Sort Netflix by Japanese dubs/subtitles

Another way to classify anime specifically outside of Japan is to classify Netflix by language. Netflix recently added a new tab on the web version, allowing you to sort by the original language of a title.

Here is the link to order Netflix by Japanese. However, this will offer live-action and animated content from the region. Similarly, there’s no way to classify which Japanese titles have dubbing or subtitles options.


Finally, two other quick plugs. If you’re in the United States, you can search for over 200 anime titles on Netflix through our Netflix AZ Library.
