Anime is expanding its anime collection with a new slate of titles, broader English dub access, and two new linear channels, making anime more accessible than ever to a free streaming audience.
The new additions start with more English-dubbed and subtitled versions of series including Inuyashiki: Last Hero and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, as well as One-Punch Man and Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, both available for the first time in free streaming with English dubs. Pluto will also be adding broader dub access to NARUTO, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead and Captain Tsubasa.
Two new channels will be added in September: It’s Anime and Big A Anime. It’s Anime features an English-dub-focused lineup spanning current series, catalog favorites and fresh simulcasts from Japan. Big A Anime features a curated lineup of acclaimed anime series and films, including Vinland Saga, Dororo and titles from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress franchise, alongside fan-focused programming including Anime Showdown and specials from major anime and pop culture events.
“Anime is one of the biggest genres for young audiences today, and it’s only growing,” said Will Gurman, SVP, Content Partnerships & Programming, Pluto TV. “Expanding dub access opens the door for viewers who might not otherwise try anime, while our deeper catalog keeps growing for the fans who’ve been with the genre for years. We’re building a destination that works for this big and growing audience.”
Finally, Pluto is adding over 1,300 hours of Anime programming. New titles with both dubs and subs include:
- Vampire Knight — Day and Night class coexist at Cross Academy, despite the fact the Night Class are all vampires!
- Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress — The action series set in a world overrun by iron-plated monsters.
- Terror in Resonance — The psychological thriller following two young men carrying out a bombing campaign across Tokyo.
- Mononoke — The supernatural horror series known for its distinct visual style and folklore-driven mysteries.
- Hikaru no Go — Hikaru Shindo’s life changes when ancient Go master Fujiwara-no-Sai possesses him.
Those titles join Pluto’s existing Anime collection which includes One Piece, NARUTO, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Hunter x Hunter, Death Note and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
