The "Where Can I Watch This?" Thread

We are in the age of streaming. There are many titles that sound intriguing, but many people don't know where to find them. Browsing the internet I see many forum threads asking "Where can I watch *insert anime name here*?"

So, I figured a thread like this could be helpful. Other users and myself can answer your streaming and DVD questions if possible.

I can start. Where can I watch the following?:
-NANA
-Paradise Kiss
-Kodocha
-Hell Girl
-Vampire Princess Miyu (TV)
-Nodame Cantible
-Princess Tutu
-Baccano!

Feel free to submit your own questions and such and I will do my best to help.

Full disclosure, I hardly watch any anime these days, so I'm unfortunately not great at keeping up even with what sites are the best anime streaming sites, let alone what's streaming where.

But I love the Vampire Princess Miyu TV series myself, and your question made me curious, so the answer is:

Netflix.

If anyone happens to know the legal streaming source for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, let me know. It is on my "to watch" list.

As of August 2021, in the US unless otherwise noted. If location's an issue, you CAN get around it with a VPN and that is, to my knowledge, legal.
I wasn't super thorough about searching, but in general if I didn't post it, I didn't find it. Didn't look into offerings only visible to other countries either.
Also included links for the series (or related media) on RightStuf along with their regular price, though it's worth checking back because they constantly have sales. US region DVDs/BDs, but that's obviously not a complete picture of English-language releases. For example, you CAN buy Baccano! from Anime Limited, but it's a Region B BD, so you'll need to invest in a region-free player or software that can get around that.

td;dr I'm a USAian linking USA stuff.

DEMON SLAYER:
Crunchyroll (Free/Ads)
Funimation (Free/Ads)
Netflix (Subscription)
Hulu (Subscription)

Part 1 BD (65 USD)
Part 2 BD (65 USD)

NANA:

HIDIVE (Subscription)
Amazon (Subscription, not available in the US)
Netflix (Subscription, not available in the US)

PARADISE KISS:
Complete manga (30 USD)

HELL GIRL:

Crunchyroll (Free/Ads) (Season 4, I guess?)

And now I'm going to plug RetroCrush because they've got a lot of older and unknown stuff (makes sense, they tend to get Discotek's releases). Completely free with ads.

Thank you!

Tubi, I know has a lot of really random and old stuff too. Peacock's anime selection is all free with ads. The stuff they have is mainly giant robots and shoujo series, though.

Thanks! When I first looked at that I thought it was $9.99 for the whole series, which would be an absolute steal, but $19.98 for 26 episodes is also still not bad at all! This might be a good candidate to ポチる (<- Japanese word for one-click-buying)

12 Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, ROBOT CARNIVAL, Memories, Infinite Ryvius, which I always wanted to finish watching and never did . . . awesome, awesome, awesome.

Good to see you around, and thanks so much for the info!

And thanks for this! Like RetroCrush, it looks like it has some really cool stuff on there!

And, yeah. Demon Slayer is pretty easy to find. Unfortunately the movie is stuck behind Funimation's Premium Plus. *cries in a hole* I don't know if you can go into the upcoming season without having seen it, though, since it has that one demon from the end.
