There are some great anime of all time that we can rewatch today, which you can continue to enjoy if you have an account on a streaming platform. This is the case of Cowboy Bebop or Attack on Titan, essential series for fans of Japanese cartoons. But others are not. They may not be the best anime in history, but they are fun and recommended anime that, unfortunately, we will not be able to see again on any streaming platform. At least for now.
We would like to catch up or we would like to see it, have you ever thought about it. “I wish I could see them again…” or they have been recommended to you at events and family gatherings, everyone talks about them and you are curious and want to see them… but no, they are gone. These animes are not on any streaming platform (not Crunchyroll either) and we miss them.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga that has two different anime adaptations. Both are essential if we are looking for quality series, but Brotherhood has become one of the favorites of fans of this Japanese art, betting on a somewhat darker and more adult tone and leaving aside some more “childish” aspects of the first animated series. premiered.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood tells us the story of two brothers. Alfonse and Edward Elric lived with her mother until her death. And they decide to resurrect her with alchemy. But it goes wrong and the oldest of the brothers will lose his arm; the little one, his body. They will then embark on a journey in which they will try to become professionals in alchemy to do their best and try to recover their bodies, to be as they were before the accident.
death note
One of the essentials among the best anime series of all time is Death Note. Until recently, the series was available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but today it is one of the essential anime that we cannot see on any platform, although it is expected to return soon and Netflix has announced its return soon.
The series follows Light Yagami. He is an exemplary student and teenager but the Death Note notebook will come into his hands. A notebook in which he can write down the name of any person and have them die. He can choose how and he will use it to take revenge on all those who have done something wrong, he will use this power to create a world without criminals, a perfect world. But the mass deaths will have a detective trying to find the culprit.
Kenshin, The Samurai Warrior
The boys and girls of the nineties were able to see Kenshin on television. The anime was a couple of years ago on Netflix but is no longer available. It takes us to the Japan of the Meji Era to meet the wanderer Kenshin Himura who travels from city to city wanting to forget his past, in which he was a bloodthirsty murderer. On his journey he will meet Kaouru, a young woman who will invite him to stay with her as an instructor at the Kendo dojo, but it will not be easy for Kenshin to forget his past and all the enemies who seek revenge. Despite the fact that it premiered in 1996, it is still one of the essentials and one of the great anime series that you can watch again.
sailor Moon
Totally different from others on this list is Sailor Moon, one of the childhood and adolescence series of millions of people in Spain and that we cannot see, unfortunately, on any streaming platform. Released in 1992 and with 200 episodes available, Usagi Tsukino is a teenager whose life will change when she learns that she has a mission as a Sailor Scout along with others like Mercury, Mars, Jupiter or Venus in an essential anime.
samurai champloo
Samurai Champloo is one of the great anime classics and in Spain we could see it in Cuatro a little over ten years ago but unfortunately we can’t see it now on any streaming platform.
With only 26 episodes in total, the series follows a 15-year-old girl, Fuu. She used to work in a tea house until a fight changes her plans and she will travel together with Mugen and Jin to find the “samurai that smells like sunflowers”.
Yuyu Hakusho
Yusuke Urameshi is a 14-year-old teenager who has died trying to save a child in a car accident. But it was not his time to die so his soul is sent to the afterlife where he is informed of his new mission and of his return to the world of the living: he is going to become a spiritual investigator and has to solve cases related to paranormal events.
A series launched in the 1990s that was broadcast in Spain on La Sexta and on Canal 33 in Catalonia but that we cannot see again today in streaming if we are curious or if we wanted to see it again.
bleach
Bleach is not one of the best animes in history but it was surely one of the ones you remember from your adolescence. Ichigo Kurosaki is a teenager capable of interacting with spirits and meets Rukia. She is a shinigami who will transfer her powers to him. Kurosaki will have to do everything possible to help lost souls find their way.
dragon ball
Although some episodes of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z are broadcast on Comedy Central and Movistar + a la carte, we cannot see all the series starring Goku. Although we would like to. You can watch some of the chapters through the aforementioned channel and some seasons are available on demand if you have a Movistar Plus+ subscription but you can’t watch Dragon Ball GT or other later series like Dragon Ball Super.
We have little left to say about this saga, one of the most famous anime of all time. And few do not already know Goku, Vegeta, Bulma and the others. Akira Toriyama launched the manga in the 1980s and tells the story of Goku and his tireless search for the Dragon Balls.
one piece
One of the animes with the most episodes in history and the longest is One Piece. It is the best-selling manga in the history of Japan and the anime series has more than 1,000 episodes broadcast from 1999 to today. Unlike others on this list, some of the One Piece chapters are available through Crunchyroll but not on other streaming platforms that we regularly use, such as Netflix or Prime Video.
One Piece follows the story and adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a particular young pirate who has the advantage of being a “rubber man” after an accident when he was little. Luffy wants to be the King of the Pirates and he must find the One Piece to achieve it.
Code Geass
Code Geass is not as old as other series on this list, but it is also one of the essentials that we miss on streaming platforms and that was on Netflix until very recently. With 25 episodes, it tells us about an alternative reality in which a third of the planet has been conquered by the Holy Britannian Empire. The planet is divided into three great superpowers that share the world and Japan has gone on to live in ghettos in the so-called “Area 11” under the name of Elevens but a group of inhabitants will continue to fight to be independent.
