Komi Can't Communicate is now airing new episodes weekly with Netflix. This was a huge deal because while its international release started a few weeks after the initial drop in Japan, it's still a seasonal anime series that is releasing new episodes on a weekly basis around the world. This was a major shake up to the way Netflix has distributed anime projects in the past, and thus marks what could be a turning point for the way new anime is released with the streaming service in the future.
A series as popular as this one was the right one to test the waters for this new kind of schedule, and thus far has seemingly been a hit with fans. Directed by Kazuki Kawagoe for OLM, Komi Can't Communicate's leading cast includes the likes of Aoi Koga as Shoko Komi, Gakuto Kajiwara as Hitohito Tadano, and Rie Murakawa as Najimi Osana. Netflix officially describe the series as such, "At a high school full of unique characters, Tadano helps his shy and unsociable classmate Komi reach her goal of making friends with 100 people."
