It's undeniable that Studio Ghibli has a cult following. Films like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Grave of the Fireflies have warmed the hearts of generations, dating back to the 1980s, and paved the way for Japanese anime content obsessions like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z.

INTERNET SPEED TEST
Is your internet connection fast enough for streaming?
Find out what your current internet plan can handle - and if you could be saving money.What is Netflix?
Netflix was one of the OG streaming services to kick off the pay TV trend in Australia. In March 2015, subscribers signed up in troves, which explains why it's positioned itself as one of the priciest and doesn't offer subscribers either a free trial or an annual subscription plan option.
A whole host of exclusive and original content like The Witcher, Stranger Things, Squid Game, Black Mirror, The Crown, You, The Umbrella Academy and Wednesday have made it indispensable among many Aussie households.
How does Netflix compare?
As discussed, Netflix is one of the more expensive streaming services. While it does now offer a cheaper ad tier, which is priced at $9.99 per month, the jump to experience ad-free content on Netflix is a whopping $11.
