Crunchyroll is your best bet, because they have a ton of dubbed content in Portuguese and the quality is really consistent. They actually invest in Portuguese dubbing, it's not just a copy of the Brazilian dub. The platform is stable, the catalog is huge, and the subscription costs are pretty reasonable.

Netflix also has a good amount of dubbed anime, especially newer and more popular stuff. Sometimes you'll find titles there that aren't available on other sites. It's worth checking if you already have a subscription, because there's always something new.

Then there's MyAnimeList and some smaller sites, but honestly Crunchyroll and Netflix are the most reliable options if you want peace of mind without any risks. A lot of the free sites have virus problems or are always down, so it's really not worth dealing with that 😅

But Netflix is also worth it if you already have a subscription. It has less anime than Crunchyroll, but what it does have comes with decent European Portuguese dubbing. The problem is that Netflix keeps removing shows all the time, so you never know what's going to be available in three months.

One thing a lot of people don't know is that you can check out the trailers and synopses on IMDb or MyAnimeList before you start watching, and you can filter by "Portuguese (Portugal)" in the audio options. That way you don't waste time logging into the platform and finding out the anime only has Brazilian dubbing or none at all. Saves time, trust me.

If you can spare a few more euros, get both subscriptions. Crunchyroll always has promotions every month and you can catch the first subscription for less than five euros. It's nothing special, but it makes a difference when you're looking for a specific anime.

if you want something with a decent volume of Portuguese dubbing, Crunchyroll is still the most consistent option - but there's a detail that other answers kind of glossed over: it really depends on which Portuguese you prefer. European Portuguese dubbing (from Portugal) is less common in anime, most of what gets dubbed is in Brazilian Portuguese. if you're in Portugal and want the local accent, then it gets trickier.

I've tried looking for dubbed anime around here and ended up going with Netflix instead, not because it has more options, but because I already had the subscription anyway. there is some anime, and when there's Portuguese dubbing it's okay, but it's true that the catalog is smaller. if you want quantity and don't care about a Brazilian accent, you can make do with either one. now, if you're specifically looking for decent European Portuguese dubbing, then you'll have to hunt down specific titles on Crunchyroll and forget about the rest.

annoying tip but real: sometimes it's actually worth just watching with subtitles instead, because the quality of the subs is way better than most anime dubs. but I get that not everyone's into that.

A lot of people recommend Crunchyroll and Netflix, but there's a problem that nobody's really pointing out: the dubbed catalog varies a lot depending on your region, and if you want Brazilian Portuguese (which is the most common anyway), sometimes it ends up being pretty limited! The thing is, you can test both for free or with a trial and see which one works better for you, because each platform rotates anime and dubs all the time. There's also some titles scattered across other platforms like Amazon Prime, so it's worth keeping an eye there too if you can't find what you want!

I don't recommend wasting time on pirate sites - the quality is terrible and the ads are a nightmare. I've been using Crunchyroll for a while and it works well - the Portuguese European dub catalog is actually more robust than on other platforms, though sometimes there are random gaps in series you'd expect to find there.
