyo Ghoul.
Google says:
Who doesn't know that, because you want to rewatch an anime and then you'll no longer find it on Netflix and Co. But why is that?
Licenses are always granted for a certain period of time, regardless of whether for streaming, TV or for disc publication. After the contractually stipulated period has expired, there's usually an option for an extension, but the parties also have to come to another financial agreement. Whether the access or sales figures justify renewed licensing is always at the discretion of the respective platform / label. For example, Netflix paid $ 100 million for the worldwide rights to ten seasons of the comedy series Friends. And that for a year! Most likely, an anime license won't be that expensive, but in the end the costs will have to be recovered.
Probably because the anime are so popular that the license fees are too high. If that's not popular enough on Netflix, they won't renew the license.
License expired
The licenses have expired
But that also happens with series
Which is actually sadder
I can only agree with the previous speaker. You should listen to them. She has already helped me with important problems. And I had a lot of them because of my romantic nature.
Netflix just can't extend everything. They would have to pay more money for it.
That would be the case with any production, except for the originals.
This is not only the case with Netflix. Rights holders want to earn money from it in the future too. If Netflix pays 20,000 (just an example) for 2 years, Netflix has to pay another 20,000.
And we all want to see something new, instead of Netflix always extending the current series and spending the money on it.
So my life would be too short to always see the same thing. That's why I'm on the Internet, otherwise I can also watch TV.
But that doesn't mean that they won't buy a license again at some point. There have been series / films again.
