UK Legal Anime Streaming May 2018 Round-up

We’re now half-way through the Spring 2018 anime season and there’s been a bunch of catalogue titles joining the services below.

So what is the purpose of this round-up you may ask? Simple, to let folks know what titles are now available to stream legally and what titles are no longer streaming. It’s important to help folks find the titles they want on the right services, especially given the UK had it rough for a long time until around 2016.

For our yearly round-ups on both Amazon Prime and Netflix you can view them here and here.

This list will be sorted by alphabetical order on the services.

Starting off the article is Amazon. We have a couple catalogue titles focused solely on the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
