Old Japanese legend meets futuristic dream world? Yes, please.
Cosmic Princess Kaguya! reimagines the classic folktale ‘The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter’ in a bold new way. The film marks the directorial debut of Shingo Yamashita, who previously wowed fans with opening sequences for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 and Chainsaw Man.
Let’s start with speed. Real speed.
100 Meters, based on the manga by Uoto, hit Japanese theaters in September 2025 before landing on Netflix and exploding in popularity. Produced by Rock n Roll Mountain, the film centers on Togashi, a track prodigy who wins every 100-meter race without even trying.
Sounds perfect, right? Wrong.
Togashi has always been the fastest. But when you win too easily, what are you really running toward? The film dives into pressure, ego, identity, and the loneliness of talent.
After more than 20 years, this legendary series finally landed on Netflix earlier this year.
Based on the manga by Hideaki Sorachi and animated by Sunrise, Gintama starts as pure comedy chaos. Gintoki Sakata and his odd-job crew get into ridiculous situations in a world reshaped by alien invasion.
It makes you laugh. Then suddenly it punches you in the feelings.
If you’re craving romance with artistic drama, this one is pure comfort.
Written by celebrated shojo creator Yoko Kamio, known for Boys Over Flowers and Cat Street, this Netflix original takes us back to the 1990s.
Lili Ichijouin leaves Japan to study at Saint Thomas Art Academy in London. But there’s a catch: if she doesn’t stay at the top of her class, her parents will drag her home.
Pressure? Massive.
Then she meets Kit Church, a talented student with secrets of his own. Produced by WIT Studio, the show blends young love, ambition, and the fear of failure.
This one is historic.
Lost in Starlight is the first globally released Korean anime film, streaming exclusively on Netflix. Produced by Climax Studios, it is set in 2050 and blends retro style with futuristic design.
Nan-young dreams of leading a Mars expedition but fails to qualify. Back in Korea, she meets Jay, a former musician who now repairs vintage audio equipment.
Both are dealing with abandoned dreams. Both find comfort in each other.
But there’s a catch. They may have to part ways.
Good news: Season 1 of Wind Breaker has arrived on Netflix March 2, 2026.
Animated by CloverWorks, the series follows Sakura Haruka, a delinquent who transfers to Furin High School, hoping to become the strongest fighter around.
But surprise! The so-called troublemakers at this school are actually protecting their town from real gangs.
Here’s another countdown.
Mob Psycho 100, animated by Studio Bones, leaves Netflix on May 22, 2026.
Based on the manga by ONE, the same creator behind One-Punch Man, the series follows Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob.
Mob has overwhelming psychic powers. But he just wants to be normal. He works under Arataka Reigen, who may or may not be taking advantage of him.
Time is ticking.
Forest of Piano, also known as ‘The Piano Forest’, will leave Netflix on September 28, 2026. After that, legal streaming becomes difficult.
Based on the manga by Makoto Isshiki and animated by Gaina, the story follows Kai Ichinose, a boy from a rough neighborhood who discovers a piano hidden in a forest.
A former prodigy, Sosuke Ajino, notices his talent and mentors him. Alongside his classmate Shuehei Amamiya, Kai enters the intense world of classical music.
Witches, ogres, vampires, tengu. It’s all here.
Based on the manga by Kenta Shinohara and animated by Bibury Animation Studio, Witch Watch follows Morihito Otogi, a high school boy hiding his identity as an ogre.
His childhood friend Nico Wakatsuki returns after training in the Holy Land of Witches. She learns her life may soon be in danger, and Morihito agrees to become her familiar.
It’s funny. It’s sweet. And underneath the fantasy madness, it’s about friendship and growing up.
Last but urgent.
Released in 2018 and produced by PA Works, Sirius the Jaeger follows Yuliy, a young werewolf and member of a vampire-hunting group called the Jaegers.
Set in the 1930s, the team travels to Japan to stop vampires searching for an ancient relic.
The series ends on a massive cliffhanger and fans never got Season 2.
Worse? It leaves Netflix on April 6, 2026.
After that, there may be no legal way to stream it.
