With each passing day, Netflix users are increasing around the globe, all due to its extensive library and its efforts to keep expanding. Hence, countless series, movies, anime, games, and a lot more get added to its library each month, and with each new release, the excitement of the viewers shoot up in the sky.
We all have seen an increase in anime viewership in the last few years, and trust us when we say that the numbers have changed by a huge margin. And Netflix was one of the first to realize this upsurge and act on it. With that being said, Netflix US currently holds 218 titles in the anime genre, and it’s ever-expanding. This month too, Netflix is coming with several originals in the anime genre, some absolutely new, some adaptations, and some more.
Here’s the Netflix’s anime line-up for the month of June 2022:
