That a free streaming platform has had the luxury of launching a series of new releases with legendary anime films and action titles from the 90s has managed to catch our attention. We must recognize that, if they continue to give us this type of content, it will be a service that we use much more than usual. Especially because the movies are in perfect Spanish and, what’s more, everything is free.
As anime fans who grew up in a time when watching Akira was the law, you can imagine the surprise we had when browsing through the new releases on eFilm. Because this streaming platform, which is subsidized by the Ministry of Culture and Sports and is therefore completely free, has introduced a series of premieres that are fantastic. They are not the latest releases from Japan, but they are films of enormous quality.
Encourage mansalva
Before we mentioned Akira, the Katsuhiro Otomo classic that arrived in Spain in legendary times under that slogan “Neo-Tokyo is about to explode.” Well, we can confirm that this film classic, the first anime VHS that many of us had at the time, is among the latest eFilm releases. The film, with its two hours of authentic Japanese madness, can be enjoyed without paying anything at all.
But be careful, because it is not the only basic classic that has been added. From that same time, Venus Wars, another amazing title from the same time, has also been integrated into the catalogue. It should be added that this anime film is not on any popular streaming platform, as you can see if you consult a service like JustWatch. So having it on hand in eFilm has made us want to see it madly. It is one of those movies that come in well and that we have to enjoy if we like anime.
However, possibly one of the releases that will garner the most views is Street Fighter II: The Movie. And no, we are not talking about the live-action adaptation starring Van Damme, but about the successful animated film that, even decades later, is still considered one of the best video game adaptations ever made. The best thing about the film is its combats, whose blows hit with tremendous force. In addition, it has memorable battles that are very iconic, such as the one between Chun-Li in his confrontation against the Spanish Vega.
Premieres to return to the 90s
In addition to the anime premieres, we have also seen that eFilm has added some titles that in the 90s were pure fire among the young people of the time. For example, the first two live-action films starring the Ninja Turtles. Yes, those, the Ninja Rap ones with Vanilla Ice and the “Spanish-style” Cowabunga. For many fans, compared to recent adaptations, they are classics that haven’t aged as badly as one might imagine, so being able to see them again will be great.
On the other hand, the platform has more interesting anime that you can watch and that makes it our source of entertainment for the coming weeks. You have available, for example, a compilation with the best episodes of Sherlock Holmes, the anime series created by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, the animation genius of Studio Ghibli. You can also find other titles such as Mirai, my little sister, Book Girl, The Boy and the Beast or even the classic Heidi and Marco series, two pillars of anime from the 70s.
To be able to view eFilm content, all you have to do is register. You can do this by contacting or visiting your nearest public library. With that they will give you access to the web and you can watch all the movies and series you want.
