Pluto TV will add two anime channels in September: It's Anime, for English-dubbed content, and Big A Anime, a curated lineup. The service is adding Vampire Knight, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Terror in Resonance, Mononoke, and Hikaru no Go with dubs and subtitles, expanding dub access to Naruto, Sailor Moon, InuYasha, Zom 100, and Captain Tsubasa, and adding English-dubbed and subbed versions of Inuyashiki Last Hero, One-Punch Man, and KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple.
Pluto TV announced the September additions on Monday. The two new channels split the lineup: It's Anime carries English-dubbed content, while Big A Anime is a curated slate that includes Vinland Saga, Dororo, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress franchise titles, and fan-focused programming. The service said adults aged 18 to 34 account for nearly half of anime viewing hours on Pluto TV, and anime viewers spend nearly three times as many hours on the platform as the rest of the service's audience.
