what is the best free anime streaming site?

As of my last update, some popular free anime streaming sites include:

**Crunchyroll** - Offers a wide selection of anime and has a free tier with ads, although it's more limited compared to the premium subscription.
**Funimation** - Focuses on dubbed anime and also provides a free version with ads.
**Anime-Planet** - Partners with Crunchyroll and offers a variety of anime to watch for free with ads.
**Tubi TV** - Has a selection of anime among its free content, with ads.
**HiDive** - Offers some free content, though it is primarily a subscription service.

Always ensure you're accessing content through legal channels to support the creators. Availability may vary by region, so consider checking local options or subscription services that offer free trials as well.
