The prettiest way to get these animations would be by buying Blu-Ray discs but it is rather on the high side. So, the good news is that there are a lot of legal and free streaming sites. In these sites, you can get to watch some ads in other to watch your animated movies.

Netflix is available to over 55 countries. Examples of anime titles depending on their countries are;
