How To Find All Anime On Netflix

Netflix has a choice selection of movies, TV series, and original productions available for subscribers, but how do viewers find all of the anime content hidden on the streaming service? After the success of Avatar: The Last Airbender on the platform it's clear why Netflix is releasingPokemon Original movies now, as the streaming service clearly hopes to woo anime fans to subscribe in greater numbers. It shouldn't be hard for Netflix to pull this off, as they have a formidable selection of anime titles for viewers to choose from, which is only really useful if the audience can actually find them.

Netflix is hoping to capitalize on anime's growing popularity as a medium. The site is not only releasingPokemonOriginal movies and hosting a lot of popular anime series, but its in-house studio has even begun adapting some choice anime into new live-action series. While Netflix'sOne Piece will have to be different from the anime, there's still considerable excitement from anime fans ahead of the transformation of the text into a standalone live-action property. But viewers have also been burnt by the likes of 2017'sDeath Note adaptation, so sometimes all they're looking for is the animated original.

The streaming giant, of course, is no slouch when it comes to producing premium anime content themselves, with the likes of Netflix'sCyberpunk 2077 anime. So, when no substitutes will suffice and you want to find what Netflix has on the anime front how does one go about finding everything on offer? The answer comes down to category codes. Simply add these into the URL of a Netflix search and immediately you'll be able to see the site's considerable anime library.

For anyone hoping to watch that upcoming series or the rest of Netflix's anime content, try adding a category code after the URL netflix.com/browse/genre/. The site's category codes are as follows: Anime (7424), Anime Action (2653), Anime Comedies (9302), Anime Dramas (452), Anime Features (3063), Anime Sci-Fi (2729), Anime Horror (10695), Anime Fantasy (11146,) and Anime Series (6721). So now that you've got the all-important codes, here's how to make use of them. Say for example you are a viewer in search of Anime Comedies. Type netflix.com/browse/genre/, and then add 9302. Meanwhile, anyone looking for Anime Action simply needs to search netflix.com/browse/genre/2653 to access the likes ofTokyo Ghoul and many more acclaimed titles.

A lot of streaming services are starting to branch into anime as a potentially lucrative medium, with some fans noting thatThe Promised Neverland could potentially be Amazon'sStranger Things. The series is likely to feature the same impressive production values and quality writing that the platform is known for, so Netflix needs a sizeable set of anime titles to compete. Luckily Netflix's anime library boasts the likes ofGantz: O, an intense sci-fi thriller, the very cute seriesLittle Witch Academia, and the classic action-comedyKill La Kill amongst its impressive anime line-up. Outside of these productions, viewers who want to avail ofNetflix's anime options can also find the complex, fascinatingMobile Suit Gundam UC and the wild gothic horrorSoul Eater on the site.
