WITH streaming services available for every viewer’s delight, I thought hey, let’s delve into the world of anime. Formerly known as Funimation Productions, Crunchyroll is currently one of the top anime streaming services in the United States.
With the option of opting in from South Africa, you are able to have full access to the world of anime and manga for only R49 per month.
That being said, here is a list of the Top Five anime titles currently showing on Crunchyroll.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba

It is the Taisho Period in Japan. Tanjiro, a kind-hearted boy who sells charcoal for a living, finds his family slaughtered by a demon. To make matters worse, his younger sister Nezuko, the sole survivor, has been transformed into a demon herself. Though devastated by this grim reality, Tanjiro resolves to become a “demon slayer” so that he can turn his sister back into a human, and kill the demon that massacred his family.
Topping my list as one of my favourite anime series, Demon Slayer is non-stop action all the way.
Jujutsu Kaisen

Yuji Itadori is a boy with tremendous physical strength, though he lives a completely ordinary high school life. One day, to save a classmate who has been attacked by curses, he eats the finger of Ryomen Sukuna, taking the curse into his own soul. From then on, he shares one body with Ryomen Sukuna. Guided by the most powerful of sorcerers, Satoru Gojo, Itadori is admitted to Tokyo Jujutsu High School, an organization that fights the curses… and thus begins the heroic tale of a boy who became a curse to exorcize a curse, a life from which he could never turn back.
If you scroll TikTok as much as I do, you will be familiar with the edits of Gojo and boy, does it make me want to watch this, even more, each and every time!
Hell’s Paradise:Jigokuraku

Gabimaru reigns as the strongest and most ruthless assassin in his village. But now finds himself on death row—with only one way out: retrieve the Elixir of Life from a sinister island. Longing for freedom, he accepts the challenge. But with fellow convicts vying for the same prize and demonic beasts lurking, how will Gabimaru survive this harrowing quest?
Based on the manga of a similar title this one is packed with action, colourful scenes and some hard-hitting episodes, it will keep you wanting more.
One Piece

Monkey. D. Luffy refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of his quest to become the king of all pirates. With a course charted for the treacherous waters of the Grand Line and beyond, this is one captain who’ll never give up until he’s claimed the greatest treasure on Earth: the Legendary One Piece!
Whether you love it or hate it, One Piece is a masterful work with a very different art style. With a long-running series like this one, you learn to love each character and watch them grow. With laughs and feels to boot!
Mashle: Magic & Muscles

This is a world of magic. This is a world in which magic is casually used by everyone.
In a deep, dark forest in this world of magic, there is a boy who is single-mindedly working out.
His name is Mash Burnedead, and he has a secret. He can’t use magic. All he wanted was to live a quiet life with his family, but people suddenly start trying to kill him one day and he somehow finds himself enrolled in Magic School.
There, he sets his sights on becoming a “Divine Visionary,” the elite of the elite. Will his ripped muscles work against the best and brightest of the wizarding world? The curtain rises on this off-kilter magical fantasy in which the power of being jacked crushes any spell!
New to my list, this one is a bit like Harry Potter with more comedy, adding it to my watch list!
What will you be watching this weekend?
