Must-Watch Anime Series of Summer 2023: Find out Where to Stream!

The Summer 2023 anime lineup, which runs from July to September, features a diverse range of over 40 new or returning series. Throughout this season, viewers can expect to stream more than 400 episodes across various platforms such as Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Hulu, and Netflix. While it may not have as many high-profile projects as Spring, Summer still offers an enticing selection of shows, including sequels to popular titles like Jujutsu Kaisen, Mushoku Tensei, Bleach, Horimiya, and Bungo Stray Dogs.

In keeping with tradition, watching every Summer 2023 anime requires subscribing to multiple streaming services. However, it's worth noting that certain shows may not be officially available on Western platforms, making it technically impossible for North American fans to access all the content. Let's now explore the anime lineup for Summer 2023 on each popular streaming service.

The information is accurate as of June 22, 2023.

Crunchyroll Summer 2023 Anime Lineup

Crunchyroll dominates the Summer 2023 anime lineup with an extensive selection, surpassing its competitors by a significant margin. While focusing primarily on new shows, the platform also includes a few well-established favorites. Additionally, Crunchyroll is expected to unveil several more series before the official start of the season.

The start dates are based on Crunchyroll's listed airtimes.

HIDIVE Summer 2023 Anime Lineup

HIDIVE has emerged as a viable alternative to Crunchyroll, although it may not offer the same extensive content library. While its Summer 2023 simulcast lineup is still taking shape, it falls short compared to its relatively strong Spring 2023 lineup. Nonetheless, Dark Gathering and The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior are notable shows in their own right.

The start dates are based on MyAnimeList.

Netflix & Hulu Summer 2023 Lineup

Generally, Hulu and Netflix typically have a limited selection of seasonal anime, making it difficult to solely recommend them based on their lineup. In most cases, their anime offerings are more of a bonus rather than a main selling point. However, Summer 2023 seems to be an exception to this trend. Both platforms have managed to secure a few noteworthy series that are not available on Crunchyroll or HIDIVE.

Summer 2023 Anime With No Streaming Platforms (So Far)

Every season, there are shows that are not announced to be aired in Western regions. There can be several reasons for this, and the exclusion is rarely related to the quality of the show. Currently, there are quite a few Summer 2023 anime that have not yet disclosed their streaming information, although this could change in the upcoming weeks. While it is expected that sequels like Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 and Spy Classroom Season 2 will be aired on the same platforms as their predecessors, there is no guarantee of this.
