Watching anime is too much fun. You know it only after watching it. I’ve been watching these anime shows from the last 3 years. Be it on Netflix, or Crunchyroll.

Although these are the best platforms to stream all the anime, there’s one major problem with them. All these video streaming platforms are paid.

What if you wanna stream anime shows for free? What are the options? Well, here they are as I’ve listed 15 sites to Watch Netflix anime for free. Let’s get straight to it –

1) 9anime

9anime is the 1st website to be included in this list of free Netflix anime sites. 9anime is quite a renowned anime streaming website for anime lovers. Even after numerous changes in the TLD, the anime website is still running without any issue.

With a darker UI, 9anime looks great in terms of visuals. Further, in terms of the offering, it allows you to watch your favorite anime from popular genres such as action, comedy, drama genres. All in all, anime at the 9anime website are divided into a total of 42 Genres. Isn’t this great.

Crunchyroll is the 2nd site in this list of free Netflix anime sites. Although, you need an active premium Crunchyroll subscription to stream anime. You can do that by availing a 1-month free trial with a new Crunchyroll account. So, technically, that’s free, even it is for a month. Isn’t it?

Now, coming to the site, it has 5 menus at the top – Shows, Manga, News, Games & Premium. Further, at the top right corner, there’re 5 options – Login, Queue, Random & Search.

Apart from featured shows & news, there’s not much to see on the homepage of Crunchyroll.com. If at any point in time, you’re having doubts about what to watch, you can press the Random option at the top right corner. Now, you’ll have random anime to watch.

12) Chia-anime

Chia-anime is the 12th site in this list of free Netflix anime sites. I’ve been watching anime on these sites for quite some time. However, none of them looked as bad as Chia-anime. Even though the site has a darker UI, but when it comes to user experience, it’s the worst.

If you don’t believe me, go to the URL address of Chia-anime I’ve added below. You’ll see the ads everywhere. That’s not the issue why I’ve criticized this site so much.

I’ve got a perfectly fine internet to connect but still, images at the homepage will not load. In terms of anime & manga, it does offer a good amount of collection. From anime, anime movies to Manga, you’ll get everything you need in one place. If you’re unable to find your favorite anime or manga, I would recommend you to think of Chia-anime as your last resort.

14) Soul Anime

Soul Anime is the 14th website on this list to watch free Netflix anime. In terms of looks, it’s nothing but pathetic. With the animated logo & blue-white color combination, the site looks third-class on the outside. And broken images at the homepage does not help either.

However, there’s a major reason why I’ve added this site on this list. It offers a countless number of anime on their site. Further, Soul Anime updates their database with new episodes on a daily basis.

For instance, I was waiting for the 9th episode of Deca Dence anime & you won’t believe me, it was the 1st site to update the anime on their site.
