So, "Accel World - Infinite Burst" just came out and I wanna watch it, but the problem is I don't know where to legally watch anime movies. Crunchyroll and Hulu don't work for anime movies, I also tried Daisuki and Funimation but I got the same result which means no result at all. Please help a fellow otaku out. |

Unless we get a miracle and a publisher picks it up then you ain't getting it. It takes half a year minimum for it to come out illegally let alone legally. For latest films you have to be really patient. Plus films rarely get put up on streaming sites and only get a DVD/BD release later down the line (again assuming someone pickes it up). |

The Accel World movie just came out in theaters in Japan last month, which means it won't even be available illegally for several months until the Japanese discs get released. Then it'll have to be picked up by a distributor like Viz before it has a chance of making it to legal streaming sites. CR does have some movies, like 5 cm/s and Jin-Roh, and Funi has a few as well, though you often have to be a subscriber to view them. Japanese companies are more hesitant to allow things like movies and OVAs, where Japanese audiences have to purchase tickets or discs to see them, to be streamed for free. Animenewsnetwork.com Encyclopedia pages can tell you if a particular movie is legally streaming anywhere. Afaik the pirate hunters are more interested in busting bootleg streaming sites, not individual viewers. But if buying the movie on disc isn't an option, you can at least minimize industry damage by downloading the movie when it gets subbed instead of watching on an illegal streaming site.

Technically using this kind of sites as user is illegal. But yea there is no site for this OP.With that mind set watching with torrents should be fine. |

The quickest legal option to see it is buying the Japanese BD when it comes out on September 28th. I wouldn't recommend it since it is raw and doesn't have English subs and importing is expensive as hell. (A single Japanese BD will cost you $70 USD + Shipping which is over twice as much as you'd pay for a new BD hot off the shelf here in the US) Otherwise you have to wait years for VIZ to get an f-ing clue and license and release it in the states here. |

The movie just came out a month ago and no company has licensed the movie yet for international release. The Japanese BD's also won't come out in like.....5 months or so.. Viz Media licensed the original TV series so you're going to have to wait for them to license the movie. |

Illegal site-using wusses calling legal users wusses while being too much of a wuss to pay 8 bucks a month for a decent legal site that'll never get taken down under any decent circumstances. No wonder this community sucks :P |

I do agree with you, I'm just stating (the obvious). I do think that any you actually can buy something, it wouldn't be a bad idea. Unfortunately, the anime industry isn't doing very well as a whole - that's why we get so many garbage shows - and I doubt it will get better anytime soon. |

Honestly don't bother with legal sites. You're best off watching movies on GoGoAnime or KissAnime (Don't know if I'm allowed to mention other sites - if not I'll delete it or someone get a mod to remove this). Watching it legally won't help the industry and you'll be wasting your time trying to find an English Sub on a Japanese Website. If these 'pirate hunters' find an illegal streaming sight, they won't be able to take it down unless it's approved by Japan's Court - and it's highly unlikely this will happen because anime is only alive thanks to the Western Culture. |

You can wait for the movie to be fully released, and then if you can't find a site to watch, just download it. Download is the best way. |

It has already been mentioned before, if you insist on watching it legally then you need to buy the BD/DVD when it comes out. You are better off pirating it though , since Accel World is shit anyway. |

If the movie just came out in Japan, it's not going to be available over here (legally or illegally) for a few months. I'm still waiting for One Piece Gold to be released which was released in Japan last month. Your best bet would be to be extremely patient or just watch it on kissanime or whatever. And in regards to the pirate hunters, yeah, good luck Japan. Piracy can't be stopped. Unless the internet ceases to exist that is. Good luck trying to find and arrest every last person watching anime on the million of streaming sites out there. Unless you're in Japan watching it illegally, Japan has no jurisdiction on what people do in other countries. What they can do, however is not license their anime out to other countries, but yeah I don't see that happening since anime is probably more popular outside of Japan than it is in actual Japan, but don't quote me on that. The company you should be worried about though is Funimation. Now THEY are known to file lawsuits in regards to piracy. |

You know why they don't care about the western consumers? Because not enough people choose to watch legally to incentivize them to care about the west. Maybe give them a reason to care by showing that you care enough to support their work? Though I must admit that I watch on Kissanime what I can't find legally, and sadly, that means almost every anime movie. It's a pity that movies often aren't available for legal streaming. |

Agreed. That's what I usually do if I really want to see it badly. Unless, the Japanese BD has English subs, then I would import since Japan and the US have the same BD region. That doesn't happen very often though. |

Seriously, just watch it illegally. The "pirate hunter" ain't concerned about individual viewers themselves as much as sites that distribute the content. And even there they're going to have a hell of a difficult time trying to take kissanime and other respective "illegal" streaming sites down. |

Just buy the blu rays. They are pretty cheap especially for stand alone anime movies as you don't have to buy any more stuff to have a complete collection of stuff. For these really renownd anime movies and stuff, blind buying is probably pretty safe. Like I blind brought redline, girl who lept through time, perfect blue, paprika and tokyo godfathers and they were good to amazing. |

The movie just aired in Japan, that means you have like 6+ months before the actual DVD/BD release unless you're desperate enough for cam-rips. Then add in a couple weeks to an extra month for subbers cause licensers like Funi and Crunchyroll, who don't license movies that fast and rarely upload movies so other sites can't reupload rips of their uploads. If you're lucky, Netflix or Hulu might upload some of the older films but since I don't use either anymore, I don't know if they upload anything new. Aside from that, you'r stuck 'illegally' downloading and/or streaming. |

The DVD/BD is out next month on the 28th actually, according to CDJapan, so not quite that long. But this is an unusual case of speedy video release at only 2 months after the theatrical debut, usually they do take as long as 6+ months. It will probably be making the rounds fansubed in October sometime. |

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/. The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish. Show your support to your favorite artist if you can! ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

They have almost every movie you would want to see, a vast number of them on Blu-ray. I watched more movies last month than I ever have in my life because of Netflix DVD, many of them being expensive Criterion releases. If someone is only interested in one or two movies, they could try the one month free trial.Paul said: If you're lucky, Netflix or Hulu might upload some of the older films but since I don't use either anymore, I don't know if they upload anything new.
