Catch up on the entire ‘Alien’ franchise on Hulu before seeing the new ‘Alien: Romulus’ movie in theaters. Here are the best Hulu streaming deals.

A new film in the Alien franchise has arrived in theaters. That means it’s time to catch up on the collection of films that came before it. Sci-fi movie marathon, anyone?

Unlike many other film franchises, all of the Alien films are currently housed in one place in the streaming-verse. It’s a modern-day miracle, truly. Here are all the juicy details you need to know to watch every film online (and in order!) before you head to the theaters to see Alien: Romulus.

How many Alien movies are there?

There are seven films in the classic Alien franchise, including the new release, Alien: Romulus. Prior films include Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992), Alien: Resurrection (1997),  Prometheus (2012), and Alien: Covenant (2017). There are also two crossover films to add to your binge if you really want to complete the saga: AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007).

How to watch the Alien films in order

Like any good franchise, the official release order of the films differs from the actual narrative. The order you watch the films is completely up to you. If you want to simply watch the films in release order, it would go like this:

Alien (1979)

Aliens (1986)

Alien 3 (1992)

Alien Resurrection (1997)

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

Prometheus (2012)

Alien: Covenant (2017)

Alien: Romulus (2024)

If you’re more into the timeline jumps and lore of it all, you’ll probably want to watch the films in chronological order. Romulus takes place somewhere in the 57-year gap between Alien and Aliens, so you’ll have to head to the theater midway through your streaming session if you want to do it correctly. Story-wise, your marathon would go something like this:

AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

Prometheus (2012)

Alien: Covenant (2017)

Alien (1979)

Alien: Romulus (2024)

Aliens (1986)

Alien 3 (1992)

Alien Resurrection (1997)

1. Damsel

Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown) accepts her impending arranged marriage with a sense of duty. After all, her starving people need the riches her new family will provide. But she starts to get her hopes up when she meets the handsome prince (Nick Robinson). Unfortunately, the prince’s family has a dark secret, one for which they intend to sacrifice Elodie’s life. Damsel is not your average fairy tale. It’s an action-packed adventure about survival… and vengeance.

How to watch: Damsel is now streaming on Netflix.

2. Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil

If you love Pan’s Labyrinth, then you’ll enjoy this fantasy period piece, which pitches a plucky young heroine into a world of war-ravaged men and manipulative monsters.

Co-written and directed by Paul Urkijo Alijo, Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil begins in 1835, when the First Carlist War plagued Basque Country, Spain. There, a blacksmith makes a deal with a devil, which will have a wicked impact on his village and the life of one brave little girl (Uma Bracaglia) on a quest for answers about her dearly departed mother. Folding folklore and religious horror in with a cheeky sense of humor and dark thread of adventure, this fascinating film takes audiences to hell and back. Literally! — Kristy Puchko, Film Editor

How to watch: Errementari: The Blacksmith and the Devil is now streaming on Netflix.

3. Okja

If you ever dreamed of being besties with a fantastical beast, then you’ll relish every step of this buddy adventure from Bong Joon Ho. With Okja, the internationally acclaimed South Korean writer/director spun a story about a big and lovable “super pig” named Okja and the farm girl who’d do anything to save it from slaughter. Along the way, this adorable duo will meet zealous animal-rights activists, an unnervingly energetic TV personality (Jake Gyllenhaal), and an elegant entrepreneur (Tilda Swinton) whose good intentions are as false as her smiles. Racing through fertile jungles, crowded shopping malls, and the bustling metropolis of New York City, Okja is a wild ride that brings fantasy into reality. — K.P.

How to watch: Okja is now streaming on Netflix.

4. Nightbooks 

From David Yarovesky, the director of Brightburn, comes a spooky tale that’ll thrill on family night.

Based on the horror-fantasy novel of the same name by J. A. White, Nightbooks centers on a Brooklyn bookworm (Winslow Fegley) who is kidnapped by a wicked witch (Krysten Ritter). Held captive in her magical apartment, he’s forced to tell her a new scary story each night in exchange for his survival. Thankfully, he’s not alone. A hard-nosed fellow prisoner (Lidya Jewett) not only helps him avoid the pitfalls of this precarious prison, but also helps him unlock the secrets that could get them both out!

