Netflixhas a strong slate of anime seriesfor this month, and the streamer decided to highlight all of them in a new video that teases what’s ahead for some of its biggest titles. Due to the simultaneous release with Japan, the streamer is slowly drifting away from its binge format to release new episodes weekly instead of waiting to debut all of them at once when the season is over. The strategy has been paying off, withanime titlesconstantly figuring among the top 10 most-watched titles on the platform.
The leading title this month is, of course,One Piece. The anime seriesreturned from a hiatusjust a couple of months ago, and now theEgghead ArcPart 2 is moving forward at full speed. In it, Luffy (voiced byMayumi Tanakain the original Japanese and byColleen Clinkenbeardin the English dub), Tony Tony Chopper (Ikue Ohtani/Brina Palencia), Zoro (Kazuya Nakai/Christopher Sabat), and therest of the Straw Hatsare working out a way to take Dr. Vegapunk (Tadano Yohei/Kent Williams) out of Egghead Island while the Five Elders plan a dangerous attack. Fans are expecting this arc to play out across 50 episodes or so, meaning that there are still many weeks to continue in the world of pirates before the final saga continues with the Elphab Arc.
It’s a good month forOne Piecefans. On top of the new weekly episodes of the series, they got to see a sneak peek ofSeason 2 of the live-action seriesthat introduced Tony Tony Chopper (played byMikaela Hoover) to the cast. The franchiseannounced a wholesome spin-offof the fan-favorite Straw Hat. Additionally, a new spin-off series is in the workswith a release date originally promised for 2025.
The ‘Harry Potter’ Anime Is Also on Netflix
The Netflix video also teases the new season ofMashle: Magic and Muscles, which is debuting on the platform on June 9. The series centers around a boy who goes to a magic school… only to prove that hedoesn’t need magic to solve his problems. The anime is an adventure with comedic elements, and it parodiesisekai storiesandHarry Potterwhile delivering somestrong action moments. All episodes will become available at once, since this is not a simultaneous release — fans are currently waiting for Season 3 of theanime series.
Also in the world of magic and comedy, Netflix will keep rolling out new episodes ofWitch Watch. The surprise hit anime seriescenters around a teenage witch who is still learning her craft. She teams up with an ogre and they start to deal withresponsibilities and endure high-school life together. The streamer also teased the new episodes ofYaiba: Samurai Legend, the action-comedy anime series that is gathering an impressive fan base. Last but not least, Netflix teasedUmamusume: Cinderella Gray— even though the series isn’t available to watch in the U.S. through Netflix. However, the streamer bothered to include it with English subtitles, which might hint that the series will reach Western fans at some point.
