This week, regarding this topic I'm writing about, episode 4 came out on Netflix. But today episode 5 came out in other places, after all, what is happening? Why is Netflix (a paid site) not ahead of other sites where we don't have to pay anything and already has the episode that Netflix releases in another week? I honestly think this is disrespectful to those who pay for the Netflix platform. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Because Dandandan, Orbe and Ranma½ are producing normally, however Blue box is like this. Type, why?
(sorry for the bad English)

The episodes are one week ahead in Japan, since 2 episodes premiered at once there. So most people are either pirating or using a VPN.

@Cestlavie_ Oh, I see. But even so, it was supposed to be up to the 5th episode on Netflix, am I wrong? It makes no sense to pay something to watch, and not follow the same release from Japan

@Spoof_490 I pay for Netflix myself, but I've never watched this anime there. I always watch it on websites because it's very late on Netflix.

Because whoever at the Blue Box production committee that decided this is an idiot and only thought about the Japanese audience

Just watch it up to date on a 🏴‍☠️ site and don’t feel guilty. You’re paying for it, it’s ok.

If using a Japanese VPN can episode 5 of this anime be watched?

DB Daima is having the same problem this season. Netflix released the first episode a week late, but Crunchyroll has it as simulcast. Idk why Netflix is doing this if they have the rights to the show already… I prefer their platform, but I just watch it on Crunchyroll because I see it sooner. They definitely need to fix this way of releasing things.

It’s just how it is, Netflix Japan paid for an exclusivity deal to release episodes 1 week earlier than Japanese TV Stations, and I’m sure the TV Stations didn’t want to be a week behind the rest of the world too. It was probably part of the terms of the deal that it would only apply to Japan.

@Kimercal ranma, Orbe and Dandandan are up to date. Only blue box which is delayed in other locations outside Japan.Netflix I think we are clowns it's not possible, I pay this to watch series but also anime, but it's like this with just the blue box, this it sucks