Peppered with PG-level scares and plenty of style (we’d die for Ritter’s witch wardrobe), Nightbooks is a rollicking good time for kiddos (and grown-ups) who appreciate a good bump in the night. — K.P.

How to watch: Nightbooks is now streaming on Netflix.

5. Over the Moon

Pining for a fantasy adventure threaded with fantastic songs? Then, you’ll revel in the animated musical Over The Moon.

After decades of working in Disney animation, Glen Keane takes the helm in his directorial debut, which is inspired by the Chinese legend of Chang’e, the goddess of the moon. When a 13-year-old girl (Cathy Ang) decides a DIY rocket will jettison her not only to their celestial deity but also to a better life, she discovers happiness is much closer than she could have dreamed. In addition to pop jams and  plenty of charismatic characters — among them a star-bright pangolin — this Netflix Original boasts a star-studded voice cast, including Sandra Oh, Kimiko Glenn, Phillipa Soo, John Cho, Margaret Cho, and Ken Jeong. — K.P.

How to watch: Over the Moon is now streaming on Netflix.

6. Vampires vs. the Bronx

Want a movie that’s got excitement, comedy, a scorching message about the evils of gentrification, and is a kid-friendly fantasy romp? Then take a bite out of Vampires vs. the Bronx.

Oz Perkins’ PG-13 horror-comedy centers on Afro-Latino teens, who recognize that a flurry of missing person posters and influx of rich white folks with tote bags means bad news for the neighborhood. Together, they team up Monster Squad-style to take down the bloodsuckers and save their community. With a sharp wit, a warm heart, a rich sense of atmosphere, and an equal appreciation for the Blade movies and ’80s Amblin, Vampires vs. the Bronx is an easy watch (just 85 minutes!) full of rewards.* — K.P.

How to watch: Vampires vs. the Bronx is now streaming on Netflix.

7. Suzume

Suzume is hard to describe. Within the first 15 minutes of the movie, teenage Suzume meets a handsome stranger, discovers a mysterious free-standing door to an ethereal plane she can’t access, picks up a rock that turns into a talking cat, and unknowingly sets off a series of events that threaten to devastate Japan under a cataclysmic earthquake. And that’s just how the movie begins!

Makoto Shinkai’s emotional and optimistic adventure is a beautiful story that gives physical stakes to personal introspection. The animation, like his other films (Your Name, 5 Centimeters per Second, and The Garden of Words), is characteristically stunning, and the story is unlike any you’ve ever seen. Suzume might be the only movie in existence where a three-legged stool will make you cry. — K.G.

How to watch: Suzume is now streaming on Netflix.

8. The Old Guard

For fantasy with a superhero flare, check out this action-packed thriller from critically cheered director Gina Prince-Bythewood.

Charlize Theron stars as Andy, the leader of a covert band of almost-immortal mercenaries. For centuries, they have fought together to save humanity from ruin. However, as a new member is added to the team (a mesmerizing Kiki Layne), this old guard tangles with a threat that could tear them to shreds for good. Adapted from Greg Rucka’s graphic novel of the same name.

The Old Guard brings a sharp edge and an R-rating to the glossy and bloodless superhero standard. The sprawling and graphic fight scenes hit hard, but the incredible ensemble, which includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Marwan Kenzari, Luca Marinelli, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, hits harder. Together they bring a sophisticated pathos that doesn’t tend to fit with the flashy capes crowd. — K.P.

How to watch: The Old Guard is now streaming on Netflix.

9. Bleach

Few things are as fantastical and fun as a Manga made live-action. Based on the popular Japanese comic by Tite Kubo, Bleach follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a moody teen who turns into a Soul Reaper through a twist of face and brave sacrifice. By day, he must endure all the drama inherent in high school. By night, he—with the help of his pestering mentor Rukia Kuchiki—must guide good ghosts to their peaceful afterlife and battle back sinister spirits. Director Shinsuke Sato brings an anime-like verve to the film, employing zipping graphics, a lively soundtrack, a bouncy tone, a barrage of frightful foes, and kick-ass martial arts action. Stars Sôta Fukushi and Hana Sugisaki are totally in tune, delivering performances that pop with personality. — K.P.

