Looking for a free alternative to Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu? Then Tubi TV is the way to go. The content on the video streaming site is free, something the app achieves through its inclusion of ads. Tubi TV has an impressive collection of movies and TV shows that should satisfy most people looking for a way to pass the time for a weekend (or a year). Yearning for a fast-paced Western live-action movie? Tubi TV is worth checking out. Feel like a '90s comedy? The service has plenty on offer, including Mr. Show with Bob and David.

This stretches to Japanese animation as well; in fact, Tubi's anime collection is surprisingly impressive. As a demonstration of the content available on the platform, here are the best free anime on Tubi.

Hunter X Hunter

MyAnimeList: 9.04

Yoshihiro Togashi fans are in for a treat as Tubi has both Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter. These series rank among the very best shonen anime of all time, with the former excelling as a more conventional story (outside the brilliant "Chapter Black" arc) and the latter taking a more experimental approach.

Hunter x Hunter revolves around Gon's quest to follow in his father's footsteps and become a hunter, a role that sees him taking on numerous villains and monsters. That is just the basic premise that Hunter x Hunter uses as a launchpad to explore a wide range of characters and themes.

Toradora!

MyAnimeList: 8.07

One of the most famous anime romcoms, Toradora! Revisits the timeless idea that opposites attract. Contrary to what their appearances might suggest, Ryuuji Takasu is easygoing and responsible while the petite Taiga Aisaka is known for violent outbursts. When they both develop crushes on the other person's best friend, Ryuuji and Taiga decide to work together to increase their chances of finding love.

An influential series, Toradora! Blends fantastic animation with character development, slapstick humor, and an ending that tugs at the heartstrings. As the anime's success inspired plenty of imitators, Toradora! No longer feels as fresh as it did in 2008, but that does not take too much away from the show's appeal.

Ranma 1/2

MyAnimeList: 7.76

Nothing short of a classic, Ranma 1/2 is the definitive gender-bender anime, and it is hilarious. After being cursed to swap genders when splashed with water, Ranma Saotome's life gets even more complicated when he has to decide between three potential suitors.

Ranma 1/2 mines this rom-com premise for all it's worth, and the first few seasons dedicate the majority of their energy to humor rather than romance. Some people might be put off by the anime's age, but Ranma 1/2 is still as enjoyable in 2022 as it was during the early '90s.

Naruto

MyAnimeList: 7.99

Studio Pierrot's Naruto needs no introduction by this point. The anime was inescapable during the 2000s, and while many people might argue that Naruto: Shippuden improves upon its predecessor in nearly every way, the original series still contains many of the franchise's highest points.

For those who grew up with Team 7 and wish to relive the glory days of the Chunin Exams and Sasuke Recovery Mission arcs, Tubi should help scratch that itch. The platform has both the dubbed and subbed versions of Naruto.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

MyAnimeList: 7.88 (Season 1)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's anime adaptation of Stone Ocean is exclusive to Netflix, but people wanting to try out this series do not need to subscribe to that service. All the pre-Stone Ocean main seasons of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure can be streamed on Tubi, amounting to a total of 152 gloriously over-the-top episodes.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is more than just a meme. Following a somewhat uneven start, the anime picks up a lot of steam during its second and third sagas, introducing not only an iconic power system but also characters worthy of using it. Blending stellar action, weird but charming humor, and clever writing, JoJo is a timeless property that has produced some of the highest highs in shonen anime.

Ergo Proxy

MyAnimeList: 7.90

An anime original, Ergo Proxy is an unsettling sci-fi thriller set in a distant future where humanity lives alongside androids. When the latter gain sentience and start to commit murders, Re-I Mayer is assigned the task of investigating the cause behind these crimes.

Boasting impeccable visuals and music, Ergo Proxy weaves a gripping tale that touches upon quite a few philosophical ideas. The anime creates a familiar but cold world, one that has a dream-like quality to it. The story can be a bit slow at times, but the show's few dull moments are worth pushing through to reach its high points.

A Certain Scientific Railgun

MyAnimeList: 7.66 (Season 1)

Tubi has the first two seasons of A Certain Magical Index, however, it is that show's spin-off that ranks among the best free anime series on the streaming platform. A Certain Scientific Railgun pushes Mikoto Misaka to the forefront, focusing on the powerful Esper's closest friendships and the struggles the protagonist faces with accepting help from her peers.

The first season starts as almost a slice of life anime, and this section helps cement the core dynamics between the central characters. Once the action gets going, A Certain Scientific Railgun seldom slows down, particularly during season 2's brilliant opening arc. The latter, known as the Sisters Arc, represents the high point of not only Railgun but also the entire anime franchise. Unfortunately, season 3 is not on Tubi.

Bunny Drop

MyAnimeList: 8.35

Bunny Drop revolves around a father-and-daughter dynamic. At his grandfather's funeral, Daikichi learns that his relative had a child that nobody knew about. Disgusted by his family's dismissive treatment of Rin, Daikichi decides to adopt the girl, a huge step for a guy who has never needed to take care of anybody else.

Bunny Drop chronicles the pair's relationship as they gradually grow more comfortable with each other and their new roles. Except for an uncomfortable opening episode, this anime is wholesome, uplifting, and sweet. Maintaining a realistic and mature tone throughout, Bunny Drop is a masterpiece.

Tiger & Bunny

MyAnimeList: 7.85 (Season 1)

My Hero Academia was hardly the first anime to tackle superheroes, and an argument could be made that it is not the best either. Sunrise's Tiger & Bunny envisions an alternate reality where empowered heroes have been thoroughly commercialized, with their life-saving actions featuring in essentially a reality show and competition.

The title refers to the story's central partnership: the aged Tiger and the youthful Bunny. These two are forced to work together, and like the best buddy cop flicks, they initially hate each other before becoming great friends. Tiger & Bunny has a fantastic roster of supporting characters and villains, along with consistently stellar animation and world-building.

Full Metal Panic!

MyAnimeList: 7.60 (Season 1)

Full Metal Panic! Comes in two flavors: the main series and the Fumoffu spin-off. The former has a couple of seasons, although only the first one is available on Tubi. A cult classic, the anime follows Sousuke Sagara's attempts to protect Kaname Chidori, a high school girl with a powerful ability that could change the world's power balance. Featuring exhilarating action and likable characters, Full Metal Panic! Is a must-watch for mecha fans.

Fumoffu drops the mecha action in favor of school comedy hi-jinks. While a complete departure from the mainline entries, the spin-off's content is still canon, even if nothing of consequence truly happens. That said, Fumoffu is consistently hilarious. The show highlights different sides of the main characters, all the while still remaining true to their established personalities.
