Benefits and ways to enjoy Abema Premium
Once you have registered for the ABEMA Premium Plan, you will be able to watch all premium works. You can also use the video download function, chase playback function, and missed comment function. I will explain each function.
ABEMA Premium Plan 1. Video download function
The video download function is a function that allows you to literally download and watch your favorite videos. By downloading the video data in advance under the Wi-Fi environment, the amount of communication required for viewing can be reduced to almost zero.

■ About download viewing period
You can freely play the downloaded work as many times as you like as long as the following two conditions are met.
・ It is within the viewing period of the program ・ The user's viewing plan is ABEMA PremiumIf either is not satisfied, you will not be able to watch the download. Also, please note that it cannot be saved to an SD card. Downloaded videos can only be viewed within the ABEMA app.
ABEMA Premium Plan 2. Chasing playback function
The chase playback function is a function that allows you to watch a program that has already started broadcasting from the beginning even during broadcasting. You can freely watch from the start of broadcasting to the time of the current broadcasting.
Below are some notes.
・ Programs that are not overlooked and cannot be played afterwards. (Some programs cannot be chased and played even if they are overlooked.)-The playback speed can be changed with the double-speed playback function, and it is possible to catch up with the current broadcasting point. -Currently compatible with Android apps, iOS apps, Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, and PCs.・ Posting comments with the "chasing playback function" is not supported.ABEMA Premium Plan 3. Missed comment function
You can see the comments posted at the time of broadcasting even if you miss them or follow them.
ABEMA has a comment function as one of the functions that terrestrial television broadcasting does not have. You can post comments on time while watching the program. You can see the real voices of other users, so you can feel like you are watching TV together.
If you are using the basic plan for free, you will not be able to see the comments at the time of broadcasting when you watch the program by overlooking. However, if you have registered for the premium plan, you can check the excitement at that time later.
Introducing anime that can be watched for free on Abema
ABEMA has many works that you can enjoy for free. Here are some recommended works for this time of year.
By the way, if you enter the premium plan, you can enjoy more.
Tokyo Revengers
Quote: https://abema.tv/video/title/189-30
Takemichi Hanagaki, a bad part-time jobber at the bottom of his life. He learns that Hinata Hyuga, the only lover in his life who was dating in junior high school, was killed by the worst and worst villainous coalition "Tokyo Revengers". The day after learning of the incident, Takemichi, who was on the platform of the station, was pushed by someone and fell to the railroad track and was prepared to die, but when he opened his eyes, he was time-leaping 12 years ago for some reason. Time leap in middle school 12 years ago, the peak of his life, and start his life revenge to save his lover and change himself as he keeps running away! (C) Ken Wakui / Kodansha / Animation "Tokyo Revengers" Production CommitteeThe original manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine has exceeded the cumulative circulation of 32 million. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the work that is attracting the most attention now. Redo the past to protect your loved ones. How will the heart of the main character, Takemichi, change during the time leap? What kind of impact will the change in the past have on the real world?
Once you start watching it, you will surely be drawn into it because you are worried about the subsequent development.
In addition, so-called "bad" boys such as Yankees and gangsters are greatly involved in the story. The quarrel between fights cannot be praised at all, but the feature of this work is that each character's background, spirit, and determination are carefully depicted.
Maybe you can meet a character that makes you feel emotional.
Please enjoy the magnificent view of the world that is drawn over time to see what kind of fate they will follow in the relationship with the main character, Takemichi.
Kageki Shojo !!
Quote: https://abema.tv/video/title/115-82
Aiming to be a future star, the drama girls who are passionate about the shining stageIt is a story of girls who aim to be stars who are brilliantly active in the "Red Flower Opera Company" modeled on the Takarazuka Revue. Not only those who like to watch the stage, such as the Takarazuka Revue, but also those who do not know much about the world of the stage can easily enjoy it.
At first glance, the world of performing arts is brilliant and elegant, but it is a severe world that cannot survive without its guts and extraordinary efforts. In addition to ability, it is also very important to have the strength of "luck" to attract opportunities. Viewers will be fascinated by stories that can have many unpredictable developments.
