The new additions include a number of cult-classic anime series with high episode counts, so there’ll be plenty of binging available as these licensed series roll out.

Hunter X Hunter will arrive first on September 1 with a block of 38 episodes and will be followed by Ouran High School Host Club and Claymore on the same day. You can find the full list below and the overall episode count for each series below:

Anime has become a large part of Netflix’s library over the years. The streaming platform contains a mix of new and cult-classic anime series and has even adapted several of them to live-action, such as Death Note and Cowboy Bebop, with mixed results. Cowboy Bebop only lasted a single season, a new Death Note adaptation is being helmed by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, and a live-action One Piece show is coming soon.

Outside of Netflix, the anime season for 2022 is starting to heat up. A new season of Mob Psycho 100 is coming, the first season of Chainsaw Man lands on Crunchyroll soon, and the third season of One-Punch Man is officially in production.
