 You can watch 99% of anime with one subscription, and you can easily switch services. The overwhelming majority of anime worth watching is on Crunchyroll or HIDIVE in the US. Other regions may vary, but usually it's just a single licensor or two licensors per region. There are Netflix and Amazon "exclusive" shows, but these shows will be excluded for the sake of sanity from this discussion. If you already have these streamers, great. If not, no harm no foul.
-Anime is released in Japan weekly, divided into 4 broadcast seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Your average anime season is 12-13 episodes, but things can get fuzzy with multi-season shows and multi-cour seasons. All of the anime I will suggest have already finished broadcast, but you can use a service like [[https://anichart.net/|AniChart]] to see what's airing in each season. In modern times, you can watch shows weekly at the same time they're released in Japan, or very close (e.g., within 1 hour) through the magic of simulcasting. Millions of dollars have been spent from groups like Sony on ensuring that anime is accessible. If you care about a series, you'll figure out how to keep track of it and watch it regularly.

-Each episode is typically 23 minutes, and consists of an opening theme song, a closing theme song, and an eyecatch in the middle where a commercial break would go (sometimes removed in the release versions of each show).
