The 2023 Streaming Guide to Watch Anime (Part 1)

If you are looking for vintage anime, try Tubi.

Cost as of March 2023: Free with ads! I was really surprised with the anime offerings on the free Tubi app. A mix of family friendly shows including Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, and an impressive bunch of older series and films from the late 70’s to the 90’s. Visiting the anime page on desktop reveals this tagline: “Dive into our collection of Japanese animation — from classic blockbusters to brand new shows airing weekly.” This is where I watched one of the Urusei Yatsura films (Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer, 1984) and also where I started watching GANSTA (2015).  This app is dripping with nostalgia: I saw A Wind Named Amnesia on the app–which was one of the first animated films from Japan that I can remember watching. And classics like Ghost in the Shell, Ranma ½ , Kimagure Orange Road, and Captain Harlock can be found. There’s a great sprinkle of early 2000s and 2010s anime on there to make the section a bit more modern including Afro Samurai, The Twelve Kingdoms, and Eden of The East. There’s anime and animated films dubbed and subtitled as well. Some great titles to find on this Streaming app: The Case of Hana and Alice, Tokyo Godfathers, and Blue Submarine No.6
