Sort Netflix by Japanese Language Dubs/Subs

Another way to sort through anime specifically out of Japan is to sort Netflix by language. Netflix recently added a new tab onto the web version, allowing you to sort by a title’s original language.

Here’s the link to sort Netflix by Japanese. However, this will serve up both live-action and animated content from the region. Likewise, there’s no way of sorting which Japanese titles have dubbing or subtitle options.


Finally, two other quick plugs. If you’re in the United States, you can browse 200+ anime titles on Netflix via our Netflix Library A-Z.