How to watch: Bleach is now streaming on Netflix.

10. Orion and the Dark

Eleven-year-old Orion (Jacob Tremblay) is afraid of everything: bees, bullies, bears, you name it. But what keeps him up at night is his deepest fear, the biggest and baddest of them all: the dark. All that is about to change when The Dark (Paul Walter Hauser) decides to pay Orion a visit and prove that he’s not so scary after all. 

Orion and the Dark is a lovely, moving, and fun family adventure that’s smarter and more introspective than a whole heck of a lot of grown-up movies. That’s because this charmer was written by Charlie Kaufman, the Hollywood veteran behind existential favorites like Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I’m Thinking of Ending Things. While Orion and the Dark is a much lighter and kid-friendly film than Kaufman’s most iconic work, its subject matter is no less weighty and its message no less affecting. A winner for all ages! — K.G.

How to watch: Orion and the Dark is now streaming on Netflix.

11. Matilda the Musical

You know this story: Matilda, a kind, isolated kid with newly discovered powers of telekinesis, finds herself enrolled at a horrible school run by the detestable Miss Trunchbull. Trunchbull abuses and humiliates her students, and Matilda uses her powers to try to change things for her and her peers. 

It’s a beloved Roald Dahl children’s book that was adapted into the hit 1996 film, then a successful stage musical, and finally, a 2022 movie based on the musical. And yes, it is just as lively and lovable as its predecessors! Matilda has high energy choreography, fantastic performances (Emma Thompson as a truly repulsive Trunchbull is a stand-out), and a score you won’t be able to stop singing. — K.G. 

How to watch: Matilda the Musical is now streaming on Netflix.

12. Nimona

Nimona transports us to a futuristic medieval world where knight Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed) is on the run for a crime he did not commit. However, it’s his label as a “villain” that brings shapeshifter Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz) into his life. More comfortable as a shark than a human girl, Nimona is a delightfully deviant fiend who wants nothing more than to stick it to the all-powerful Institute. She and Ballister make quite the odd pair — she wants to wreak havoc, he just wants to clear his name — but together, they may just defeat an evil lurking in their kingdom.

Between some electrifying fight scenes and its graphic animation style, Nimona is a blast of a viewing experience. But its message and LGBTQ visibility is what truly sets it apart. Not only is Ballister’s relationship with knight Ambrosius Goldenloin (Eugene Lee Yang) a key element of the film, but Nimona’s own fluidity and negotiation of her identity calls to mind transness in a meaningful, important way.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

How to watch: Nimona is now streaming on Netflix.

13. The Imaginary

The Imaginary was written by Yoshiaki Nishimura and directed by Yoshiyuki Momose, both formerly of Studio Ghibli, so you know it’s going to be visually stunning, fantastical, and full of feelings. 

When Rudger, an imaginary friend, is separated from his creator Amanda, he must enlist help from other imaginaries to find his way back home. But the journey is nothing but simple — lurking in the shadows is the inescapable, existential dread of being forgotten, as well as the very present threat of Mr. Bunting, a despicable man who consumes imagined beings. The Imaginary is both whimsical and dark in equal measure, elegantly tackling big subjects like death and loss alongside lighter themes, like the importance of play. — K.G.

How to watch: The Imaginary is now streaming on Netflix.

14. Troll

Inspired by Norwegian folklore, 2022’s Troll is a monster movie that feels both fresh and familiar. We’ve got an enormous creature wreaking havoc, a unique mythology, and satisfying spectacles — there’s something for everyone!  

When a drilling operation results in the deaths of multiple workers, Norwegian scientists blame a pocket of methane. Young Nora (Ine Marie Wilmann), however, suspects something bigger and more sinister: a troll.  Fortunately for Nora, when a 300-foot behemoth emerges from the mountains, she’s proved correct! Unfortunately for Norway, the troll is pissed, and it’s headed straight for Oslo. — K.G.

How to watch: Troll is now streaming on Netflix.

