Pocket monsters go on a relaxing holiday in the charming-looking Pokémon Concierge, a stop-motion animated series coming to Netflix. Here’s a trailer and more details:
It can’t be easy being a Pokémon, what with all that fighting and living inside a tiny, magical ball. It makes sense, then, that those pocket monsters would want a holiday now and again – which is where Netflix’s Pokémon Concierge comes in.
“When Pokémon need a break, they head to a peaceful resort to relax, looked after by a team of Pokémon concierges,” reads the brief logline for Netflix’s upcoming stop-motion animated series.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Pokémon go on holiday – the trippy short film Pikachu’s Vacation accompanied the franchise’s first big-screen outing – imaginatively called Pokémon: The First Movie – all the way back in 1998. Seeing those whimsical monsters brought to life using stop-motion is,...

Netflix released lists of its most popular content in Japan, Korea, India and Malaysia on Monday, showing that a mix of American shows and local language content best captured hearts and eyeballs in Asia this year — with Michael Bay’s “6 Underground” the only title that proved a top hit in all territories.
Netflix said the most-watched lists had been made by tallying the number of accounts that had streamed at least two minutes of the content in question during its first 28 days on the platform in 2019.
In Japan, five out of ten of the top ten works of the year are Netflix originals. Three are animated, while a fourth is a live-action adaptation of an anime. The top-viewed content was the semi-biographical live-action Japanese-language series “The Naked Director,” which chronicles Japan’s porn industry in the 1980s through the story of real-life, controversial adult video director Toru Muranishi, played by Takayuki Yamada.

Just as spring is about sprung, Netflix has revealed its lineup of new content hitting the service in April — along with what movies and TV shows will no longer be available come next month.
April brings several originals to the streamer, including “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 2” (April 5), Kevin Hart’s first Netflix stand-up special (April 2), and interactive adventure series “You vs. Wild,” coming April 10.
Season 2 of “Sabrina” finds the heroine exploring her darker side, caught between a love triangle while trying to hold on to her mortal friendships. “Kevin Hart: Irresponsible” features the comedian entertaining a sold-out audience of 15,000 at London’s O2 Arena. And in “You vs. Wild,” viewers make decisions for Bear Grylls as he tries to survive and complete missions in Earth’s most dangerous environments.

After spending years in distribution right hell, Netflix has finally cracked the code and the EVAs are set to take flight once again! Neon Genesis Evangelion is coming to Netflix!
Netflix has done a fabulous job of expanding its, once-lacking, anime library with titles like Seven Deadly Sins, Godzilla, Aggretsuko, and Castlevania, just to name a small few. With 2019 being just around the corner, the streaming giant has announced their lineup of anime shows releasing next year. Chief among them is one of the most beloved, influential, and controversial animes of all time, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
In Spring 2019, the legendary anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion returns after being in distribution hell for quite some time. For several years, the rights issue was so tricky, DVDs weren't even allowed to be printed in several countries. This streaming agreement has changed all of that, as all 26 Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes will be available...

Get ready to learn how to say “what the hell just happened?” in Japanese. “Neon Genesis Evangelion,” one of the most acclaimed — and straight up weird — works in anime history, will be available to stream globally for the first time when it debuts on Netflix in 2019.
The announcement came during Netflix’s Anime Lineup Presentation, held Tuesday in Tokyo.
Produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko Production, “Neon Genesis Evangelion” originally aired on TV Tokyo from October 1995 to March 1996. Set in the far-future year of 2015, the show tracks a war between humans, defended by pilots who control giant bio-machines called “Evangelions,” and aliens called “Angels.” Drawing imagery from Kabbalah, Christianity and Judaism, “Evangelion” is particularly celebrated — and notorious — for its insane ending. The uninitiated can watch the teaser trailer above.
