Netflix Cancels Popular Anime Series One Piece

Netflix's new anime series, 'Moonrise', produced by WIT Studio, explores an interplanetary conflict between Earth and the Moon, focusing on soldier Jacob 'Jack' Shadow seeking revenge after a family tragedy. Despite its high-quality animation and engaging storyline, the show's promotion has been criticized as lacking, leaving many fans concerned about its visibility. WIT Studio's producer, Ryoma Kawamura, expressed frustration on social media over Netflix's marketing efforts, even creating a promotional video himself to garner attention. In contrast, another new anime, 'Witch Watch', has premiered successfully, showcasing a comedic dynamic between a witch-in-training and her human-like ogre friend, garnering praise for its whimsical charm. Additionally, notable anime series like 'Naruto' and 'Naruto Shippuden' are set to leave Netflix by April 30, highlighting the platform's ongoing content changes. The contrasting promotion strategies and upcoming departures reflect the competitive landscape of anime on streaming services.
