Enjoy long-running favourites and the newest sensations, all from the world of Japanese animation.
The Elusive Samurai
Hide-and-seek becomes a deadly game of thrones in this historically inspired action comedy from CloverWorks, the studio behind SPY x FAMILY and WIND BREAKER.
Based on the Yūsei Matsui manga of the same name, this anime follows the adventures of eight-year-old Tokiyuki Hōjō, the heir of the Hōjō Clan. When his family is massacred in a coup, our kind and carefree protagonist fights back the only way he knows how: by running away. Instead of possessing superpowers or amazing sword skills, his one great ability is that he’s great at fleeing and evading capture.
He is soon joined by Yorishige Suwa, a clairvoyant priest equal parts sage and buffoon, and several allies who become his ragtag group of slippery, elusive warriors.
The series has garnered praise for its breathtaking fight scenes, colourful characters, and gut-busting comedy that’s often juxtaposed against spine-chilling violence.

Laid-Back Camp
Just like its title suggests, Laid-Back Camp makes for a perfect chill-out binge-watch. A slice-of-life anime series, it follows a group of Japanese high school girls in the Outdoors Activities Club as they travel around Japan to set up camp at picturesque destinations.
Winning hearts with its calming vibe, gorgeous landscapes, and authentically portrayed friendships, Laid-Back Camp has grown so much in popularity that it has even spawned a spin-off mobile game: Laid-Back Camp: All-in-One.
The show’s third and latest season continues to ignite viewers’ sense of wanderlust with its gorgeously animated depictions of real Japanese locales such as Cape Irago and Hatanagi Lake. Just don’t watch Laid-Back Camp with an empty stomach — you’ll feel peckish watching scenes of the girls cooking dishes like Hamburg steak and beef stew, and enjoying foods like yakitori.
Whether you’re following Rin on her solo camping trips or watching the group bond over their camping trips, the series is a gentle reminder to slow down and enjoy the journey.

After returning from Izu, the girls are ready for their next camping trip. Half of them visit the Oi River.
