Every Anime on Netflix

<

Netflix is a giant in the world of streaming, naturally leading anime fans to search for a complete list of every anime on the service. Unfortunately, this task proves more difficult than it would initially seem. The streaming titan’s catalog of anime is vast, and though fans are probably already aware of the best anime on Netflix, there are also more than a few hidden gems that fans might not have realized were on the service at all.

One of the things that makes it so difficult to list every anime on Netflix is of course regional differences. Popular anime that are available in Europe might not be available in the United States or Canada for a variety of reasons such as licensing deals.

Still, regardless of where fans reside, Netflix is a great service for anime fans as it offers a wide variety of series that should appeal to a wide variety of people and interests. With plenty of anime series and movies, there’s literal years worth of anime to watch on Netflix.

Every Anime Series on Netflix

All in all, Netflix has around 160 anime series available for fans to watch. From big-name series like One Piece and My Hero Academia to incredible Netflix originals like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Netflix has many incredible series to watch.

Netflix Also Offers a Variety of Acclaimed Movies Fans Should Watch

In addition to its incredible lineup of series, Netflix also hosts a good number of anime movies. Netflix offers 65 anime movies at the time of writing, so there is certainly a lot to watch.

The Best Anime Streaming on Netflix

Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100 is an incredible anime series that only just recently found its way on to Netflix. Adapted from a manga series by the same creative genius behind One-Punch Man, Mob Psycho 100 follows a young boy named Mob who suppresses his emotions so as not to harm anyone with his incredible psychic powers. Together with his conman boss, Reigen, Mob uses his powers to exorcise evil spirits and battle the looming threat of other psychics who are much less responsible with their powers.

Mob Psycho 100 is one of the best anime series of all time, with gorgeous animation, a lovable cast of characters, and a deeply heartfelt story. Though the series is filled with laugh-out-loud comedy, its serious moments are just as effective as anything featured in far darker anime.

One Piece and Its Films

Netflix has bet big on One Piece. Now that the live-action series is a major success, Netflix is even simulcasting One Piece’s latest arc. In addition to a great deal of the original anime series, Netflix is also home to some of the series’ latest films such as Red, Z, and Gold. One Piece is bigger than ever, and with the announcement of a Netflix original remake, the world’s biggest streaming service is a great place to either catch up with the series or watch its latest releases.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Evangelion is a landmark anime that changed the medium forever, and with its release on Netflix, fans finally have a way to watch it beyond hunting for home media releases worth hundreds of dollars. The series follows a young man named Shinji as he’s tasked with piloting a giant mech called an EVA in order to protect Japan from strange aliens called angels. With its introspective tone and rich psychological themes, Evangelion is easily one of Netflix’s best mech anime.

Suzume

Makoto Shinkai is one of Japan’s most celebrated directors, and his latest film, Suzume, might just be one of his best. Suzume is a recent addition to Netflix and an incredibly strong one. The movie follows a young woman named Suzume who unintentionally sets off a chain of events that could result in a string of natural disasters across Japan. Moving and emotional in all the right places, Suzume is a must-watch for every anime fan.

Pluto

Deep and filled with political intrigue, fans of old-school science fiction will find quite a lot to like about Pluto. The series follows a group of incredibly powerful robots as they’re murdered one by one. The mystery of what kind of being would be capable of killing such strong robots leads to uncovering a global conspiracy that has massive implications for the fate of humanity and robot-kind alike.

Osamu Tezuka’s original Astro Boy was already ripe with themes about the ramifications of war, and the original Pluto manga by Naoki Urasaw and Takashi Nagasaki only enhanced those themes. The anime captures what made the manga brilliant in such a fantastic way that it’s truly a sight to behold.

Watch on Netflix

Violet Evergarden

For fans who want a slower-paced and more down-to-earth experience, few will scratch that itch like Violet Evergarden. The series takes place in the immediate aftermath of a fictional war. The former soldier Violet is left without a purpose in peacetime after the presumed death of her beloved commander. Eventually, she finds meaning in transcribing letters for people. What follows is an absolutely gorgeous anime series with lavish production design and a deep story.

Watch on Netflix

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

While Pluto might be perfect for fans of classic science-fiction, any fan of the genre’s grungier side would be doing a disservice to themselves by not watching Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Studio Trigger has one of the most distinctive styles in modern anime, and that’s on full display in Edgerunners. The series is about a young man named David who is motivated by a tragedy to become an Edgerunner, essentially a cyberpunk mercenary. While the Cyberpunk 2077 video game was met with divisive reviews, the same can’t be said for Edgerunners as it’s regarded as a new classic.

Delicious in Dungeon

Fans of fantasy also have quite a lot of choices available to them on Netflix, but few fantasy anime stand out like the recent Delicious in Dungeon. The series is about a group of adventurers who make their way through a dungeon by eating the monsters and enemies they slay. The result is always funny as the adventurers Laios, Marcille, Chilchuk, and Senshi find increasingly absurd methods of cooking their kill.

What makes Delicious in Dungeon stand out is its commitment to being a real fantasy anime. Far from another RPG inspired fantasy series that doesn’t make sense outside of its game reference point, Delicious in Dungeon’s world is well-thought-out and is all internally cohesive in a way that makes it clear the series cares about its world-building.
