Ah, you forgot Bilibili
Hi there Anime on Demand is no more content migrated mostly to Crunchyroll already. The same already happened to Animelab a while ago when they migrated to Funimation in Summer 2021. Also Funimation, Wakanim, (Animax at least Germany dont know about others) and VRV it seems those will become Crunchyroll soon too. When that happens dont know but it will happen probably. Only a matter of time because Sony bought everything to make the biggest Anime platform worldwide.
Yes, thanks this was very helpful. Sadly im on a school computer and they blocked half of these websites. Imao. Again thanks for this it was very helpful.
What about (REDACTED)? It even has its own application. If it’s legal what countries is it safe in?
Hi there, that site is nowhere near legal. One quick way to know is the fact they have a DMCA takedown link. This means they do not have the rights to the licenses.
i have a question, is (redacted) is legal?
Hi, there! No, that site isn’t legal.
I love you more than my son, thank u ❤️
You’re welcome? ^_^”
Wakanim is NOT available in Norway 🙁
Hi there! On the Wakanim website, it does list that they are available in Norway: https://www.wakanim.tv/sc/v2/discover
“Offer applies to users in the following countries (non-exhaustive list) : Sweden, Denmark, Finland (including Ã…land Islands), Norway, Iceland and Netherlands.”
Thanks
You helped me.
– Akiba Passs was closed over a year ago and should be removed
– Amazon is avaiable worldwide (ex China), in some countries one is required to access via primevideo.com instead
– Asian Crush seems to be avaiable only in the US (or US + CA)?
– ConTV went legal? great 🙂
– Funimation is no longer avaiable in AU+NZ (content migrated to Anime Lab)
– Hidive is avaiable worldwide (or worldwide ex asia, but very limited content outside of english or spanish speaking countries) – e.g. https://www.hidive.com/news/2020/8/10/the-demon-girl-next-door-dub-is-nearly-here or https://www.hidive.com/news/2020/7/23/hidive-to-air-new-episodes-of-ahiru-no-sora-season-2-dubcast-edition
– Maxdome no longer offers subscriptions (only rental / buy)

– Watchbox is now part of TVNow.de (and is also avaiable in CH), some titles require subscription (€ 4,99 / month) but most are free
– Ani-One and Muse are the same Youtube channel
– Media Blasters has no Anime episodes on their youtube channel

IIRC there is also a legit Youtube channel for Beyblade franchise and for some other Bushiroad franchises not included in your list.
Also some old (70s, 80s, 90s) anime co-produced by european companies shold be legally avaiable on Youtube.
Hi, there! I wanted to thank you so much for all of the work you put into helping us make sure our list is accurate! I updated our list just now! Thank you once again! This was a tremendous help!
Hi,
IQIYI International version has a few titles for current season anime, animenewsnetwork has posted this news.
Thank you so much! I went and updated the list!
Hi i know 2 more legal anime youtube channels if you could add them to the list for more people to find it that would be great. The channels are MuseAsia and AniOne. Thanks
Hi there! Thank you for letting us know! MuseAsia is already on the list, but we added Ani-One!
Hello, I’d like to add that Yamato Animation is a YouTube channel where you can legally stream some series with Italian subs, I believe that it’s region locked.
Thank you so much! I updated our list!
The problem with all of these sites is that you cannot watch most of the interesting series in Finland because our small and insignificant country has not licensed them. And technically you can use VPN but that is also illegal and can get people banned from some of the sites.
How about [redacted]?
No, that site is NOT a legal site.
Maybe you can add “Muse Asia” to the YouTube section, it has a lot of seasonal, old, and even anime content that currenly airing.
YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbshtvS9t-8CW11W7TooQg
Description, details, and related links see the “about” tab section.
Thank you so much! I updated the list!
U missed muse asia
Got you down on the CR website under “The Anime Club”.
You can see i here if you like!
https://www.crunchyroll.com/group/The_Anime_Club
Thanks for your contribution and keep viewing strong!
Thanks for the list.
I already commented this but please update the YouTube country list. It says U.S. for countries even though there are obviously more countries available with the platform. Also update the last updated thing at the top. It still says August 2 even though you recently updated the list. Thanks 🙂
Funimation titles have been removed from VRV and HIDIVE titles are in the process of being added.
Thank you letting us know! Updated the list!
There is also a german one, that’s for free called “Prosiebenmaxx” / “Pro7MAXX”. Here’s the link:
https://www.prosiebenmaxx.de/anime
I added it to the list! Thank you!!
Why does YouTube say United States for countries? Shouldn’t it be on worldwide basially?
New streaming service: Watch TOKU!
http://www.watchtoku.com
Cost: $3.99 per month
Anime Titles Available: 10+
Regions Available: United States & Canada
Thank you! I have updated the list! I’m so glad Vimeo is stepping up and providing Anime and Toku! 😀
Just to add something, yahoo view is available in Canada, but you can’t search anything on it. You’ll need to use google to search an anime with yahoo view, then watch it from there.
Hello! iflix is also available in Pakistan.
I also want to inform you that in Luxembourg wakanime and ADN are also available in french.
Amazon Prime in any licensed language
and akibapass is also available in German :3
Is [redacted] officially legal to watch online in Australia??
That site is completely illegal globally.
Anime Lab has lots lots more than 30 titles now. It’s currently my favourite service and sometimes doesn’t even play ads, which is a bit concerning but nice while it lasts.
Anime Serien, Viki, Hanabee, Neon Alley (Viz), Animax, MyAnimeList
Anime Network no longer has streaming. It just points you to Hidive for streaming stuff. Only if you’re on one of the cable providers will the site be helpful (outside the forums at least)
Thank you for the initiative. Resources like this are invaluable for a community like the anime fandom, especially in the climate consumer climate of convenience over everything else. The need to engage the community with more ethical consumer practices is now more important than ever, and it is valuable to acknowledge that a key piece of the puzzle is simply awareness of the official services that can provide anime streaming at affordable prices to your region. Anime fans will more likely choose a legit source over pirate sites, if the former simply provides the better service, and are made aware to the fans.
Tested the links for Belgium. The following are not mentioned, but are available:
– Amazon Video (accessed via the UK and DE amazon sites, the FR variant has no amazon video for some reason)
– HIDIVE (limited amount)
– TubiTV (but like only 3 series, lol)
– Netflix – Netflix is available in most of Europe by now, I assume.
– ADN: Access to the full list. This because French Licenses also cover Belgium (most of the time). Maybe note that only French subs and dubs are available.
– Mangas: Weird site. The series are available, but a correction: It’s not free (it’s €3/month, or €30/year)
– Anibee is available too, which makes me suspect it’s worldwide. It’s only that the subs are intended for Singapore and Malaysia 😀
Hi!!! Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you! I updated the list by what you mentioned! Thank you soooooo much for your help! I truly appreciate it!
Amazon Prime Video is available in Italy, but i think it’s called Prime Video.
https://www.primevideo.com/
indeed it is, and it’s the only solution we (italians) have a part from VVVVID, who is doing a great job btw
Daisuki will be shutting down on or the day after Halloween this year.

