If you haven't heard of this, nobody has. It was a massive bomb in the Japanese box office, and the fact it's being dumped on Netflix is likely Level-5 attempting to make some money back on it.

Shit, were they really hated? Damn, I was really excited for both of them as well as Lupin the 1st.
They have a lot to sort out, but how is this a weird decision? I'm not sure what about them putting the movie on Netflix would elicit this kind of response, especially given the type of movie it is.
No, the weird decisions is making this movie in the first place. Bringing it to Netflix is fine.
Oh my god, really? I was really looking forward to it. This is amazing news!
Could be the perfect excuse to finally start Ni no Kuni 2, as well.

Hey at least this is a good decision by L-5 since they likely made some money with a Netflix deal.
Probably not enough to recoup how much of a bomb the movie was, but still.
If it was a theater situation I'd agree with you, but the way Netflix works means a lot of people could see the Ghibli-style art and click on it. Not sure if Netflix has any other big anime releases coming up soon to contest it, either. Saint Seiya coming a few days later might throw it off.
Dunno if it'd help a flop break even, though.

That implies someone saw it to indicate if it was.
We'll find out when it comes out here.

I know it's also coming to Australia so I'm assuming it will be a worldwide release.
Xenoblade X story >>>> whatever new drivel Hino concocted in his basement filled with kodomo and isekai manga/dvds but nice attempt, I guess.
Imagine that.
I'm one of the few that liked Ni no kuni 2 despite its flaws so I'll watch this if it comes to French netflix.
Box office bust is not necessarily related to the quality of the movie - lots of utter shite gets lots of views - so I'll judge when I see it.
Hope the DQ movie gets added to French netflix too - I was spoiled the « twist » on twitter and on here but I still want to watch it .

Wow, that looks really cool. The Games were both incredibly boring, but amazing to look at. Hopefully they make more of the story in the movie.
If not knowing how to run a business requires being generally successful for 22 years, they yes, they have no idea how to run a business.
Ayy I see that 3d Saint Seya show is getting more episodes. Will sit down with my friends and give these new episodes a watch lol
Ok. Let me change it to: They've been successful for so long but now they're making decisions that make worry about their future. I think they should focus on making a big hit first before pushing into a media franchise.
Better?
I suppose, but I still don't really think their recent actions are particularly weird or awful at all! For a studio with less than 400 employees, they're doing great. There are bigger studios who ship fewer games and sell less units overall, so I wouldn't be concerned tbh. They've got tons of experience with building media around their series, so I really don't think NNK getting a sixty minute movie is a problem even if the series isn't the hottest thing around.
Idk how you can see the production of the next Inazuma Eleven game, and not think it is weird. The anime that was meant to promote it already ended, and the toy manufacture for it has gave up waiting and decided to just sent their merchandise out to the market.
Oh damn, it's not Ghibli, it's just Hisaishi (and what looks to be the character designer or a really good imitator). Just like Ni No Kuni 2.
Its OLM, the Pokemon movie people.
... I haven't seen Pokemon movies for a while, so dunno what that means but I did beat Ni no Kuni 2 and this looks like a much more bite sized investment.

If I listen to US movie reviewers I'd never watch any movie ever.. like, ever! I'm interested so I'm going to watch it.
I mean, what we're they supposed to do? It's not realistic to just say "hey, pause the anime and toys, we have to wait on this". It's unfortunate, but not unreasonable.
I heard this movie was good and set itself apart from the games whch are entirely different. Cant wait to see what its all about
Most of the reviews I saw (english and japanese) praised the animation, direction and music but argued that the story was it's weak point. Hopefully it can actually be a nice surprise there.
I think the problem is mostly the story. You see, they added a twist
in which they explain that the film was not an accurate recreation of the game story because its actually a VR isekai (ala Sword Art Online) and the final enemy is a computer virus... or something.
