This Genre-Defining 24-Episode Historical Fantasy Anime Just Became Harder To Watch

As of March 2026, it just got a little harder to actually watch one of the best fantasy anime shows of the past year. Not because the hype cooled off or because Demon Slayercontinues to reign supreme as one of the best of the past decade. But because the easiest part of getting into a show is usually finding it, and right now, that part comes with a catch. In the U.S., the show in question is no longer on Crunchyroll and essentially a HIDIVE-only paywall commitment (per JustWatch) — meaning if you are not already subscribed to this underrated service, you are staring down a trial button and yet another monthly fee before you can even hit Episode 1.
