If you're a gaming history buff, then you likely know all about the landmark 1983 Universal case in which Nintendo had to defend the right to keep using Donkey Kong. Decades later, King Kong is thriving (and BFFs with Godzilla ), and both entertainment giants are happily collaborating on the box office juggernaut that is the Super Mario Bros. franchise . But even if that's all old news to you, the nitty-gritty of that case is only really known to the people inside the courtroom. source https://www.polygon.com/donkey-kong-lawsuit-king-shigeru-miyamoto-deposition/

That said, when it comes to legitimate anime, Netflix does have a fair number of exclusive shows and movies that are absolutely worth watching. source https://www.polygon.com/best-netflix-original-anime-everyone-needs-to-watch-stream/

The best sequels expand upon everything audiences loved about the original — the action, the stakes, the world — while finding enough new ideas to justify returning to it at all. Making a worthwhile sequel can be a tricky balancing act, which is why there are as many bad sequels as there are good ones (if not more). 40 years later, though, one sequel remains the clearest example of how to pull that off. source https://www.polygon.com/james-cameron-aliens-on-netflix/
