Best Anime Kodi Add-On
If you’re an anime fan, Kodi is one of your best options for getting all of your favorite anime in one spot. Instead of splitting your time between different websites, Kodi allows you to gain access to some popular services, as well as addons that scrape from a wide range of anime streaming services. Although there are dozens of great options, we chose to list only the best Kodi anime addons in this article.

4 The Great Debate: Are Anime Streaming Sites Trustworthy? Should You Use Them At All?
Before we Proceed
We highly recommend using a VPN when using Kodi. Kodi users have been known to receive copyright infringement notices for streaming movies, sports, and TV shows through various addons. If you would like to keep your streaming habits private, our recommendation is IPVanish - a complete privacy solution for Kodi users. It's also worth noting that purchasing a 12 month subscription will give you two months free.
Research Methodology
As we stated in the intro, there’s a large number of Anime Kodi addons out there. Many of them cater specifically to anime fans while others have large anime sections. We utilized the following research methods to figure out which ones are the best:
* Online web searches
* Forum searches
* Kodi super repository searches
* Personalized extensive testing
This allowed us to cast a very wide net. Our list reflects a rather rigorous testing process, in which we analyzed addons based on the number of anime offered, the frequency of updates (addons with new season anime took preference), addon organization, stream loading and quality, and of course the option for dubs and subs. Given how many non-Kodi methods exist to watch anime, we tried to give only the addons that offered the best experience and make the effort it takes to download and install the addons worth your time.
We’ve also taken the time to update this guide to remove addons that no longer work. Given the somewhat fluid nature of Kodi addons, many popular anime addons may no longer be on this list since you’ve first visited this page or may disappear if you come back at a later date. You may also find some addons listed here that only existed after we first published the list. Please consider this list a work in progress. If there are any great
Please consider this list a work in progress. If there are any great addons for anime that you believe we missed, please let us know in the comments below.
Best Anime Kodi Addons – Anime Addons That Work
There are a number of things that can hamper a successful anime Kodi addon. Chief among them are broken links and Captchas. For example, the popular addon for KissAnimeused to top our list until the site started using intrusive Captchas that made it difficult to use the addon.
The list below represents addons which both work by providing multiple streaming sources, or mirror sites, and that do no use Captchas or other authentification methods that prevent streaming through Kodi.
Funimation NOW
The good thing about Funimation? You’ll have no qualms or questions about the legality of accessing any of the content. The Funimation addon received a major facelift recently and appears to be about as legit as you’ll get from a Kodi addon. The core developer clearly put a lot of work into this one to make it feel crisp, clean, and functional. You can login to your account through the addon, or watch the freely available anime that Funimation offers without an account.
If you do have a Funimation account, using the Kodi addon makes life a bit simpler, since the menu layout is far easier to navigate than on the website or even the Funimation app. You will be losing a bit of the appeal that comes with the site and the official app, however.
You can easily download the Funimation addon using the official Kodi Addon Repository. Simply do the following:
* Open Kodi
* Go to Addons
* Click on the Package Symbol (top left)
* Click on Install from repository
* Click on Kodi Addon Repository
* Click on Video Addons
* Find and select Funimation and then select Install
The only clear alternative to this addon is Crunchyroll (reviewed below), which is viable, but less consistent.
AnimeGo
Animego is an incredibly well-developed option for anime fans. As the name suggests, the addon is purely anime-focused. Not only will you find a wide and fully-featured menu system for searching through anime, you’ll also find that this addon provides access to a very large amount of anime: over 500 different shows. You’ll also find hundreds of anime movies here. Our random sampling found excellent load times, little buffering, although with some issues related to quality. If you’re not obsessed with HD, you may want to make this a go-to option.
You can find AnimeGo in the SuperRepo Repository. Click here to learn how to install SuperRepo.
With SuperRepo installed, you can find the AnimeGo addon by going to Addons> Package Symbol (top left) > Install from repository > SuperRepo > Video Addons > AnimeGo.
Once you find AnimeGo, click on Install. You’ll find the addon with your other video addons.
