Hmm, so what happened to Isekai Ojisan is indeed a precedent.

Then again, AFAIK dominating titles of Netflix are not their titles.
Last time I saw its Hunter x Hunter and Cardcaptor Sakura instead of, well, their titles like Violet Evergarden, Ultraman, etc.
So it looks normal to me if they cut some help to anime production as amount of people maintaining membership declining.

Really doubt Edgerunners popularity will change their mind as amount of tries to reach that point would be considered no good, while the popular title as mentioned only proven its better to fund big names like JoJo, Saint Seiya than betting on weird titles like Reincarnated as Sword; popular ones, propaganda, as long it sells.
