The more I hear about what’s leaving Netflix next month, the more I’m convinced that MLP leaving is just some licensing shenanigans that’ll probably be resolved before it leaves.
There’s a LOT of popular titles set to be removed on February 1st. Bleach, Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, No Game No Life, and now a bunch of Transformers series are leaving as well.
Those titles (including MLP) continue to be popular to this day, and I doubt Netflix would seriously remove them unless they were outbidded for the rights.
