Here's a thread of ways to watch anime LEGALLY & for FREE in the US! ↓↓↓↓

Starting with the obvious, . @Crunchyroll is free with ads (which... those ads are hell of a lot safer than whatever is on those pirating sites some of you use). New episodes are available to free users one week after airing.

. @FUNimation follows that same format and then some! Everything on their site is free with ads, with new episodes available to free users after one week. Their YouTube has many *entire episodes* freely up to view!

. @retrocrush_tv is a new favorite of mine. 100% FREE and ZERO ads for their growing library of all the anime that walked so today's could run. Your new fave could be something that came out 20 years before you were born. Give them some love!

. @ToeiAnimation, one of the staple studios of anime (Dragonball being one of their hugest franchises), recently launched a YouTube channel where they'll be uploading subbed anime for free right from Japan. Definitely subscribe!

I'll add more as I recall them, but do remember that the industry should be supported unless you truly don't have the means to do so. Pirating simply because you *can* isn't some cool "gotcha" and when so many people do it it all adds up to hurt the industry in the long run.

. @Tubi isn't restricted to anime, but has a generous library of it for free (with ads)!

For the lovers of pulp, horror, and all things bizarre there's . @midnight_pulp ! (And finally, a site that's streaming one of my personal favorite anime films, HELLS~!)

. @VIZMedia is a staple in manga licensing, and they have a huge library of both anime *and* manga on their site!

There's also the volunteer-run . @AnimePlanet who partners with the industry leaders to bring you free anime streaming (and manga too)! The site even has a community character ranking!

. @tmsanime has a handful of anime series on their YouTube channel in both English AND Spanish!
