HBO Max has a surprising mix of recent anime hits and unsung gems, along with all the Ghibli you could ask for. Ready for another streaming service? Yeah, no, me either. It's bad!

Currently, a ton of the anime on HBO Max are only viewable with the English dub. The most frustrating was Re:Zero, which switches from Japanese to English between seasons 1 and 2 for some reason. This is rather baffling as all anime have a Japanese (subbed) version, with the English dub coming out a few months later.
The subtitle languages usually include English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, etc. However, not all of them are available for every HBO Max title. The choice of subtitles largely depends on the language of the content you want to watch.
Open the HBO Max app and switch to your profile. Do one of the following: Phone or tablet: Tap the Profile icon (bottom edge on phones, left edge on tablets) and then the Settings icon (upper left). Choose Display Language and then tap the language you want to use.