15. The Sea Beast

In a world where oceans are terrorized by massive and ferocious beasts, no sailors are more famed for their monster-killing exploits than the crew of the Inevitable. And no one is a bigger fan of the beast hunters than young orphan Maisie Brumble, who stows away on the Inevitable to become a hunter herself. But when she and crewmember Jacob Holland are thrown overboard and swallowed by the mightiest monster of them all, the Red Bluster, they’re forced to consider a less violent approach, perhaps even working with the beasts, to get themselves to safety. A thrilling, kid-friendly adventure with a top-notch voice cast (Karl Urban, Jared Harris, and more), The Sea Beast is a swashbuckling — and heartwarming — trip across the high seas. — K.G.

How to watch: The Sea Beast is now streaming on Netflix.

16. Wendell and Wild

Written by Jordan Peele and directed by Henry Selick (Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas), Wendell and Wild has all the makings of a new classic. Featuring the beautiful and macabre stop-motion animation reminiscent of Selick’s past masterpieces, this latest installment adds a touch of teen angst to his ghoulish canon. Kat (Lyric Ross) is a hardened foster kid who blames herself for her parents’ death. So when two bombastic demons (played with glee by Key and Peele themselves) promise they know how to bring her parents back, she puts her fears aside and makes a deal. 

How to watch: Wendell and Wild is now streaming on Netflix.

17. Mary and the Witch’s Flower

Mary is an eager young girl with bright red hair who can’t seem to get anything right. When a friendly cat leads her to a mysterious flower that grants her temporary magical powers, Mary discovers a hidden world of adventure where all is not as it seems. Mary and the Witch’s Flower is an exuberant, lovable story from Hiromasa Yonebayashi, a former Studio Ghibli animator. Brimming with heart and excitement, this beautifully animated film whose English dub features the voice talents of Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent, will soon become a family favorite.* — K.G.

How to watch: Mary and the Witch’s Flower is streaming on Netflix.

18. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

Arch, quirky, and highly choreographed, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is a story within a story within a story, and so on. Based on the short by Roald Dahl, the movie opens with Dahl himself (Ralph Fiennes) introducing and then narrating the story of a man, Henry Sugar, who does nothing with his money but gamble. Sugar (Benedict Cumberbatch) takes over the narration to tell of the moment he first learned of a doctor who met a man who could see without using his eyes. Within that story is the tale of how this man met a guru who taught him everything he knows. This story-Russian-nesting-doll affects Sugar profoundly; he abruptly changes the course of his life. If you like Wes Anderson, then you’ll love this sweet and stylized short film.* — K.G.

How to watch: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is now streaming on Netflix.

19. Hilda and the Mountain King

In the excellent Netflix series Hilda, a young blue-haired girl (voiced by Bella Ramsey) moves with her mother to the city of Trolberg, a hamlet plagued by angry trolls who attack any who venture outside of the city walls at night. At the start of the 2021 film Hilda and the Mountain King, Hilda has been transformed into a troll herself, lost in a massive cave and unable to tolerate sunlight — but luckily, she can also understand everything the other trolls are saying. Perhaps she might be able to learn something about why they keep attacking the city while she’s trying to escape. 

With the trademark animation and emotional grounding of the series, Hilda and the Mountain King is a dark, exciting, and philosophical kids’ flick that will easily enthrall any adults in the room. — K.G.

How to watch: Hilda and the Mountain King is now streaming on Netflix.

20. The Lego Movie

Emmet (Chris Pratt) is an ordinary Lego citizen of Bricksburg. He’s friendly, follows the rules, and always adheres to the Lego building instructions. But a chance encounter with a mysterious Lego (Elizabeth Banks) and a mythical item called the Piece of Resistance, sends him on an adventure that will break through both the boundaries of his city and his entire understanding of what Legos are capable of. 

The Lego Movie is a smart, fast-paced, and hilarious ride that packs a surprisingly potent emotional punch for a movie about plastic figurines. The cast (Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman) is at the top of their game, and the visuals are a never-ending treat. It’s a smash-hit for a reason!* — K.G.

Channing Tatum. Naomi Ackie. And spoilers for Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, “Blink Twice.”

