Naruto & Inuyasha
Netflix will soon be losing a collection of classic anime content in the form of numerous Naruto and InuYasha movies. Here’s what’s leaving, when it’s leaving and where it’s leaving.
It’s important to note that with anime, licensing is often hard to track and that removals aren’t always final. We’ve seen with titles like Attack on Titan where licensing comes and goes rapidly and without prior warning and remains, at least to us, a bit of an enigma.
All that is to say that while these titles are all due to leave Netflix on September 1st, it may not be forever and could be renewed before this date.
