Netflix April 2018 Slate lists ‘One Punch Man’ & ‘Saiki K. Season 1’ for Streaming
Netflix have announced their April 2018 release slate with a bunch of titles joining the UK service. As per usual we look out for any anime that crop up and here are the titles listed for the month of April, though please be aware that they are subject to change at any moment.
Aggretsuko
Netflix Original series date: 20th April 2018
Retsuko is a 25-year old red panda who works in her dream company’s accounting department. But it turns out that she is forced to keep doing more and more impossible tasks by her superiors and co-workers. She doesn’t talk back to them, but she still has to let off steam, so she ends up going to karaoke by herself and singing death metal.
The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. (Season 1)
Estimated arrival date: 1st April 2018
Saiki Kusuo is your typical 16-year-old high school student, except for one thing—he’s got psychic powers. Incredible ones. In fact, he’s so powerful, he could probably rule the world if he wanted to. Don’t be mistaken though, it’s really not as great as it sounds. After all, you wouldn’t want to hear the weird things people think or all the spoilers they know! And surprise parties? Forget about ’em.
No, this psychic genius is all about keeping a low profile. But high school isn’t about to let that happen. His quirky classmates and embarrassing parents just can’t leave him alone! He’s got the world at his fingertips, but the one thing he’ll never get…is a break.
One Punch Man (Season 1)
Estimated arrival date: 1st April 2018
Saitama is a hero who only became a hero for fun. After three years of “special” training, though, he’s become so strong that he’s practically invincible. In fact, he’s too strong—even his mightiest opponents are taken out with a single punch, and it turns out that being devastatingly powerful is actually kind of a bore. With his passion for being a hero lost along with his hair, yet still faced with new enemies every day, how much longer can he keep it going?
Also worth noting that US & Australian owners will finally be able to watch Violet Evergarden on 5th April 2018 just in time for the 13th & final episode in the series (the 14th episode is an OVA and won’t be on Netflix).
In the meantime you can check out the rest of the upcoming Netflix Originals slate of anime here on the site. The Spring 2018 titles currently exclusive to Netflix are Aggretsuko, Doreiku the Animation, Last Hope (Jūshinki Pandora), and Lost Song.
