Where to Watch Train to the End of the World in New Zealand

Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Train to the End of the World is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.

Japanese production values give Train to the End of the World a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. In a seemingly ordinary rural town, something strange is happening to the residents. But Shizuru Chikura is more concerned for her missing friend. Determined to find her, Shizuru and three other girls board an abandoned train and travel to the outside world, unsure if they'll make it back alive. Chika Anzai and Azumi Waki lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2024.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. Train to the End of the World respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
