The availability of the complete “One Piece” anime series on Netflix is limited due to complex licensing agreements. These agreements dictate where and when specific content can be streamed, often involving negotiations with rights holders such as production studios and distributors. For example, different regions may have exclusive deals with other streaming services, preventing Netflix from offering the full catalog in those areas.
Securing distribution rights for a globally popular anime like “One Piece” is a highly competitive process. Rights are often segmented geographically, meaning different companies can bid for and obtain the rights for specific territories. This segmentation ensures maximum profit for the rights holders and allows for localized marketing and distribution strategies tailored to individual markets. Historically, this system has led to fragmented anime availability across various streaming platforms.
