They're on HBO Max in the US and Canada.

I’m getting excited for HBO Max, there will finally be a streaming service with quality television and movies (Criterion). HBO is the only video streaming service I pay for. Here’s a comprehensive list of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon original series that are HBO level quality:

Amazon:

* Patriot

* The Expanse

* The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

* The Boys

* Sneaky Pete

Netflix:

* The Last Kingdom

* The Witcher

* Ozark

* Mindhunter

* Altered Carbon

* Narcos

* Narcos: Mexico

* Travelers

* If I Only Hadn’t Met You

* Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

* Dark

* Peaky Blinders

Hulu (don’t use it much):

* Catch-22

Given that they are in the midst of releasing practically their entire catalogue of movies on Netflix I don’t think it is surprising that they are following suit with their music. Hope it will be available globally on Spotify soon. There’s a lot of goody OST missing on Spotify still

> releasing practically their entire catalogue of movies on Netflix Except in the US, Canada, and Japan.

Blu-Ray is truly worth it for these films anyway. They’re available on AppleTV here in Japan, but streaming doesn’t do them justice.

Joe Hisaishi is one of the best composers, and a big part of the Ghibli charm. Anyone who hasn't had the pleasure yet should definitely check out his work, in any way you can! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Hisaishi [1] https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Joe+Hisaishi

I agree. This is one of my favorite Hisaishi pieces outside of his Ghibli compositions:

Good movie as well.

I'm not the biggest fan of streaming originals, but Netflix has been Best Picture nominated 2 years in a row (Roma, Marriage Story, and The Irishman). And Netflix has pretty much reached parity with HBO in Emmy wins and nominations in the mainline categories.

Seems the trouble is that, in addition to their award nominated material, Netflix also produces a lot of low quality content tailored to niche viewer personas. I wonder if they've ever considered whether or not that hurts their brand more than it helps, or if it's helping more than it hurts?

Why would you care if you don’t watch it? My grocery store sells food I don’t like, along with the food I do; does that hurt its brand?

One of my favorite non-anime films "Kikujiro" has the sweetest theme melody: "Summer" by Joe Hisaishi

I'm not sure if Dark is really made by Netflix so much as picked up by Netflix. Same for The Last Kingdom.

On edit: looked up Dark again and I think it is actually a Netflix production as opposed to a foreign series they have rebranded for other regions as their own.

It makes good things I watch and enjoy. (Net value to me >> 0 )

It makes bad niche things I watch and mostly enjoy. ( Net value to me > 0)

It makes bad other-niche things I never have watched and rarely show up in my recommendations. (Net value to me = 0, +/- the tiny negative of rarely having to /browse past it/).

You’re arguing the negative of 3 is so large that it overwhelms 2, so much so that it subtracts from the value of 1, if I’ve understood you correctly.

I don’t find 3 that big a problem. What I find problematic is /how it identifies 2/.

“Oh, you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Here’s a list of every shitty movie we ever found that had a teenage girl OR a vampire in it.”

It seems to have a very rough idea of tags, and then just show me everything with similar tags. Except the tags only rarely capture what I found attractive in the first place, and “shitty vampire movie” doesn’t do anything for me if my attraction was “witty coming of age series with supernatural overtones”.

Anyone else unable to find the Ghibli albums mentioned in the article in Spotify yet? I've tried the desktop and web app to no avail.

Yeah, same in UK. Even the playlist is hard to track down, and it only has 5 songs...
