Free anime is great, but some series just can't be offered that way. Other times, we have a shiny high definition version that uses a ton of bandwidth. In those cases, Anime News Network now offers "Premium" anime -- stuff you might have to pay a little bit to see, but won't require a huge investment. Think of it like subscribing to a specialty cable channel, except you only pay for what you want to see.

It works like this:

1. Make sure you're logged into AnimeNewsNetwork.com.

2. You pay a small amount to "unlock" a block of episodes (or HD versions)! It will usually be (way) under $1 an episode.

3. Start watching your episodes! They won't expire until our license expires. (It's noted on the episode listing.)

You can pay via credit card, or via a PayPal account. Pretty simple, right? Also, some packages come with a bonus, like coupons, special offers, or bonus video features.

It's a cheap, easy and high-quality way to show your support and watch the shows you love. Try a Premium Series today!
