They are the same.
Some verbs need to be followed by the infinitive 'to...'

Others need to be followed by the gerund '-ing'
http://www.englishpage.com/gerunds/gerund_list.htm
Some can be followed by either one, without a change in meaning - for example your case, 'like -ing' or 'like to...'

And others can be followed by either one, but there is a change in meaning.

They both mean the same thing. I removed the word "an" because it indicates a single anime rather than many.
Use "an" in a sentence like this:
"I would like to watch an anime."
"I wish I could watch an anime."
