April is halfway through, and that means streaming services like Netflix have plenty of new releases to drop on fans. From original movies to long-anticipated licenses, April is still sitting on several top-notch streaming releases. Of course, anime is a high priority for streamers across the board as every platform from Disney+ to Prime Video is investing in the medium. Netflix has been championing anime for years now, but one of its biggest TV releases of April 2026 is stirring more ire than buzz these days.

The whole situation ballooned on social media as reports revealed a major anime is on its way to Netflix. Netizens will be able to stream the hit isekai series on Netflix starting April 24, but there is a catch.

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Won't Stream On U.S. Netflix

Clearly, Netflix has found a great license for from France to the UK and Mexico. The only caveat remains the United States, but netizens shouldn't be surprised by the exception. After all, the anime has lived on just one streaming service since its debut stateside, and that is Crunchyroll.

The anime-centric streamer has overseen the U.S. release of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation since the isekai went live several years ago. At this time, it appears the show is an exclusive for Crunchyroll, leaving Netflix's hands tied. There is no telling when the exclusivity window for Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation will end (if ever), so netizens will need to check out Crunchyroll if they want to watch the anime stateside.
