8 Anime Series on Netflix You Should Spend Your Holiday Watching

[Loop Stricken]

Having just watched Rebellion, I can't recommend Puella Magi Madoka Magica enough.

 

[ryukage_sama]

It should be mentioned that Madoka Magica is a dark and subversive series, that is actually pretty close to Attack on Titan in terms of tone.

Another gem available on Netflix is the series Princess Jellyfish. It deals with many social anxieties, body image and personal identity issues, all while keeping a lighthearted, humorous tone. Also jellyfish, beautifully drawn jellyfish.

1 Reason not to watch Anime on Netflix.

1) Anime is not on Netflix (UK)

((The only one I found was Knights of Sydonia))

Netflix is great for random people wanting to check out a few of the bigger hits of the past years, but for actual hardcore anime fans, the offering is ridiculosly limited compared to the dozens of new series that are airing every season, and that anime fandoms already got used to before anime was attempted to be officially accessbible in the west.

Though it's a moot point for me anyways, given that I live in Hungary, so for me there is no moral dilemma between the wider opttions and the Straight 'n Narrow, my only choice is between watching anime and not watching anime at all.

Nail on the head.

When it comes to anime in 'ol Blighty, we're always getting screwed over.

Thank god for crunchyroll.

This may be changing. Knights of Sidonia, at least for now, is a Netflix exclusive in the west, and they had the entire season dubbed and available the very week after the season finished airing in Japan. I'm not sure how far they intend to go with this, but it seems that Netflix is taking some serious measures to get some good content going.

Tssss!!! Recommending Attack on Titan?!
It's totally crap, and even the manga is no more than just average.

Try Hulu as well. Most of the anime on Hulu is in subtitles rather than dubbed, but I would've never watched Stein's Gate if it weren't for Hulu.

You should play the visual novel next. It goes into more detail on the science bits as well more in-depth interaction with the characters that aren't Kurisu.

 

[SKBPinkie]

Gonna check out Knights of Sidonia; looks like something I might like. Oh, Trigun and Samurai Champloo are absolutely fantastic. Check it out if you haven't already.

Also, I want Mushishi to be on Netflix, in glorious HD.

I will have to take a look at it. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm Swdish, and can't watch any of these.

1 Reason not to watch Anime on Netflix.

1) Anime is not on Netflix (UK)

((The only one I found was Knights of Sydonia))

2nd reason not to watch anime on Netflix: Crunchroll exists.

3rd reason not to watch anime on Netflix: All their content is dubbed, and while some dubs can be done well, there is often much lost in translation, and the quality is very hit and miss, whereas voice acting in Japan is such a competitive field that there is real competition just to get into the university programs offered for it.

That said, I will say that I think the English version of Death Note surpasses the Japanese one, there are a few others but that is the one that I think set the bar for English dubs, few since have reached it.

 

[Auberon]

Let me give you two useful pieces of information; one, JoJo and far more series aren't there and two, they aren't subbed.

Technically I could only watch Sidonia I think, but I have VPN to fix that.

 

[Covarr]

I'm continually surprised by how large a chunk of Netflix's anime content is Funimation stuff. Alas, they don't have Funimation's best stuff (DBZ, Tenchi Muyo OVA series).

Here are eight reason I personally watch anime on Netflix

[li]Heaven's Lost Property[/li]
[li]Yamada's First Time: B Gata H Kei[/li]
[li]Girls Bravo[/li]
[li]Chobits[/li]
[li]Rosario + Vampire[/li]

[li]Tenchi Muyo GXP[/li]
[li]Kill La Kill[/li]

P.S. Thanks

P.P.S. Hmm, I'm noticing something of a trend in all my favorite Netflix anime.

P.P.P.S. They used to have Lupin the 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro on there, but it's gone now. Keep an eye out in case they ever get it back; it's far and away better than anything either on my list or on the article's list. I say that even though it's not even a little bit ecchi!

They have the Japanese version as well. You just have to go to the audio/subtitle settings when starting the show for the first time and choose Japanese audio and English Subtitles.

And they don't even have the English dub for everything available. At least in the US. I just finished Blue Exorcist (not bad but not amazing, its a fun ride) and it only had the option for Japanese audio.

OT: No Kill la Kill? No Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood? Really? Two of the best animes, no two of the best SHOWS, I have EVER seen and are almost universally acclaimed (at least in FMA:B's instance) and loved by the viewers aren't on your list? For shame.

Even if you don't like Kill la Kill you have to admit the sheer spectacle and insanity is at least somewhat entertaining.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

It makes me sad when I see a list of recommended anime, and don't see Fate/Zero on there.

Fate/Zero is one of the BEST anime I've ever seen and no one I know seems to have watched it! D=

 

[EyeReaper]

NOw, it's been a year or two since I've had netflix, but when I did, Clannad was on there. If Clannad is still on there, and yet not on this list...


SHHHHAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEE!
