Anime fans will now be able to enjoy a night in with Studio Ghibli after Netflix began streaming 21 films from the animation firm’s catalogue on Feb. 1. However, there’s a catch.
While Studio Ghibli enthusiasts in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region are celebrating the news, subscribers in Japan and North America are for the most part cursing the streaming service for being excluded from the deal.
Fans in Canada and the United States took to Twitter to show their disdain, despite the fact that the upcoming streaming platform HBO Max will have the films available in North America later this year.
