Is there a global Japan Streaming plataform for anime?

I've been trying to find an anime streaming platform directly from a Japan company but I only manage to find the US one's like Netflix, Prime, Crunchyroll... Does anyone knows one from Japan that transmits world wide (or in Europe in my case) and has lots of animes (at least the most popular one's) and subs in English or Portuguese so that I can subscribe and send my money directly to Japan instead of the US? Because think with me... the majority of the animes are made in Japan and they don't have a main world wide streaming platform??

Correct, that's what licensing is for.

(If you ignore the fact that Crunchyroll is owned by Sony, a Japanese company.)

Streaming doesn’t just mean hosting a server in Japan and putting up your videos. That is going to have horrible latency for anyone not in the country.

All the big streaming platforms have network infrastructure all around the world and in multiple locations per country so they can serve the most users with the fastest and best quality streams.

Why try and offer something internally when Netflix and Amazon are not only just paying international licensing fees to air your show, but are coming to the table with cash at hand before you start production as investors willing to bankroll (some) of your production for exclusive streaming access?

More importantly, all the past attempts crashed and burned because of a lack of understanding of the foreign audience

PPGN_DM_Exia2026-01-25 17:06

Lol no. Not a legal platform anyway.

DragonDogeErus2026-01-25 17:49

U-Next maybe. I know it's Japan's main Netflix competitor. I doubt it has English or Portuguese subs though.

abandoned_idol2026-01-25 17:54

Does it have "Engrish" or "Gaijin" subs at least?

Hamza_Gazi2026-01-25 18:06

Isn't Crunchyroll owned by Sony? And Sony, by my knowledge, is Japanese?

Not really. Most Japanese platforms are region-locked. International services like Crunchyroll usually license directly from Japanese studios.

>the US one's like Netflix, Prime, Crunchyroll.

In my country, streaming catalogues have less anime than in USA. The catalogues are small and i don't have all the animes i want to watch.

Official youtube channels with anime don't make their anime available for my country.

Hulu also doesn’t exist and had some of their stuff on Disney plus.

Warm-Woodpecker-61262026-01-26 00:35

Exactly, the same happens with me, Crunchyroll is probably the one with the most but doesn't have as many as in the US, Prime has more then Netflix, at least some popular one's like Dr stone, AOT, Fullmetal Alchemist, Demon Slayer, and a few more but that's it.
Most of the time I see a really cool anime on Instagram then I search and it's not available in any of those options in my country. So now I'm just sticking with one piece in an anime app made by the brazilian community for free no ads with more animes than the ones available in the streaming options nowadays (I'm episode 843 at this point)

Gullible_Bat_54082026-01-26 00:39

Other options are Internet archive, Bilibili app and animes playlists on YouTube (not channels).

I also can watch Shin-chan in pt-pt dub on offficial channel.

Warm-Woodpecker-61262026-01-26 00:53

I use the "tomato" app, if u want I can send you the link for the download but thank you for the help

Btw, just asking, are you Portuguese too? Because Shin-chan in portuguese from Portugal it's just absolute cinema, only us who know it would mention that 😂

Gullible_Bat_54082026-01-26 01:00

Sim, sou portuguesa.
Shin-chan e o Dartacão em pt-pt são fixes. Ambos no YouTube !

Warm-Woodpecker-61262026-01-26 01:08

Esses são a verdadeira nostalgia da infância, ainda bem que colocaram no YouTube!!
Já agora, é raro para mim encontrar uma portuguesa que também gosta de anime, sou de 2008, se fores perto da minha idade, seria fixe ter alguém para falar e depois dar me recomendações já que daqui a nada eu acabo One Piece 🤷🏽

Japanese only, but I wonder if Westerners can watch sites like [Nico Nico Douga](https://www.nicovideo.jp/) or [Abema](https://abema.tv/)?
These two sites have proper contracts with anime companies and Japanese TV stations, so they officially stream anime. The latest episodes are free to watch for one week (in JST, not Pacific Time).
Abema usually streams older series as well as some of the more recent anime, and sometimes all episodes are free to watch. You don’t even need an account. They do ask for your age, but it doesn’t have to be accurate, and you can skip it.
