Netflix apparently thinks not enough people watch anime. This is a fair assumption to make. So naturally, Netflix will do something about it in the form of this “Tudum: Anime Spotlight” pre-show event on YouTube. They’ve even got a teaser trailer for it for us to enjoy:
Netflix has defined the word “Tudum” as “A to-do list but for all the movies and shows you have planned for the day!” on Twitter. This perfectly describes the “Tudum: A Netflix Global Fan Event” Netflix is holding this Saturday on September 25, 2021. You can catch the main Tudum event on Netflix YouTube when it premieres on that day.
In the meantime, to kick things off for this first-ever event, Netflix will host an Anime Spotlight pre-show event at 5 AM (PT)/ 8 AM (ET) on the same day. You can catch the Anime Spotlight pre-show on Netflix Anime YouTube.
