Anime has been in my life since I was a young tween. Seeing how many great titles have been created and how easy it has become to access them nowadays is truly exciting!
For fans of anime and manga like me, who love to follow the stories, cheer for their favorite characters, and collect anime merch, having so many streaming services offering new anime series is a treat compared to my younger years, says theotakubox.com.
Netflix has announced important additions to its anime list starting in early January 2024. Among them are brand-new shows and sequels to several fan favorites!
