How to Watch Anime for Free

Crunchyroll

One of the best ways to watch anime for free is to check out Crunchyroll. This site stands as the best way to stream most anime series for many countries in English and other languages. You can create a free account and stream many of the shows for free with only some ads here and there.

Funimation

Funimation and Crunchyroll are siblings now, but Funimation also works as a solid alternative option. There are free episodes of series on there as well, and it has some of the most easily accessible English dubs of anime for those who prefer watching that way. It has a widespread library, similar to Crunchyroll.

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video may not be free itself, but it’s worth noting since many people have an Amazon Prime subscription already anyway. If you happen to be one of those people or know someone who has Prime, you can check out a ton of different anime series on Prime Video as part of it. This even includes some newer series like Made in Abyss.

TubiTV

TubiTV is a free app you can download on most smart TVs and even some video game consoles. It has many channels for viewers to go through, but for anime fans like yourself, there is a decent amount of content, too. You can even watch some of the most popular series of all time, like Hunter x Hunter and Naruto.

YouTube

YouTube isn’t always the most reliable place to watch. However, some anime companies post an episode or two of a series for viewers to watch for free. Even Crunchyroll has done this in the past for a limited time. Perhaps the most notable example is Gundam, which has some series there available for viewing without a subscription.

Toonami

If you happen to have cable or satellite TV, Cartoon Network’s Toonami remains the premier place to watch anime on there. It often includes the latest dubs for newer series like My Hero Academia and sometimes reruns of older programs, too.