Blink Twice is a thriller so rich with twists and clues you ought to see it twice. Sure, it begins like a dream: A cocktail waitress named Frida (I Wanna Dance With Somebody‘s Naomi Ackie) gets swept away to the private island of a debonair tech billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum). But beyond bountiful brunches and endless streams of champagne and plumes of pot smoke, something sinister slinks in the shadows of this seeming paradise. 

If you’ve seen Blink Twice and found your head spinning, we’re here with the medicinal venom to set your mind straight. Let’s dig into Zoë Kravitz’s sensationally twisted thriller one burning question at a time. 

As we delve into Blink Twice‘s ending, we’ll be getting into spoilers. Consider yourself warned. 

What does “red rabbit” mean? 

“Red rabbit” is first spoken by an unnamed maid who spooks Frida while she’s getting settled in her guest room. She later runs into the woman again, in a grubby prep area that adjoins the glossy gift bag room. (Perhaps this drastic aesthetic shift is another hint that under the glitz is something grim.)  

“Red rabbit!” The older woman says over and over to Frida, leaving the heroine bewildered. But once she takes a sip of the eyelash viper venom offered by this savior of few words, Frida will remember what “red rabbit” refers to: It’s the animal (or “an-nail-mals”) that adorned her fingernails the year before, when she first came to the island. 

Ahead of her meet-cute with Slater at the King-Tech Gala, there are clues she’s met him before. Her boss chides her for getting too “chatty” last year, and she defends herself by noting Slater talked to her first! It seems her roommate/co-worker Jess (Alia Shawkat) also knows about this encounter, as she conspires with Frida to help her reconnect with her celebrity crush, bringing the bag with the two glamorous cocktail dresses to change into, ditching their cater-waiter uniforms. 

Flashbacks reveal Frida and Slater’s interaction was more than a flirtation at a party. She’d been to the island before and forgotten. The abandoned lip gloss she finds in the bathroom drawer is hers; she’d left it there last year, back when her DIY nail art featured 10 little red rabbits, leaping across her fingers. 

How did Frida get her scar? 

Flashbacks reveal that during her first trip to Slater’s island, she was knocked down and hit her head on a rock. At that time, one of the men even scoffs, “That’ll leave a mark.” But Frida will leave one too. 

What happened to Vic’s finger? 

Rewatching Blink Twice you might notice that Vic (Christian Slater), Slater’s “right and left-hand man,” doesn’t like Frida. He antagonizes her with pointed remarks over cocktails. When she says she has a good memory, he raises an eyebrow and insists she looks familiar, asking if they’ve met before. 

He takes this risky joke at her expense a step further when Slater’s therapist Dr. Rich (Kyle MacLachlan) comes to visit. He asks if the two have met, and Frida chirps they had, at the gala. Rich looks surprised, not because he doesn’t remember her but because the assaults against her are ongoing; he witnessed one himself the previous night. Rich is stunned that the perfume means Frida remembers nothing of the trauma she’s endured on the island.

Vic uses this exchange to prove the power of the perfume, but he also relishes the power it gives him over Frida. She doesn’t remember what’s come before, but she can’t keep her eyes off the nub of his amputated pinky finger. He catches her staring in the sauna, and stares back hard. Flashbacks explain his animosity and her connection to that missing digit. In the climactic showdown, Vic lies bleeding and likely paralyzed from Heather’s vengeance, and Slater reveals to Frida it was she who bit off Vic’s finger last year during her “vacation” here. She may have forgot, but Vic sure as hell didn’t. 

What happened to Jess? 

The first to die in this mind-bending thriller, Jess got wise to Slater’s scheme after being bit by the indigenous viper, as we see in a flashback.

Frida realizes the perfume Slater gave her — and all the female guests — is not only from a flower native to the island, it’s also a memory-erasing drug. Essentially, l’eau du roofie! But in the gift bag hut, the maid gives Frida the venom of the eyelash viper, which serves as an antidote to the forgetfulness that’s caused by breathing in the perfume.

Jess’s death, however, implies the venom isn’t just a quick fix. Once you remember, you remember for good. Otherwise, Slater and his bros could have doped her again. Instead, in a flashback, Frida remembers him noting Jess’s bite, then fatally breaking her neck. 

