Hidden deep within Netflix's settings lies a feature from the streaming service's past life, that lets you watch movies just recently released in theaters and TV shows that aren't usually available on Netflix -- for an extra cost.
Read on to learn how to get more movies and TV shows from Netflix on DVD. And if you need more great streaming choices, check out the 44 absolute best movies you should be watching on Netflix. If you're more into TV shows, we've got 50 of those you might want to see as well.
Yes, that's right, you can still order DVDs from Netflix. As long as you have a DVD player or a compatible gaming console, you can order DVDs from Netflix to watch movies that are still playing in the theater, like Jurassic Park: Dominion, hard-to-find classics like The Godfather trilogy and TV shows from other streaming services, like Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale.
Before you can order a DVD, you first need to have a paid Netflix subscription, which includes all of the streaming content. The DVD rental option exists only as an add-on to a general Netflix subscription -- you cannot pay for it as a standalone service.
If you already have a Netflix streaming subscription, it's pretty simple to add the DVD plan, although you cannot do it through the Netflix app. Instead, using the web browser of your choice on your computer:
Once you've added the DVD plan, you can create a list of movies and shows, and Netflix will send you the DVDs in the order you've selected. When you're finished with a DVD, place it in a prepaid envelope and drop it in the mail. After Netflix is notified that your old disc is heading back, your next DVD will ship out.
I'm not going to lie, that is pretty daunting, even if the live-action show was your favorite streaming series of last year. That's why the kind folks at Popverse have put together this One Piece anime watch order, to get you through what may be the longest binge of your life in either release or chronological order. Not only will this list include the anime series, but all the animated specials and movies too.
As of June 10, 2024, there are 1,108 episodes of the One Piece anime. Yes, that's amazing! That's on average 44 new episodes a year for the past 25 years and 21 seasons, with the current season - the 'Egghead' arc - going on since January 4. Read our thoughts on all the One Piece anime arcs, ranked.
There are 15 One Piece movies to date, all of which fit into the larger timeline of the One Piece anime franchise. The movies aren't integral to the One Piece anime episodes (and in some ways aren't even canon), but the stories are just as entertaining and build on the personalities and history of the episodes to date.
As one of the most popular anime series of all time, the streaming rights to One Piece are more valuable than pirate treasure. While you can invest in DVDs, it is probably more cost-effective to stream the episodes.
You can find every episode of One Piece in Japanese with English subtitles on Crunchyroll in most regions, with new episodes added within a few days of the original broadcast. Since July 2023, Crunchyroll has also had the English dub of One Piece, but only in select territories. Fans in the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa can watch the dub - everyone else will need to wait a bit longer.
If you don't have a Crunchyroll subscription, you can catch every episode of One Piece on Netflix. Again, this is only available in the subtitled version and will depend on where you live. Fans in the UK will only have the latest episodes starting with One Piece season 21 to stream on Netflix.
In general, One PIece in both anime and live-action form is for a PG-13 audience, with most of the violence skewing cartoonish and the sexual content almost absent save a few jeuvenial jokes. If you want more information on this, though, head to Popverse's One Piece age rating guide.
Need is a strong word here. Many of the One Piece movies are very cool and rank among the highest grossing films in Japanese history. They are certainly worth watching if you are a fan of the anime and want more adventures with Luffy and the Straw Hat crew. However, because they are generally considered non-canon, you can easily get the whole story of One Piece without watching the movies.
Not content with just having their own live-action adaptation, Netflix are teaming up with Studio Wit to produce an adaptation of Oda's manga from the very beginning. Titled The One Piece, this new anime will adapt the early chapters of One Piece while the original anime from Toei is wrapping up the final chapters. However, with the benefit of hindsight and a more humane schedule for its animators, it might be able to fix many of the pacing and quality issues that crop up in the anime's long run.

One Piece stars Monkey D Luffy, a boy whose body became rubbery after eating something special known as a Devil Fruit. With his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy hunts for the world's greatest treasure (known as 'One Piece') to become the next Pirate King. And boy, has that search taken him a while.
Based on Eiichiro Oda's manga of the same name, One Piece has aired continuously since the late '90s, making it one of the most legendary anime shows of all time. And because of that, the series is more complex than you might think.
In total, you could stay up for two weeks straight and still not have time to binge through this entire saga of over 1,000 episodes. And that doesn't even include Netflix's recent One Piece live-action adaptation, let alone the anime reboot The One Piece that they've just announced.
As there are over 1,000 episodes to watch, you might be tempted to jump in at a later starting point, but to really enjoy the full experience properly, we do recommend starting at the very beginning and watching One Piece in chronological order.
All of the specials, films, and OVAs are included in this list for the complete experience. And if it helps, we've divided the franchise into each individual arc and saga, just in case you do decide to skip the start and jump ahead. Also note that everything has been divided into two separate blocks which take place before and after the time skip, right up to the latest movie, One Piece Film: Red.
As much as you might want to watch all of One Piece in its entirety, we appreciate that people need to sleep occasionally. So, if this all feels too daunting, we've also included a list of One Piece filler arcs you could skip without losing sense of the main story. Here's our One Piece filler list:
Alternatively, you could just skip the following filler episodes, instead. While the arcs mentioned above don't add much to the One Piece storyline and canon, they are still entertaining. However, these episodes are slightly different. Anime often use episodes to recap past adventures and give the animators a chance to breathe, so you're not really missing out if these particular episodes don't make it onto your watchlist. Here's a look at the One Piece filler episodes:
If you really want to whizz through One Piece for a taste of what it's like, you could also focus solely on the 15 films that have been released to date. This isn't ideal, though, as a lot happens in the regular episodes between each movie. Still, if that's all you've got time for, here are all the One Piece movies in order of release, as well as how they relate to the main show.
As well as working as a standalone watch, the live-action One Piece is possibly best viewed after watching the first season of the anime. It's an easy way to compare and contrast the changes, as well as backing up the brand new scenes with even more context.
It appears that Netflix have partnered with WIT Studio, the anime company behind the legendary Attack on Titan anime adaptation, to remake the beginning sagas of One Piece, beginning with the 'East Blue' saga which the live-action show similarly began to cover in its first season.
