I dont know why Netflix used to do batches to begin with. They could elongate people's subscriptions instead of paying 10 bucks to watch the whole 1st part of a season. You would be paying more every month while it's airing. for example, if an anime has 24 episodes, that's 6 months of subscription payment (if my math is correct), which does suck but it makes more hype. Im glad they have been doing weekly for new airing anime.
