Anime enthusiasts with Netflix accounts will soon be treated to a unique deal hatched by the streaming service and Polygon Pictures.

In a bid to always be on the forefront of novel and interesting programming content, Netflix has signed a groundbreaking deal with Polygon Pictures that would give it exclusive rights to broadcast the anime adaptation of "Ajin: Demi-Human" around the world.

A television anime series of the popular manga is slated to air in Japan in January of next year. With the deal, Netflix members who are in Japan will be able to watch each episode as it is streamed three days after it's aired on TV. The whole series will then be streamed worldwide after the anime's run has ended, which is expected to be sometime in mid-2016.

"Ajin: Demi-Human" is based on the manga created by Gamon Sakurai and published in the Kodansha magazine "Good! Afternoon." The anime will revolve around Kei Nagai, a high-school student who is killed in a traffic accident while on his way home from school. The young boy returns to life and discovers he's an "Ajin," a demi-human who is consequently hunted as people consider Ajins to be criminals. Kei is soon on the run from humans and tries to survive with the help of his only ally, his best friend Kaito.

The upcoming TV series is not the first adaptation of the manga as "Ajin: Demi-Human" is also being adapted into a trilogy of animated films. The first of the three anime films is titled "Ajin Part 1: Shōdō" and is scheduled to be released in Japanese theaters on Nov. 27.

"Ajin: Demi-Human" will be the second anime that Netflix will stream on a non-domestic market. The network had previously shown the popular anime series "Knights of Sidonia" last year. The anime was an unprecedented success and received rave reviews from anime fans and critics alike. Hideo Kojima of "Metal Gear Solid" fame even praised the art of "Knights of Sidonia," saying it had a "made in Japan" look and feel that brought back the "cool" factor to the anime industry.

Netflix is hoping to recreate that success with "Ajin: Demi-Human" as it might bring content faster to global subscribers and keep the network at the front of Internet movie and TV streaming.
