So, you're a Brit wanting to watch Attack on Titan? You're not alone! Finding it legally in the UK can feel harder than dodging a Titan yourself.
Don't worry, we've all been there. Let's explore the options, shall we?
Streaming Services: Your Best Bet
First, the big guns: streaming services. These are usually the easiest way to watch anime legally.
Crunchyroll: The Anime Mecca
Crunchyroll is probably your first thought. It's basically the Netflix of anime, right?
Good news: they *do* have Attack on Titan! Bad news: you'll need a subscription. But hey, think of it as supporting the creators!
Is it just me, or is navigating their website sometimes a little…chaotic? Just me? Okay, moving on.
Funimation: Another Contender
Then there's Funimation. They've also got a solid anime library.
Did Funimation and Crunchyroll merge? Yes, they did! This makes things simpler... kind of. Navigating the merged landscape still has its quirks, in my humble opinion.
Subscription required here too, of course. Are we sensing a theme?
Netflix: The Occasional Surprise
Ah, Netflix. The old reliable. Sometimes they surprise you with anime gold.
They *have* had Attack on Titan in the past. But whether they currently do? That's the million-pound question. Check their UK library before you get too excited!
It’s like a gamble! Will you win? Or will you have to find another way to witness Eren's rage?
Other (Slightly More Complicated) Options
Okay, so streaming services aren't the *only* way. Let's venture into slightly more obscure territory.
Buying Episodes/Seasons: For the Collectors
You could, of course, buy digital episodes or seasons. Places like the Google Play Store or the Apple TV app sometimes offer them.
This is great if you want to *own* Attack on Titan forever. Think of it as a digital collector's item.
But honestly? It can get pretty pricey. Are you really going to re-watch the whole series *that* many times?
DVDs/Blu-rays: The Old-School Route
Remember DVDs? Blu-rays? They still exist! You can buy physical copies of Attack on Titan.
This is perfect if you're a purist, and you enjoy the tactile experience of holding a physical disc.
Plus, no pesky streaming rights issues to worry about! But... who even owns a DVD player anymore? Unpopular opinion: I secretly still do.
The "Legally" Part: Why It Matters
I know, I know, the siren song of free, unofficial streaming sites is tempting.
But watching anime legally supports the creators! Plus, you avoid the risk of dodgy websites and viruses. No one wants their computer to get attacked by *digital* Titans.
It's a win-win! You get to enjoy Attack on Titan, and the anime industry gets to keep making awesome stuff. So do the right thing and subscribe!
Final Thoughts
Watching Attack on Titan legally in the UK takes a little effort. But it's worth it!
Explore your streaming options, consider buying episodes, and remember the joys of physical media.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Titans to watch. Shinzou wo Sasageyo!
