Auto-playing trailers for Netflix shows will now be available on their mobile app too.

In March, telco giant NTT Docomo announced the fixed-rate Disney Deluxe package that will include titles from Disney, Pixar and Marvel. The move closely followed an announcement by Netflix, which launched in Japan in 2015, about partnerships with anime studios Anima, Sublimation and David Production.
