The best apps for viewing anime on Android

The vast majority of programs contained in Google Play are not at all adapted for use in Russia. They offer an interface in foreign languages ​​and often do not even have Russian subtitles, not to mention Russian dubbing. Therefore, choosing the right application is not so easy. Most likely, after several unsuccessful attempts, you will completely abandon this idea. Of course, you can use various kinds of cinemas (Kinopoisk, OKKO and other services offer anime in their catalog), but their choice is very limited, and viewing is only possible by subscription.

The Android anime apps we selected for our selection are for use in Russia. They differ in functionality and are not the same in terms of ease of use, but in general they will be able to provide anime viewing, and this is exactly what is required of them. Not all applications listed below can be downloaded from the Play Market. Some will have to be downloaded from third-party sites. The reasons for their absence in the official Google store are simple - they violate copyright. However, this does not mean that you should not trust them, just that you will have to tinker a little with the installation. These programs are no worse than the official software, and in some respects offer even more features.

This is the official anime app that can be downloaded from Google Play.

The application also includes news, searching for the catalog and the release program of new episodes in the original and Russian-speaking dubbing. The program has a pleasant and logical interface, as well as a built-in player to watch video.

Wakanim is estimated by users not very high and the reason is simple - a large amount of advertising. For those who are not ready to spend time on viewing commercials provides for a subscription for 399 rubles per month. It will not only completely turn off the advertisement, but also openline viewing, early access to exclusive materials, as well as boost playback quality to HD.
