Anime has seen a lot of support over the past few years with many companies providing new shows across legal streaming sites like Crunchyroll, Daisuki, and Funimation. But now a new one has entered the scene.
HIDIVE launched earlier this week with a mission – free and legal anime streams with a premium service offering tons of content at a surprisingly good price point of $3.99 per month for the time being. The service has been supported by Sentai Filmworks and in return a number of their titles are now available for legal streaming. Many of which you may have seen appear already on Crunchyroll but the difference here is that it will also be the home for a lot of titles once exclusive to The Anime Network and also some upcoming Summer 2017 titles. The Anime Network will discontinue its online services and remain as a Video on Demand site so any titles that were UK accessible will be gone from there. But the good news is that HIDIVE will help clear the void.
The link to the website is here.
So what does the service have to offer that compares themselves to others you may ask? Well then, here’s a list that explains the memberships available.
Free
Premium ($3.99 per month – limited time introduction offer)
From first glance this is basically a mix between Crunchyroll and Funimation in terms of how they’re handling the service, so this is a step in the right direction. The price point is also pretty good considering its select number of content available. Now we can confirm that HIDIVE will support the United Kingdom & Ireland (which makes sense as Sentai Filmworks also have UK rights to select titles) so we did some research and have offered a comprehensive list of titles available and compatible for the time being.
Yes that’s right, we can confirm that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is among the ones listed. Sentai Filmworks will be offering the entire series episode by episode followed by the films in due time on HIDIVE.