Thank you for mentioning it & bringing it to our attention. We knew about it but didn’t put a notice on here.
Tubi TV’s availability is United States *and Canada.*
Thank you! I updated the information!
I cannot help but think that this would make for a far better table than an article…
Unfortunately, I tried to do it in a table form, but it was a hot mess to look at. We plan on revisiting and potentially redesign a completely new layout for this page. Thank you for your suggestion though! 🙂
Wakanim is also available for the Scandinavian countries (Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland) since July!
Thank you very much for pointing that out to us! I have updated the list!
yes, this is what i’ve been looking for, thanks
You’re welcome!
Thanks so much for putting together this great list of places to watch!
Hanabee no longer offer seem to be offering a streaming service for Australia/NZ. While the site is still active, it just shows a ‘Now Loading’ screen and has done so for several months (it’s not actually loading, it’s just an image which says ‘now loading’). Hanabee have not responded to enquiries about this on social media so I’d have to assume it’s down indefinitely.
Thank you! I updated the list!
AnimeLab still works in NZ AUS, pity that Hanabee stopped, its important for the world to have free streaming, this way also non-anime people like me 1 year ago get interested!
You should add https://animebananas.tv/ to the list, they have the largest anime streaming collection, because they partner with Crunchyroll, Hulu, and integrate VIZMedia and FUNimation as well and have 1,200+ titles with legal streams.
(Thanks to Thor Ryen in the comments I found them).
Ah, I missed that one! Thank you! I added it!
You should add http://www.anime-planet.com/ to the list, they have 40,000 legal streams due to a partnership with Crunchyroll, Hulu and Viewster.
Thank you so much! I added them!
This site is not very good to watch anime to be honest. I prefer Hulu.
Hi, I am an experienced developer and wondering if you can help me about copyrights regarding anime videos. I want to host them and have already a layout. My only problem right now is the licensing of the said videos. Thank you so much 🙂
Btw my plan is to build an anime website make an android and ios app and lastly windows app.
Thank you so much for making this list!
Some of the sites mentioned in the list have become paid sources, or had (some) of their anime titles removed.
There are new legal anime streaming sites that are completely free like:
http://www.viz.com and http://animebananas.tv.
AnimeBananas is my personal favorite as it combines all providers into one.
Wakanim is only in French and not German. ._.
Also I checked the other sites and the information which is given here doesn’t really fit. Hanabee for example isn’t a streaming site but a store where one can buy dvds. The only anime Tubi TV had was Yu-Gi-OH 5Ds and Crackle didn’t have any anime. At least I couldn’t find any.
I will update the information for Wakanim. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Hanabee recently moved all their videos to Hanabee.TV, which I will update now. I just checked Tubi TV and I see at least several other shows including Ghost In the Shell, Utena and Gatchaman. For Crackle, I saw 12 shows available on the site. These two sites might be region blocked/limited if you’re experiencing a smaller list.
Hi, this article was pretty helpful! I am potentially moving to Taiwan soon but I was wondering what most people in Taiwan use for their anime. I know I saw niconico listed but I would like to know if there are alternatives, and if crunchyroll works there. I tried doing my own research but ended up empty handed.
