Here are some of the best places to watch anime online. Some anime series and movies to check out on Netflix are Aggretsuko, Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Knights of Sidona, and Glitter Force, the Netflix-produced English dub of the popular Japanese anime, Pretty Cure. Netflix has official apps on almost every device imaginable from smart TVs and Blu-ray players to gaming consoles and smartphones. You can also stream anime via the Netflix website. Monthly subscription fees start at $8.99 with a 30-day free trial for first-time users. Simulcast episodes—which air concurrently in Japan—look the same as they do on Japanese TV but have English subtitles. This is great for hardcore anime fans who don’t want their favorite series spoiled for them. Many anime shows also offer the English-dubbed version for those that don’t like to read subtitles while watching TV. Crunchyroll offers free anime streaming to all users. However, those who pay for the Premium subscription ($6.95/month) are given access to anime simulcasts, ad-free viewing, and HD image quality. Official Crunchyroll apps are available on most major gaming consoles, iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets, Chromecast, and Roku. Users can also watch anime online via the Crunchyroll website.
The store has an impressive collection of dubbed and subbed anime shows and movies available from niche series to more popular ones like Dragon Ball Super and Boruto. After purchasing an anime season or movie in the Microsoft Store app on your Windows 10 device or Xbox console, you can watch it through the Movies & TV app. Free FUNimation accounts get a small selection of anime series for viewing with ads while those who pay the $5.99 monthly fee for FUNimationNow Premium gain access to the entire anime catalog, ad-free viewing, and early access to English dubs. The $4.99 monthly fee gives subscribers access to HiDive’s full library of English and Japanese language anime series and films. Official apps are available for Apple TV, Fire TV, iOS, and Android.