The students who entered the school as the 100th gen member of the Honghua Opera Music School have various backgrounds and are rich in individuality. However, only one of them can shine as a top star. I would also like to pay attention to what kind of walls each of them hits and grows in school life.
By learning through "Kageki Shojo !!" the rigor, difficulty, and splendor of making "giving dreams to customers" a living, I think you can enjoy entertainment even more deeply. ..
Life lesss with Uramichi
Quote: https://abema.tv/video/title/115-81
Omoteda Uramichi, the older brother of the gymnastics of the educational program "Maman and Together". The so-called "Uramichi Onii-san" is a gentle older brother who smiles at children. However, the "back" face that I sometimes get a glimpse of. It's tough, spicy, I don't want to do anything. The darkness of adults leaking from unstable mentality makes children feel like they're sick ...!? Still, adults look forward. Even if there is no hope in the world, even if you despair about the structure of society ...! "As an older brother of an educational program, I want to meet that expectation ..." A "backward" life hymn to give to a good adult child. (C) Gaku Kuze / Ichijinsha / "Life Lessons with Uramichi" Production CommitteeIt is a work that makes a habit of the cynical world view that is unfolded based on the educational program for children.
The characters that appear are ostensibly set to be older brothers and older sisters who appear in educational programs for children. I imagine a healthy and cheerful personality both physically and mentally, but in reality, he is also one of the adults who are exhausted by the rough waves of society. Anyway, the negative lines such as "Is there such a thing for children !?" are surreal, and some people may feel a sense of intimacy with strangely persuasive words.
If you feel tired from work or feel murderous, you should be able to enjoy it even more.
It is also worth noting that veteran voice actors such as Hiroshi Kamiya, Nana Mizuki, and Mamoru Miyano are doing their best to play.
Vanitas Note
Quote: https://abema.tv/video/title/26-143
This is the story of the perishing vampires. 19th century France with humans and vampires. Noe, a young vampire, heads to Paris in search of the spellbook "The Case Study of Vanitas," which sprinkles a curse on vampires. Noe encounters an incident in an airship on the way. In the midst of the turmoil, what appeared before Noe was Vanitas, a human who claims to be a vampire specialist. In Vanitas's hand, there is the curse spellbook "Vanitas' Book" that Noe was looking for ...The encounter between the two opens the curtain on the curse and salvation vampire tan- (C) Jun Mochizuki / SQUARE ENIX / "The Case Study of Vanitas" Production CommitteeThis is a must-see for those who like stories with a classical and dark atmosphere, such as 19th century vampires and curses.
Yuki Kajiura is in charge of the music. He has created many songs that deepen the world of original works such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate Series, and Sword Art Online. Even in this work, some disturbing and magnificent music echoes, and it is attractive that it enhances the fantasy feeling.
Also, pay attention to the delicate facial expressions of the characters and the delicate animation drawings.
There is a mysterious depth of darkness in the story, but the interaction of the characters is comical, so I think you can easily enjoy it.
Hozuki's Coolheadedness Phase 1
Quote: https://abema.tv/video/title/115-7yjdnebupe-
A black comedy of the inhabitants of hell This is a story of hell. With the post-war population explosion, the violence of evil spirits, and the flood of dead people in hell, hell suffering from labor shortages was extremely confusing. Meanwhile, on behalf of the warm Enma the Great, there is a shadowy masterpiece who cleans up various problems. His name is Onikari, the first aide of Enma the Great. Every day of the busy but unexpectedly fun hell of the demon lantern who mercilessly blames from the dead to the Enma the Great who skips work is here now!The first period of the TV anime series of manga works by Natsumi Eguchi. The broadcast ended in 2014, but you can watch the full episode of the first period at ABEMA.
A black comedy set in the hell of Japan, it's a work that makes you laugh and have fun. You may be influenced by the world view of the work and think that it is not bad to spend time in hell.
Many famous characters from Japanese folk tales and characters from myths and ghost stories will appear. What I would like you to pay attention to is their "character". It will betray the image in a good way.
It is an anime work that you can enjoy without thinking about difficult things.
