Alliance to co-produce, stream anime episodes worldwide

Streaming service Netflix announced a comprehensive business alliance with anime studios Production I.G and BONES on Wednesday. With this tie-up, Netflix will co-produce anime episodes from the studios and stream them in 190 countries.

The alliance includes both Production I.G and its sister anime studio in the IG Port group, Wit Studio . (IG Port is also the parent company of anime studios Xebec and Signal.MD , but Netflix did not mention those studios in its announcement.)

With this collaboration, Netflix aims to strengthen its animation lineup for its members worldwide with "high-quality anime from Japan." Netflix describes the relationship as a "win-win-win" for its members, anime creators, and anime production.