“Forgetting is a gift.” 

Frida says this to Slater early on in their (second) island courtship. But as others repeat the phrase  — like his assistant Stacy — it’s hinted this is a Slater catchphrase that some part of Frida remembers. Another element that slips past the perfume potion is the lizard. Blink Twice‘s opening shot is a bright green lizard on a rock, which stares at the camera lens while distorted sounds roar in the background. Then, the film cuts to a cute little green lizard painted as nail art being posted to Frida’s Instagram grid. This shows some part of her remembers her first trip to the island.

Talking with Slater, Frida notes she wishes she could forget the trauma of her past, and Slater smiles, adding he has forgotten “everything before I was 10.” 

In the climax, the tech billionaire brings up his sister, saying she’s miserable and she can’t understand why he can play tennis with “that man” after what he did to the siblings. Implied is that their father abused them horrendously, but Slater thinks that because he doesn’t remember anything, the abuse doesn’t affect him. However, this flimsy rationalization is what he uses to abuse others. If forgetting allows them to be happy, what’s the harm of hurting them if you make them forget? Frida shows him the harm. 

Why did Slater stop his rampage? 

In the film’s climax, Frida looks on, seemingly helpless, as Slater holds a knife to the neck of Sarah (Adria Arjona). Once rivals for his attention, the two women trauma-bonded over the horrors of this island. Frida begs for Sarah’s life — but she’s stalling. While Slater wrestles Sarah to the ground, Frida gets her hands free, thanks to quick thinking and broken glass, then pours Slater’s proprietary potion of forgetfulness into his trusty vape. So, after taking a few hits while threatening Sarah, he forgets his scheme, the knife, and why there’s a pile of bodies around him. Shocked, he slips and falls. In a bit of symmetry, he cracks his head on a stone table, and earns a forehead scar of his own, just like Frida. 

“Success is the best revenge.” 

While primping for the gala at the beginning of the movie, Frida shares this adage with Jess, crediting it to her long-lost mother. The film’s final sequence sees this line pay off big, at the next annual King-Tech gala. 

This time, Frida isn’t serving drinks; she’s serving as CEO of the company as Mrs. Frida King. Slater — with his forehead scar and his trusty vape filled with forgetting potion — is less her partner and more her pleasant puppet. She can even goad him into giving up his vegetarianism for a thick steak now. His plans to spread the perfume seem to have been squashed, as she has security lead the nefarious Dr. Rich away from her husband. Then, Frida accepts the praise of the dinner party, who raise their glasses to her. All the while, the funky song Frida listened to on her headphones on her way to work the last gala plays over the events. It is, quite fittingly, James Brown’s “The Payback.”   

Could there be a Blink Twice sequel?

While the story feels pretty self-contained, there’s a curious thread left dangling. What of Slater’s sister? The way Slater talks about her — even avoiding the use of her name — suggests they are estranged. But could the news of him turning over a new leaf and getting a new wife bring her back into his life? What would that mean for Frida? Could exposure to his sister resurface dark memories from his past? Could this sister come to question his reliance on his vape and throw Frida’s safety into question? 

Or, consider the bigger picture. Sarah and Frida know the truth of the island, and they have some idea of how its dastardly perfume has reached out to the wider world through gifts to vile men. Will they seek to bring the others down? Or perhaps vice versa? When memory isn’t guaranteed and money is no object, Blink Twice 2 could go even wilder. 

Blink Twice is now in theaters.

The best anime series now streaming on Hulu: A list including “One Piece,” “Attack on Titan,” and “One-Punch Man.”

Looking to get lost in a postapocalyptic world of oversexed teenage superheroes who wield emotions as heightened as their spiky hairdos? Sounds like you want to watch yourself some anime. The Japanese word for “animation” is really so broad in meaning that it covers multiple genres and styles — anime can be deeply somber, it can be utterly terrifying, or it can be total goofballs. Heck, sometimes it’s all of these things in the span of a single scene. But as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart infamously said about pornography in 1964, we know it when we see it. And we know the best ones when we see them even more so.

