The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is making entertainment companies take a step forward to entertain folks while they’re quarantined at home. Some companies like Amazon and Showtime are offering a one-month free trial available for new subscribers.

Other companies are instead opening up their backlog of animation favourites without any pre-made charges whatsoever.

First up: Samurai Jack is completely free to watch right now on the Adult Swim website. No cable subscription needed: just get a VPN ready and you’re good to go.

The 80s action cartoon toy-selling juggernaut G.I Joe series is available on Hasbro’s YouTube page. Yep, you can watch the entire series online legally.

We’ll keep an eye out for other animated shows that are made free to watch without any use of insidious streaming portals that take the illegal route. In the meantime, stay safe!
