10 anime which are available in Hindi dub

Anime, a term originating from Japan, refers to the art of animation. It encompasses a diverse range of genres, including action, adventure, comedy, and romance. Recently, anime has gained substantial popularity in India with the emergence of various Hindi-dubbed series and movies. These adaptations have contributed to the growing fanbase of anime enthusiasts in the country.

Anime's popularity has seen a significant rise in recent years in India. This surge can be attributed partly to the emergence of streaming platforms like Netflix and Crunchyroll, enabling easier access to anime content. Moreover, the increasing recognition of anime culture in India owes much to the thriving community fostered by anime conventions and social media groups.

It should also be noted that anime is more than just entertainment because the stories they tell are culturally distinct. This allows the medium to introduce the Indian masses, especially through dubbing, to Japanese customs, beliefs, and philosophy. Crunchyroll gives options for both Hindi dubs and subs for various animes.
