While Crunchyroll remains the leading platform for mainstream anime streaming, Netflix has developed a growing catalogue of original anime productions as part of broader competition in the animated content space. The streaming service has invested in adapting various manga properties, competing alongside other platforms like Prime Video which distributes titles such as Ghost in the Shell, with each service working to expand its animated offering.

Netflix's anime adaptations employ distinct strategies for translating source material to screen. Productions like Blame! prioritise action-heavy spectacle over abstract philosophical complexity found in the original manga, whilst shows such as Dorohedoro demonstrate the studio's capacity for experimental tonal shifts and unconventional visual presentation. The platform's slate encompasses both manga-based properties and franchise extensions tied to established intellectual properties like Cyberpunk 2077, reflecting varied commercial approaches to audience appeal.
