Pluto TV Expands Anime Lineup With New Channels, English Dubs

Pluto TV is expanding its anime offerings this month with two new channels, more than 1,300 hours of programming and exclusive English-language dubs of several popular series.

The free streaming service will debut English dubs of One-Punch Man and Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, which Pluto TV says will be available exclusively on the platform among free streaming services.

Pluto TV also is adding English dubs to several anime already available on the service, including Naruto, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead and Captain Tsubasa. Additional dubbed titles being added include Inuyashiki: Last Hero, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Terror in Resonance, Mononoke, Vampire Knight and Hikaru no Go.

The expansion will include two new linear channels. “It’s Anime” will feature English-dubbed series and simulcasts from Japan, while “Big A Anime” will mix anime series and films with event specials and fan-focused programming. Its lineup will include Vinland Saga, Dororo and titles from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress franchise.

According to Pluto TV, anime viewers spend nearly three times as many hours on the service as its average viewer, underscoring the company’s growing focus on the genre.

The new channels and dubbed programming will bring Pluto TV’s anime library to more than 1,300 hours, spanning a range of established franchises and newer titles.
