Here are the Top Nine anime series to keep an eye out for that will be streaming on HiDive this Summer broadcasting slate.
Crunchyroll has a tight grip on the anime streaming industry and alongside Netflix, the pair dominate the vast majority of simulcast releases.
However, one of the fastest-growing platforms appears to be HiDive, which has made a name for itself over the past few broadcasting slates for picking up the shows that missed Crunchyroll by.
As we start a new broadcasting slate, fans should be aware that there are at least nine major anime series on HiDive that are well worth your attention this Summer.
How to get a HiDive streaming subscription
HiDive is quickly making a name for itself as an alternative anime streaming platform to Crunchyroll, following the absence of Funimation with the infamous merger last year.
Interestingly, HiDive is actually the cheaper platform to subscribe to, although it currently offers only a fraction of the simulcast anime that Crunchyroll airs.
Fans can take advantage of a 14-day free trial, with a subscription to the platform currently costing only $4.99 a month.
There is also an option to purchase a yearly subscription at $47.99 per annum, which includes a 20% discount compared to the monthly release.
