Ankama Sets Welsh & Shedar Dubs for Free YouTube Run on November 5
Ankama is treating a Tokyo MX late-night series as a simultaneous worldwide release on its own YouTube channel, which puts the French company's distribution pipeline, not a Japanese licensor, in charge of the show's international rollout.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Ankama will stream Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar with English, Japanese, and French dubs and subtitles in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese for free worldwide on its Krosmoz YouTube channel starting November 5. Episode two follows on November 6, with more episodes weekly. The English dub casts Daniel J. McLean and Kevin Garcia, and Marissa Lenti as Zabelle.
The anime began airing on Tokyo MX on October 2 at 9:25 p.m. JST. Studio Massket, with Naoki Horiuchi directing, adapted Tot's original story about a country boy and a prince whose paths cross over a tyrant's conquest plot.
Ankama, the company behind DOFUS, is running the channel itself. The first two episodes arrive back to back, then the schedule becomes weekly. Hironobu Kageyama and Masami Okui perform the opening theme, with Kageyama also handling the ending and an insert song alongside KUKO.
