I've used a popular streaming site for many years and now the Japanese
government put a stop to it by taking down the site and pulling all content
due to copyright claims.

Are there any legal free/paid anime streaming sites that would work in a
similar way to Netflix/Viaplay?

If you're from SE Asia, try **Muse Asia**. They upload anime on Youtube and
some have subtitles in other languages. It's free and legal.

Here's a direct link to their channel's
[playlist](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbshtvS9t-8CW11W7TooQg/playlists).

Also, check out this meta post for a list of legal sites to stream/watch
anime: [How can I tell if a site is
Legal?](https://anime.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/922/how-can-i-tell-if-
a-site-is-legal)

Update:

I just found out about another Youtube channel. Its called **Ani-One**. It's
also free and legal. Check their playlist
[here](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0wNSTMWIL3qaorLx0jie6A/playlists).

I really like [HIDIVE](https://www.hidive.com/). It's an independent anime
streaming company founded in 2017 that is partnered with Sentai Filmworks to
distribute shows and movies licensed from Sentai.

[Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com) has a big selection and is
available in 180+ countries, but quite a few anime can't be watched if you're
outside of the US. I recommend installing the [CR-Unblocker add-
on](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/crunchy-unblocker/) to
bypass this issue, if you're using Firefox. Otherwise you'd have to use a VPN.
It's free with ads. Has a subscription model that removes ads and allows you
to watch episodes that aired for less than a week.

Since you're from Finland, a good alternative is
[Wakanim](https://www.wakanim.tv/). I haven't used it myself but it's worth
looking into.
