Summary Suzume is currently the eighth-most-watched non-English film on Netflix, proving how influential Shinkai's latest hit is for the streaming service.

Suzume's popularity on Netflix speaks volumes to the quality of the film, and to Shinkai's talents as a director.

Suzume's success could set the stage for more anime content from Netflix in the future.

In early April, Netflix made a big play on their growing commitment to anime by adding Makoto Shinkai’s Suzume to their library. Suzume is one of Shinkai’s best films to date and one of the biggest anime movies of 2023, and seeing Netflix being one of the few places to stream the recent hit film does wonders for their reputation as an anime streamer.

Suzume coming to Netflix has been great to see, and the public response to it has been great to see. Almost two weeks after being added to Netflix, it was announced that Suzume is currently the eighth-most-watched non-English film on Netflix, and it’s the only anime film to be ranked that high at the moment, as well.
