<p><a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Crunchyroll</a> has a big selection and is available in 180+ countries, but quite a few anime can't be watched if you're outside of the US. I recommend installing the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/crunchy-unblocker/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CR-Unblocker add-on</a> to bypass this issue, if you're using Firefox. Otherwise you'd have to use a VPN.
It's free with ads. Has a subscription model that removes ads and allows you to watch episodes that aired for less than a week.</p>
<p>Since you're from Finland, a good alternative is <a href="https://www.wakanim.tv/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wakanim</a>. I haven't used it myself but it's worth looking into.</p>

<p>I've used a popular streaming site for many years and now the Japanese government put a stop to it by taking down the site and pulling all content due to copyright claims.</p>
<p>Are there any legal free/paid anime streaming sites that would work in a similar way to Netflix/Viaplay?</p>

Take note that most of legal streaming sites are geo-blocked due to licensing and rights, so it will depend on where you live.

@AkiTanaka Well, I'm from Finland so I guess I would need some VPN or other way to bypass geo-blocking.
