Reader’s Question:
I’m done with my exams and I’m planning to catch up on the anime I’ve been saving. Which app do you recommend the most for watching anime, like Netflix or U-NEXT?
Finding the Perfect Anime Streaming Service
Oh man, I remember when I finished my exams and the first thing
I wanted to do was dive into a mountain of anime. It felt like the world was my oyster, but I quickly found myself in the rabbit hole of streaming services. There are just so many options! One of my buddies, who’s as obsessed with anime as I am, swears by dアニメストア. He told me it’s a treasure trove for anime lovers, and honestly, it sounded perfect for me. With over 5000 titles available for just 550 yen a month if you register through a browser, I thought, “Why not?” Plus, I didn’t want to break the bank, especially with all the snacks I had planned for my binge-watching session. I mean, what’s anime without some popcorn, right? Then there’s DMM TV, which my friend mentioned is also a good option. It has a mix of dramas and some anime for the same price as dアニメストア. I like the idea of mixing it up a bit, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stray from the pure anime goodness just yet. As for the big names, I’ve had my eyes on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix too. My experience with Amazon Prime has been hit or miss—some anime titles are just too pricey on a pay-per-view basis, which can be a bummer. Netflix, on the other hand, has some exclusive series that I’ve been dying to check out. But at 1490 yen a month, I was hesitant. You know how it is: I can’t resist splurging on snacks instead of streaming fees! And then there’s U-NEXT. I hear it has the largest library of anime, which is amazing, but the price tag of 2189 yen threw me off. I mean, I love anime, but I also love my wallet, you know? It’s like choosing between a fancy dinner or that cool concert ticket—tough call! In the end, I decided to go with dアニメストア for its sheer volume of anime and price. I settled in with my blanket, a mountain of chips, and went on to watch one of my all-time favorites. There’s just something satisfying about watching anime while munching on snacks, laughing at the absurdity of the characters, and feeling those wholesome moments tug at your heartstrings. So, if you’re in the same boat as I was, I’d say go for dアニメストア if you’re looking to focus solely on anime. But if you’re feeling adventurous and want a mix of dramas, maybe DMM TV is worth considering. What about you? What’s your go-to app for anime? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have! Drop them in the comments below!