Here are the 10 best anime series currently streaming on Hulu.

1. Cowboy Bebop

The legendary Cowboy Bebop ran for two seasons and 26 episodes back in 1998, and tells the story of the space cowboy Spike Spiegel and his merry band of bounty-hunter outlaws aboard the spaceship Bebop. The year is 2071 and Earth is uninhabitable — humanity now lives on moons and space-rocks where lawlessness pervades, which… well, if I had to live on a space-rock, I’d probably turn to a life of crime, too. Not a lot of lifestyle choices on a space-rock! The series follows Spike and his team as they hunt down different criminals each episode to earn their bounty, with the big bad of Spike’s ex-bestie, Vicious, lurking about doing his own damage until their inevitable big showdown. One of the most beloved anime series ever made, Netflix live-actioned it in 2021 with John Cho in the lead, to little acclaim. Just watch the classic!

2. One-Punch Man

It’s the same problem that plagues Superman movies — if your superhero is too superpowered, finding somebody for them to fight that’s an actual challenge becomes an issue. For Saitama, the lead hero of One-Punch Man, it’s all right there in the title: He can obliterate anybody with a single punch. So where do you go from there? Smartly, the manga artist called ONE who created this series put this problem right at the center of it. Basically Saitama is just bored most of the time, and the series gets a lot of humor out of that. But it also leads Saitama to seek out bigger and bigger duels, needing that sweet real challenge high, until he’s literally fighting “God.” Talk about an overachiever.

3. Sonny Boy

Written and directed by Shingo Natsume (who also worked on One-Punch Man), Sonny Boy tells the story of a student named Nagara who finds himself and his entire school class suddenly and inexplicably transported to a different dimension. As the students try to figure out not just what happened to them but also the strange rules of this new world — where physics itself works differently — they discover they have all gained different superpowers as well. The fascinating thing about how Sonny Boy handles all of this, though, is that the focus remains on the young people’s relationships. The big action happenings are usually skipped right over, and we watch how they deal with the aftermath instead. Naturally, they start forming cliques and rivalries in what reveals itself to be an excellent metaphor for everybody’s isolating and strange high school experience.

4. Yu-Gi-Oh!

One of the better-known stateside mangas thanks to its aughts-era Saturday morning airings and the tremendously successful card game that goes along with it, Yu-Gi-Oh! tells the story of young Yugi Moto. A picked-on nerd at series’ start, Yugi solves an ancient Egyptian artifact called the “Millenium Puzzle” which has two immediate effects — it possesses him with the spirit of a gambler, and it unleashes the “Shadow Games” upon the world. Caught up in an endless tournament of “Duel Monsters” card battles with various foes (including his main nemesis, a corporate prick named Seto Kaiba), Yugi and his gang of good-natured pals travel around throwing their magical cards down at the bad guys, endlessly one-upping one another with bigger, badder creatures, over and over again. And again. It’s basically the same thing every episode. And let someone who intimately knows via the experience of watching this on Saturday mornings during his early 20s tell you, this is exquisitely mindless hangover television. The epitome of veg-out TV.

5. Assassination Classroom

I think most of us had that one substitute teacher in school who grabbed our attention and made us wonder who the heck this person was and what their story might be. Well, in Assassination Classroom, a 2015 series based off Yusei Matsui’s manga, this fascinating homeroom substitute called Koro-sensei turns out to be, uhh, an enormous space octopus who’s just eaten the moon and is currently threatening to destroy the world. But he somehow also finds the time to befriend the misfits of Class 3E in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and it turns out that Koro-sensei is the best teacher they’ve ever had! So things get complicated when the government tasks the school kids with killing their teacher before he can gobble up Earth. Besides this series, the Assassination Classroom manga has been turned into a video game and two live-action films, but the 22 episodes of this wildly over-the-top anime are really where it’s at.

