Netflix has announced the expansion of its anime programming slate, adding twelve new series to its lineup.

In Japan yesterday, Netflix announced a number of new anime series that will be coming to their service. Among them is a 12 episode remake of the 1986 anime, Saint Seiya.

No release date for the upcoming remake has been announced but Netflix confirmed that it will be coming soon.

Another classic series that will be getting an anime adaptation for Netflix is Baki the Grappler. Based on the 1991 manga, Baki follows a young Baki Hanma as he trains to surpass his father, the strongest fighter in the world. Baki is being produced by TMS Entertainment and will be comprised of 26 episodes.

The American fantasy comic, Cannon Busters, is also confirmed to adapted for Netflix as a 12 episode series. Created in 2005, Cannon Busters follows the adventures of a droid named S.A.M and her two companions as they search for her missing best friend. The new series is being produced by Manga Entertainment Ltd, Nada Holdings and Satelight with Natasha Allegri and Anne Toole signed on as writers alongside series creator LeSean Thomas.
