There are a lot of VPNs that claim to be able to unblock leading streaming sites, but the list of providers that can reliably do this job is actually quite short. ExpressVPN is at the top of this list, as it's one of the few VPNs that can bypass the toughest geo-restrictions from around the world.

Japanese Netflix is one of the most difficult libraries to access from outside Japan, but ExpressVPN can handle the task. All you need to do to access all of that anime is sign up to ExpressVPN, connect to a secure VPN server location in Japan, and then log in to your Netflix account. It's that easy.

Besides actually being able to unblock Japanese Netflix, ExpressVPN is one of the best services for streaming due to its fast connection speeds and intuitive app. Plus, ExpressVPN doesn't keep any activity or connection logs, so your data is kept under wraps.

A 15-month subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £75 as of Feb. 14, saving you 49% on list price. This plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can back out with your cash if you're not totally satisfied with the service.

Save 49% and unlock Japanese Netflix with ExpressVPN.