6. Attack on Titan

Running for four seasons spread out across a decade, Attack on Titan was a massive success both in its native country and in the U.S., where Hulu actually premiered episodes during its last season at the same time they aired in Japan. It finished its run last year, so you can binge all 94 episodes of the series, which is set (where else) in a post-apocalyptic future. This specific post-apocalyptic future is due to the Titans, a race of evil giant humanoid creatures that have wreaked total destruction across the globe. That brings us to our lead character, Eren Jaeger, who watched his mother get gobbled up by one, only to later discover he has the ability to transform into a Titan himself. Which Eren then uses to get his revenge, one evil giant humanoid creature at a time.

7. My Hero Academia

If you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then you know that the big deal with the character of Xander (Nicholas Brendon) was that he was a powerless regular dude amid a bunch of super-slayers and witch-champions and immortal demons who fought the good fight anyway. His ordinariness was what made him special. My Hero Academia is basically that — Deku is a young boy born without powers in a world where nearly everybody has powers. But he manages to become a hero despite that, lifting himself up by his bootstraps and getting into the big academy for superheroes anyway, winning the more powerful people he meets along the way over through sheer force of can-do attitude. Which is a good thing, because a big League of Super Villains just formed, and it’s comin’ this way!

How to watch: My Hero Academia is now streaming on Hulu.

8. Star Wars: Visions

One of the best received of the current Star Wars spin-off-mania programs we find ourselves buried beneath, Star Wars: Visions succeeds because of its willingness to be different. Different not just for telling stories unrelated to the 40-year Skywalker Saga we’ve all come to know so intimately, but wildly different in tone and execution from episode to episode. The show accomplishes this by having each episode of the anthology tell its own standalone story that’s designed and delivered by an entirely different animation studio. One week you’re watching the Sith-Jedi War get turned into a feudal-era revenge tale from the animators behind JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure; the next, the folks behind the Scott Pilgrim anime are telling the story of a droid who dreams of becoming a Jedi. And at approximately 13 minutes each, none of these outstay their welcome — heck, you’ll probably want spin-offs of their own for several.

9. Undead Unluck

With shades of Pushing Daisies and X-Men‘s Rogue, Undead Unluck (based on Yoshifumi Tozuka’s manga) tells the story of 18-year-old Fuuko Izumo, whose mere presence causes people to drop dead. After an accident leaves hundreds of people (including her own parents) exactly that, Fuuko goes into hiding for years. Ultimately she decides she can’t continue living with this curse and is going to end it all… only to stumble upon her perfect foil, a dude named Andy who’s immortal. 

The two hit it right off and find in each other reason to keep going, but before they can celebrate too much, they find themselves being chased by a shadowy group called The Union that wants to use their powers for mysterious reasons. They propose teaming them up with the other “Negators,” a collection of people who “negate” the rules of the world — you know, little things like life and death. And on the other side of the battlefield? Oh, just God. These anime sure do love to make shit epic, huh?

10. One Piece

If you’d like to set yourself a viewing challenge, tackling One Piece is your ticket — the show premiered in 1999 and now has nearly 1,200 episodes under its belt. That’s 50 percent more episodes than The Simpsons! That said, you should prepare yourself going in that Hulu doesn’t yet have all 20 seasons of the show streaming; they’re up to season 11 at this point. But that’s still hundreds of hours adapting Eiichiro Oda’s manga, so by the time you make it through, they’ll probably have added more. One Piece tells the story of treasure hunter Monkey D. Luffy and his team of Straw Hat Pirates, who’re on the (long, long, long) hunt for the ultimate treasure of the title, which crowns the person that finds it Pirate King. Although at this point, one wonders if they’re very good at their job, to be honest. It’s been 1,200 episodes and you’re still looking. Come on, Monkey, get your act together.

The final week of the NFL preseason sees the Green Bay packers host the Baltimore Ravens, who are both 1-1 in preseason action.

The Ravens are coming off a solid run last season, which saw them take the AFC North top spot and reach the AFC Championship game, losing to the eventual Super Bowl winners, the Kansas City Chiefs. So far in preseason, the Ravens have lost to the Philadelphia Eagles and won against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Packers, meanwhile, also had a positive run in 2023, reaching the divisional round in the playoffs, losing to the 49ers. They took a heavy loss to the Broncos in a disappointing preseason fixture last week, playing a team of non-starters. Will they give fans something a bit more inspiring against the Ravens?
