Dedicated Dub Hub: Launching the ‘It’s Anime’ Channel
Alongside general platform additions, Pluto TV is launching It’s Anime, a brand-new linear FAST channel specifically dedicated to English-dubbed content.
The dedicated channel will stream an English-dub-focused lineup that blends current series, catalog favorites, and fresh simulcasts from Japan. It launches alongside Big A Anime, another new linear channel spotlighting acclaimed series and films like Vinland Saga, Dororo, and the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress franchise.
“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,” said Will Gurman, Pluto TV’s Senior Vice President of Content Partnerships & Programming.
The English dub expansion officially rolls out across Pluto TV starting in September.
