Netflix anime secret codes
On Netflix, Anime (7424) mostly means Japanese animation. Western cartoons are classified elsewhere, and animation aimed at young children sits under Children & Family (783).
This genre rewards codes because series and feature films are cleanly separated by code, whereas the on-screen rows mix them together.
Series (6721) and features (3063)
Episodic titles are Anime Series (6721); one-and-done titles are Anime Features (3063). When you want a single two-hour watch, 3063 is the one; when you want something to settle into, 6721. The parent code 7424 contains both.
Sub-codes by flavour
Action (2653), Fantasy (11146), Sci-Fi (2729), Comedy (9302), Drama (452) and Horror (10695). Anime catalogues run deep, so the parent code produces a list that never ends — these sub-codes bring it down to a page or two. Animal Tales (5507) mixes animation with live action and is worth a look when choosing something to watch with a child.
Adult Animation (11881) is a separate bucket
Adult Animation is not under Anime (7424). "Adult" here means aimed at adult viewers rather than explicit specifically, so satirical comedy and social drama make up a lot of it. It does contain higher-rated titles, so it is not one to open on a profile a child uses — and on a kids profile the list may look empty, which is the restriction working correctly.
Where children’s animation lives
Animation for young children is not under the anime codes but under Children & Family (783). There used to be age-band codes beneath it — ages 0-2, 2-4 and so on — but **they no longer open.** Netflix appears to have reorganised that grouping; the codes still circulate on external lists, yet entering one now bounces you back to the home screen. To filter by age, use the viewing restrictions on the child’s profile rather than a code.

11881. It covers animation aimed at adult viewers broadly, not only explicit content, and it will not appear on a kids profile.
Which code do I use for cartoons for my child?
