Crunchyroll announced on July 21 that Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood will begin streaming in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs on Crunchyroll India starting July 27, 2026. The dubbed episodes will be released in batches every three weeks, with the full rollout expected to conclude by October 2026. The voice cast includes Anubhav Rawat as Edward Elric in Hindi, Roshan N as Edward in Tamil, and Sai Abhijith S as Edward in Telugu. Hitanshi Jha voices Alphonse Elric in Hindi, while Nikkilesh P voices Alphonse in both Tamil and Telugu. The regional casts also include performers for Roy Mustang, Winry Rockbell, King Bradley, Riza Hawkeye, Lust, and Alex Louis Armstrong. The series, produced by Bones and directed by Yasuhiro Irie, originally aired from April 2009 to July 2010. The announcement is part of Crunchyroll's broader push to expand regional-language anime content in India, where demand for localized dubs has been growing.
Crunchyroll's rollout plan for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in India involves staggered episode releases: new batches of dubbed episodes will drop every three weeks, with the complete series expected to be available in all three languages by October 2026. The voice cast across the three languages includes multiple performers sharing roles: Nikkilesh P voices Alphonse Elric in both Tamil and Telugu, while the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu casts each have distinct actors for Edward Elric. The series, based on Hiromu Arakawa's manga, was produced by Bones and directed by Yasuhiro Irie, with Hiroshi Onogi handling the script and Akira Senju composing the music. It was conceived as a faithful adaptation of the manga after the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime diverged from the source material. Crunchyroll's announcement follows a pattern of regional-language expansions in India, where the platform has previously released dubs for other major shonen titles.
