Prime Video Becomes the Top Choice for Anime Fans in Japan
A new survey shows that Japanese viewers prefer Amazon Prime Video over Netflix for watching their favorite anime series.
manhwa.newsA recent 2026 survey from the entertainment site Anime! Anime! reveals that Amazon Prime Video is now the most popular paid streaming service for anime fans in Japan. While Netflix has poured a lot of money into producing original content, it has officially fallen into second place behind Amazon in this new ranking.
This shift is surprising because Netflix is known for its massive global library and heavy marketing. However, the data suggests that dedicated fans in Japan favor the selection and accessibility found on Prime Video. It seems that quantity and international visibility do not always translate to fan loyalty in the domestic market.
For fans, this means the landscape of streaming is changing rapidly. It will be interesting to see how Netflix responds to these findings and whether they will adjust their strategy to win back the top spot. For now, Prime Video holds the crown as the preferred hub for the local audience.
