Netflix
Netflix has been boasting about some big plans for its library of available series coming in 2018. The streaming service plans on rolling out 30 new series but this should also serve as a reminder of how content on Netflix works. If you’re hunting down a streaming service solely for the purpose of watching anime, remember that content on Netflix comes and goes. What’s available this year could change the next and you’ll often have little more than a month’s notice that a certain series will be taken down soon. Another thing to note is that this marks Netflix’s first big push for its anime content so if you’re looking for a vast collection of anime to dive into, this might not be the best option for you.
But don’t count Netflix out just yet. If you’re not necessarily a diehard fan and you’d rather just have a way to keep up with extremely popular or mainstream anime series, Netflix could be a great fit. Netflix’s current offerings tend to be series with a very wide appeal or a series that is a Netflix original. If you want a handful of great anime to watch but would also like to have access to a larger library of movies and TV shows for when you’re not necessarily in the mood for anime, Netflix is a solid option with tons of viewing options.
