After months of delay, the feature length movie, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, arrives on platform June 16th, 2023. The other major anime release of June is the anime adaptation of Fumi Yoshinaga’s award-winning manga Ōoku: The Inner Chambers.
It’s always tricky balancing new entries into the Best on Netflix list because sometimes it takes a few seasons for a series to shake out the kicks. This month, two series hit the list. One is, new sci-fi anime series Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune which premiered in May. The second is Vinland Saga that just keeps making its case for being considered one of the best anime series, period.
Note: As this is a list of anime series to watch, no anime movies were considered for this feature. This list applies to U.S. Netflix subscribers. Some titles may not currently be available on international platforms (yet). This list will also be periodically amended to remove series no longer available on Netflix, as well as add anime shows now available for streaming on the service.
