The anime industry is a billion dollar industry. If you are a lover of the art form, you surely want some episodes on your Android mobile device with over 10,000 shows available.

There are several different applications and websites where you can download Anime for offline use.

There are many sites that we will go over that provide all the entertainment you need to meet your satisfaction. Let’s go over some of the places you can achieve your goal.

Kissanime

Kissanime is a free service available for Android users. You can find sci-fi, romantic, comedy, horror, and more to choose from with this site.

With a streamlined interface it ensures that users have an easy time navigating their website to find all their favorite titles whether English-subbed or dubbed.

Quality ranges from 240p to 2160p along with timely updates to most series.

This app requires a manual install since it is not available on the Google Play Store.

Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll is another top anime site that offers streaming and downloads. With a 14-day free trial, it is also only $7.99 to $9.99 depending on your “fan level.”

Crunchyroll touts the most varied selection out of all anime sites. It also boasts over 50 million users. This is due to the ad-free streaming services it provides, all in high definition.

Bilibili

Bilibili is another free application for Android users. This Chinese-owned website has been around since 2009.

Watching and downloading content doesn’t cost a penny, but if you want exclusive content, early access, and HD, you will need to pay the VIP fee of $14 a month.

This is one of the top websites for the anime, comic, and game industries.

RetroCrush

This app which is the best for classic titles is free. The free version does come with ads, so if you want the Premium version it does cost $6/month.

Whether it’s through the app or via a web browser, you can watch your favorite titles with RetroCrush’s minimalistic design, a favorite of users who love simplicity.

Tubi

Tubi is completely free and available for Android and a multitude of other devices. It may not have the selection of the other apps on our list, but it does have some great titles.

It does have ads, but they are very minimal and barely interrupt your viewing experience.

Hooking up a downloader service to Tubi can accomplish the offline viewing task for you.

Hulu

If you are a paid subscriber to Hulu via the No-Ads option, you can have access to offline viewing.

Hulu has a 30 day free trial to test it out, and after that it is $6 for the basic subscription, and $12 for the Premium.

It’s as easy as clicking search and save with Hulu’s offline viewing feature, letting you watch the shows you want on the go anytime you please.

Mubi

Mubi also supports offline viewing. Available for Android as well, there is a 7-day free trial. After that it is $10/month.

Mobi started off as a social experience and then turned into more of a streaming service in 2010.

Mubi changes its lineup everyday, providing up to date high definition titles fresh to its users which they can rate, review, and follow.

YouTube

YouTube is a well known service which has its fair share of anime. YouTube is free, but if you want YouTube Premium it is $12/month. You don’t even need to register to use the free version.

The Premium version removes all ads, which are short to begin with.

Amazon Prime Video

Amazon Prime Video is another one of the more popular apps that people are familiar with. Amazon is free for 30 days throughout a trial, and then $9/month after that.

Over WiFi, Amazon Prime Video allows you to download titles such as Akita, Cowboy Bebop, and Flame of Recca.

With unlimited access to content with a subscription, you also get all anime titles in high definition on top of everything else.

VRV is special in that it takes the services from many websites and puts them all together to form its service. You can find titles that you would normally find on apps such as Crunchyroll, along with other apps, here.

For this reason, it has one of the biggest libraries of anime, with a selection of over 20,000 hours of video.
