Classic anime in one place

About RareAnimes

An English guide to classic and hard-to-find anime, with one button to the official services that carry each title.

RareAnimes gathers 157 anime from 1969 to 1999, from Sazae-san and The Genie Family to Astro Boy, The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Urusei Yatsura and the short video series of the 1990s, each with its story, year, episodes and a Watch now button that opens it on JustWatch for the country you choose.

My List is stored inside this browser only; a title joins it the moment you press the button, and an export file carries it to another device.

Posters and production data come from TMDB. The help pages and the home page guide are written for RareAnimes, an independent site with its own editorial team.

How these pages work

RareAnimes groups movies and TV shows so you can find what you are after quickly: by name, genre, language, country, year, collection or the A-Z list. Each title page shows the original name, the synopsis, the seasons and dated episodes we have, and a Watch now button that opens the title on JustWatch for your chosen country.

My List keeps your saved titles in this browser. Titles play on the service you open with Watch now, in HD and with subtitles where the service offers them. Titles, posters and production data come from TMDB.
