Netflix has announced that they will revisit some of the most beloved stories that many Anime fans already know and love, including Ultraman, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac.
The news comes after Netflix made its first showcase on Asia earlier this month where it announced the addition of Pacific Rim, altered carbon, insect cage dressing table, Yasuke, and Trese to their slate of anime. This list continues to reach Netflix's global reach for original content, with stories from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and South Korea.
