Paravi

Paravi is a Japanese online streaming service that aggregates programming from multiple broadcasters and content providers. Launched in 2018 as a joint venture of major Japanese media companies, Paravi focuses on delivering Japanese-language television dramas, variety shows, anime, and films through on-demand viewing and live streams.

The service offers on-demand libraries and live channels from partner networks, with a user interface that provides recommendations, search functions, and offline download capabilities. Paravi operates on a subscription model with tiered plans and occasional promotional access; some content may be exclusive or available for limited windows.

Paravi is accessible on web browsers and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and is supported on select smart TVs and streaming devices. It targets the Japanese market and primarily serves Japanese audiences, though some titles may include subtitles.

Since its launch, Paravi has expanded its catalog through additional partnerships. In the competitive Japanese streaming landscape, Paravi positions itself as a source of domestic content and live programming alongside global services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, U-NEXT, and Hulu.

The platform has faced challenges common to regional streaming services, including licensing costs, catalog breadth, and competition for subscriber attention. Content availability and rights agreements can affect the library in any given period.
