We bring you a collection with the 14 best pages to watch anime on the Internet, all with perfectly legal content you can enjoy wherever you want. These pages have different types of catalogs to enjoy your favorite animes or discover new ones.
In this list, we will find some free services and others that are paid so you can choose the best alternative. There are even some that are foreign and that you will need a VPN to be able to see, but they are so good that we could not miss them.
And as we always say at Xataka Basics, if you miss any service that you consider important on this list, especially the free ones, we invite you to leave them in the comments section so that we can all enjoy your recommendations.
Crunchyroll
It is possibly one of the best-known anime streaming services with the highest quality and quantity of content. It has a free version with ads, limited content, and lower resolutions with which you can already explore part of the content, and also other payment methods.
The bad news is that most of the content is paid, you have to subscribe just like you have to on Netflix and similar platforms. But if you want to pay to watch anime, it’s possibly the best option, with mobile and TV apps as well as a web client, episode releases almost at the same time as in Japan, and a wide catalog of iconic and lesser-known series.

Pluto tv
The free platform Pluto TV has a large amount of streaming content of all kinds. Among them, it also has two different anime channels, as well as a specific channel for specific series such as Detective Conan, Avatar, or Inazuma Eleven.
In favor of this platform is the one that is accessible to everyone in a free mode with ads, and that has applications for almost all systems. And against it is the fact that it has very, very little anime content, and if you are looking for dedicated platforms, this one will probably fall short.

Funimation
Funimation is another of the main services for consuming anime, and in countries like the United States, it is an institution. You will be able to see part of its content for free with an advertisement, although if we want to see the entire catalog and the most recent chapters of our favorite animes, we will have to subscribe.
We have included this service because it is very important and powerful, although it has some bad news: It is not officially available in Spain, and although it is a completely legal service, you will need to use a VPN to be able to access it and its catalog.

Retro Crush
It is a free streaming platform that focuses on classic anime. This means that you will not find the current hit series, but you will see series from the past, such as Lupine III, Kimba the White Lion, or Astroboy among many others.
You will be able to see the content from its website or with multiple mobile applications and television systems. In addition to its free mode, it also has a paid mode. The problem is that the website is American and the subscription is paid in dollars, in addition to the fact that its applications are not available in Spain and you may need a VPN to access it.

CONtv + Comics
This is a free service with ads in English, but you can access it from Spain. Its operation is classic, with part of its catalog to see it for free and another part for payment. They are mostly movies, among which we find an anime section.
Here, you should remember that there is little content and that the anime movies it has are mostly old. In addition, it is a page more focused on B-series movies, with independent horror fantasy and some somewhat peculiar content. But it can be interesting to watch some of their anime, like Street Fighter II, Ghost Messenger, or Samurai Troopers.

Rakuten TV
Rakuten TV is a service with free content with ads, and that includes some Anime. But there is bad news. There are only two series to watch for free, and the rest are anime movies that you can buy or rent. The rental price is not very expensive, you can watch movies like Dragon Ball Super: Broly or Mazinger Z from 2017 for just a couple of euros.

Hide
We could call this service another anime Netflix, a streaming service specialized in offering Japanese animation content. The bad news is that it is a paid service and despite being able to be seen from Spain, it does not have content in Spanish, the page is in English and the subscription is paid in dollars.
In this service you can find many series and movies, all anime, being able to choose to watch them in the original version subtitled in English, or dubbed in English. In either case, it will always tell you what content is dubbed, even if you don’t expect to find it in Spanish.

Selecta Vision Simulcast
Selecta Visión is one of the companies in charge of selling large anime series in Spain, although they are always paid and in physical format. So why is it on this list? Well, because it has a peculiarity, and that is that from time to time, it uses its Simulcast function to broadcast anime online. It is completely free for anyone who is paying attention.
Here, you should know that they do not have any type of catalog. Suddenly they announce a series, and they put it on streaming, broadcasting a chapter every week. Only one series at a time, and then it may disappear because they launch it in physical format.
Atresplayer
-
- Link: Atresplayer.comThe streaming service created by the Atresmedia group has a large amount of content from the audiovisual company, including the Kidz channel section, which includes some anime series and other animated content. Atresplayer has an app on almost all platforms, making accessing the content much easier.
You will need to register to see these contents, although you can see almost everything with ads using the free account. Not all the series are complete, but you can entertain yourself by watching a modern title like Pokémon, especially classics like Heidi or Marco.

Tivify
Putting Tivify on this list is a bit like cheating, but it never hurts to know. We could say that all the anime that is broadcast on DTT can be seen on Tivify since it allows you to see all DTT channels with a free account. It also has payment plans with more channels. None is specific to anime, but you can watch live broadcasts from any DTT channel.

Netflix
Netflix is one of the main streaming platforms, and one of the best it is making in terms of content is the creation of its anime series. Therefore, on this platform, you will find some well-known anime series and movies and others of their production.
We have left Netflix for almost the end of the list because it is a service without a free modality, so you will have to pay yes or yes if you are interested in accessing its catalog.

Prime Video
Amazon’s series and movie streaming service also has a large catalog of anime; much of this anime is top-notch. The negative part is that it is a paid service, although it is linked to Amazon Prime, and it is a fairly affordable price overall. The positive part is that if you do not have Prime, you have a trial period of one month to watch your favorite anime or see if you are convinced to pay the subscription.

Jonuplay
Jonuplay is another streaming platform dedicated to anime. It is not too big, it is not free, and you have to pay yes or yes, but the subscription is only 4 euros per month or 40 per year, so you might consider trying it.
But it also has some advantages. You will be able to watch unpublished series at the same rate as in Japan in the original subtitled version, and it also has its catalog of unpublished anime dubbed into Spanish. In addition, you will find both modern content and some classics.

Tube tv
Tube TV is the largest free streaming platform for movies and series in the United States, and among its content, you can also find anime. The bad thing is that it has not officially arrived in Spain, so if you want to enjoy its content, you will have to use a VPN.

Bonus: Anime-Planet
And finally, a gift. If you are a great anime fan but it is difficult to keep track of everything you have seen, this website will help you. With it, you can keep track of the anime you watch and the manga you read, having tabs to have all the information on each.
Therefore, you will also be able to find out about each anime, and you will be able to rate them or leave reviews to remember which ones you liked the most or what other people think about them. In addition, the web will also offer personalized recommendations based on the content you have seen and liked.
