For streaming soccer anime, some popular platforms include Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix, and ABEMA.
Crunchyroll, a leading anime platform, boasts a vast library of anime series and simulcasts, often releasing episodes the same day they're broadcast in Japan. Its search functions let you find shows by genre or popularity, making it a great choice for discovering new series.
Hulu offers a large and diverse anime catalog, including classics and newer hits. While not specialized solely in anime, Hulu’s selection caters to varied tastes across genres.
Netflix also carries several anime titles and produces original anime content. Although it may not always have every soccer anime, it’s another major platform where such series might appear, especially popular and exclusive titles.
ABEMA, a Japanese streaming service, provides anime content with multilingual audio options and easy episode browsing. Its availability is mostly limited to Japan, and users outside Japan may need a VPN, which can be unreliable.
While these platforms are the most common for anime streaming, availability can vary by region and by specific show licensing. For example, 'Captain Tsubasa' and 'Blue Lock' have been available on Crunchyroll in the past, while others may appear on any of these platforms depending on licensing at the time.
'Clean Freak! Aoyama kun' and 'Aoki Densetsu Shoot!' are currently not available to stream, but they can be found in local libraries. 'Clean Freak! Aoyama kun' offers a degree of off-beat humor and quirkiness, with the protagonist Aoyama hating getting dirty. 'Aoki Densetsu Shoot!' is a classic soccer anime from the 1990s about Toshihiko Tanaka, a high school student pursuing football glory, and follows the underdog struggle to excel.
'Farewell, My Dear Cramer' is a sequel to "Sayonara, Football" and focuses on young women in the soccer world, offering a fairly realistic depiction of the soccer world and the dynamics between talented players. 'Days' centers on the relationship between two players, Jin and Tsukushi, with the former being a prodigy and the latter having spirit and enthusiasm despite lacking natural skill.
'Hungry Heart: Wild Striker' features Kano Kyosuke, a high school student struggling to escape the shadow of his phenom older brother. 'Blue Lock' is a hit adaptation of a super-popular manga, where players are trained in a grueling, highly competitive regimen.
