Where to Watch Hunter × Hunter in the US

For a simple first check, open Crunchyroll's official series page. It currently starts at episode 1 and lists Japanese audio with English subtitles. If you want a free option, Tubi currently lists a subtitled version with three service seasons. Confirm that your US account exposes the complete sequence before committing to either route.

We checked public official distributor and service records on September 17, 2026. We did not sign in, press play, or test a paid plan. Catalogs, languages, entitlements, and ad-supported availability can change.

Where to watch Hunter × Hunter in the US

The number that matters is 148 story episodes. A platform can split them into three, six, or seven service seasons; duplicate language editions; or package them by arc. Those interface choices do not create more episodes.

For the wider territory and account-check method behind this table, use our legal anime viewing guide.

Use VIZ's 148-episode record as the identity anchor

Search results commonly label the show as 2011, 2014, or 2016. Those dates can refer to the Japanese premiere, a service release, or a localized edition. The durable identity is the Madhouse television adaptation that begins with “Departure × And × Friends” and ends with episode 148.

VIZ's brand record gives the complete count: 148 episodes. Its final home-video volume covers episodes 124–148, confirming that 148 is the endpoint rather than a rounded catalog total.

Use this receipt before starting:

This check also separates the series from the Phantom Rouge and The Last Mission movies. The films are optional related works, not a continuation of the numbered television sequence. Our anime watch-order guide explains the same format-first method for series with films, recaps, and alternate cuts.

Crunchyroll: the clearest public starting point

Crunchyroll's current public page exposes episode 1 and a numbered list. It identifies Japanese audio and subtitles in English, Latin American Spanish, European Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian. That makes it the easiest route to inspect before creating or changing an account.

Do not infer completeness from the presence of episode 1. Scroll or search for episode 148 inside the intended US account, then confirm the Play control. A public catalog page can remain indexed even when a region, plan, or language changes.

Crunchyroll labels the page “Subtitled” in the current public record. If English dub is essential, verify the audio selector inside the account instead of assuming that another country's page or a Prime channel record applies to the US standalone service.

Our anime streaming-service comparison explains why a service subscription and title entitlement are separate checks.

Hulu's 296 items do not mean 296 story episodes

Hulu currently presents Hunter × Hunter as six seasons and 296 episodes. VIZ establishes 148 canonical television episodes. The displayed Hulu total is exactly twice the canonical count, but the public page does not expose enough detail to prove how all 296 items are composed.

Do not call this a 296-episode series or claim that Hulu has an extended version. Treat 296 as Hulu's catalog-item count. Language duplication is a plausible explanation, but it remains an inference until the account view shows the full inventory.

Verify Hulu in six steps:

1. Confirm the page says TV Series and 2011.
2. Choose the intended audio language deliberately.
3. Find episode 1, “Departure × And × Friends.”
4. Follow the story numbering rather than the service-season number.
5. Confirm the sequence reaches episode 148.
6. Require a Play control in the intended US account.

This is the guide's key information gain: it reconciles a confusing current service label with a rights-holder count without guessing about unseen inventory.

Netflix: verify the title record and episode inventory

The official Netflix record is title 70300472. It identifies Hunter X Hunter (2011) as an anime series starring Megumi Han, Mariya Ise, and Keiji Fujiwara. Those details match the 148-episode adaptation.

Netflix's public page does not provide a durable US episode count in the record we inspected. Open the exact title, check for episodes rather than a movie runtime, and require the sequence to reach 148. Also verify audio and subtitles in the intended profile; Netflix catalogs and language menus can vary by country and profile.

If the page lacks episode 148, it is a partial route even when the title itself is correct. Pair it with a complete service rather than assuming every platform divides its seasons the same way.

Tubi: a promising free subtitled route with a completeness check

Tubi's current anime catalog lists Hunter × Hunter (Subbed). The title page identifies three service seasons, TV-14, English subtitles, and episode 1 with a Play control. That is stronger public evidence than an old availability article, but it still does not prove that every US viewer receives all 148 episodes today.

Before using Tubi for a complete watch:

• Confirm the publisher page is the subtitled 2011 series.
• Open the season selector and locate the final service season.
• Require episode 148, not merely a third-season label.
• Check for any missing numbers between the first and last episode.
• Confirm playback in the intended US account.

If the final episode or a middle block is missing, use Tubi as a partial free route and continue elsewhere. “Three seasons” is a service organization, not a completeness guarantee.

Prime Video: read the button before calling it streaming

Prime Video currently exposes several Hunter × Hunter records. One organizes the dubbed edition into seven arc or volume groups and can show a Crunchyroll trial. Another identifies a Japanese-with-English-subtitles version in three seasons and can show a free control. Individual VIZ volumes can also offer episode or season purchases.

These are different access paths inside the same storefront. Read the exact control:

• Free trial usually means a channel subscription begins after the trial unless canceled.
• Watch free can refer to an ad-supported or included version with its own inventory.
• Buy episode or Buy season is a transaction, not subscription streaming.
• More ways to watch can reveal a different provider, language, or edition.

Then check episode 148 on that same version. Do not combine episode 1 from one Prime record with episode 148 from another and call either record complete.

1999 series, 2011 series, and movies: choose the right work

This guide covers the 2011 television adaptation with 148 episodes. A result for the earlier 1999 anime is a different adaptation with a different episode inventory. A feature-film page for Phantom Rouge or The Last Mission is also a different work.

Use three identity questions:

1. Does the record describe the 2011 television anime?
2. Does its episode list begin with “Departure × And × Friends”?
3. Can the same version reach episode 148?

If any answer is no, the result does not provide the complete series covered here. For a related long-series comparison, see our Naruto viewing guide. For a shorter series with service-count duplication, see our Death Note US viewing guide.

Save a 148-episode viewing receipt

Before watching, record the service, country, version, audio, subtitles, first episode, final episode, access type, and date checked. For example:

Crunchyroll; United States; 2011 television series; Japanese audio; English subtitles; episode 1 first; episode 148 visible; account playback checked September 17, 2026.

That small receipt makes future catalog changes easy to diagnose. You can tell whether a service removed a block, switched the selected language, reorganized its seasons, or sent you to a film or alternate adaptation.
