Some good anime to watch during covid?
Answers
Answer:
Want to watch the best anime shows around? You've picked a great time – there's been no better point in history to be watching anime than right now. That's not to say anime is necessarily at its creative peak in 2020, it's just that it's never been easier to watch the best anime thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Crunchyroll and Funimation now. Out-of-print, overpriced DVDs and pricey imports are over – you can watch most of the best anime right now without much hassle.
Every season, production houses in Japan release dozens of new anime, and you can usually find all of it on streamers like Crunchyroll, translated into English, on the day they originally air. Some classic anime from the '80s and '90s are more elusive, but even they've started popping up on various services – particularly in the US, which has more ways to watch anime than Europe or Australia does.
So, whether you're new to anime or you're looking for a new animated obsession, we've picked out the best anime below. They cover genres as wildly different as action-heavy shonen to sports, mecha, romance and slice-of-life.
Note that the 'where to watch' section only applies to the US, though Netflix original productions can be watched globally, and you'll find plenty of crossover on Crunchyroll too.
