Netflix has a difficult reputation among anime fans. While the streamer has produced many recent hits and compiled beloved franchises—including Neon Genesis Evangelion and Studio Ghibli's filmography—into one convenient place, their release strategies have left global audiences divided. However, one unanimously disliked initiative by the platform has been their handling of live-action adaptations of beloved titles, resulting in panned projects such as Death Note and Cowboy Bebop.
