Viz Media Sharing Older Anime For Free

Dismas · 02-19-2023, 11:32 PM

Viz Media has uploaded a number of older anime to YouTube, so people can watch them for free. Inuyasha was one of my first anime as a kid, so it's neat to see.

Quote:Viz Media uploaded several long-running anime series’ episodes onto its official YouTube channel for free. These are the subbed versions. Not all of the shows are complete. But it is unclear if Viz Media will upload the missing seasons some time in the future, or if there are licensing issues involved. [Thanks, MangaAlerts!]

The anime shows’ episodes that you will be able to watch for free on Viz Media’s YouTube are:
Death Note (Complete)

Hunter x Hunter 2011 (Seasons 1-3)

Inuyasha (Complete)

Mr. Osomatsu (Seasons 1-2)

Naruto (Seasons 1-8)

Sailor Moon (Complete)

For the Inuyasha uploads, you can watch all of the movies as well. It is the only one for which Viz Media has uploaded the theatrical releases. As an aside, these videos are region-locked. They are only available for those in the US.

I wish they'd also make Ranma 1/2 available.

That's another oldie.

While Viz hasn't uploaded Ranma 1/2, there is a YouTube channel that uploaded the entire series:

I personally download my anime from other sources. Of course, it's nice to have an official source though.

Death Note is definitely one to watch.

Overall I'd recommend torrenting as well, but there is a layer of convenience for people that don't want to or are unable.
