New Anime on Netflix

It is becoming a stiff competition for Netflix with more and more streaming service in the market.  It seems that the platform also finds an ally with the new copyright law in Japan thereby regulating pirated anime content online. This 2021, check out the new upcoming anime on Netflix as officially announced during the Netflix Anime Festival 2020 Live Event.

Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

If you are a fun of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure then this one will make you excited.  Rohan, one of the characters from JJBA will be having its very own series.  Perhaps this will be the first time that a non-Jojo will be the focus of the story.  What do you think?

This series consists of four strange episodes that Kishibe Rohan, the manga artist from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable," saw and heard in a destination he visited to collect material for the manga.
