This has been going on for some time now. Here's a list of so-called "Netflix original" shows."

For some of them, Netflix largely slapped a label on an existing production. Others wouldn't have seen the light of day without Netflix funding. I'm especially impressed that they backed Iso Mitsuo's first new show since 2007's
Dennou Coil,

Still, the vast majority of anime is made by Japanese creators for Japanese audiences.
