A.J. Beckles is cast as Jiro Azuma in the English dub of the Black Torch television anime, which premiered with a same-day English dub on Crunchyroll. He also co-hosts Tomodachi Talks, an original program announced by Remow for its It's Anime FAST channel.
A.J. Beckles has two confirmed roles in the current coverage. In July, Crunchyroll announced a same-day English dub for the Black Torch television anime, with Beckles voicing Jiro Azuma. The dub began on a Saturday, and the cast includes Ben Balmaceda as Toshimasa Azuma, Ben Diskin as Amagi/Crow, and Erin Yvette as Ichika Kishimojin, among others. STUDIOPOLIS, Inc. handles ADR production. The same-day dub means Crunchyroll is treating Black Torch as a priority simulcast title for its international audience.
The second role is hosting rather than voice acting. In October, Remow announced Tomodachi Talks, an original program hosted by voice actors SungWon Cho and A.J. Beckles, with other actors as guests. The program is tied to Remow's It's Anime free ad-supported streaming channel, which launched on Pluto TV on September 10, Prime Video on September 1, and the PlayStation 5 Live TV lineup on August 31 in the U.S. The channel carries Remow-licensed titles including Your Forma, Tougen Anki, and My Deer Friend Nokotan.
The two stories show Beckles working in separate parts of the anime business. One is a simulcast dub cast credit on a Crunchyroll title. The other is original programming for a FAST channel, where he appears as a host alongside another voice actor. The stories do not connect the two roles, and neither gives further detail on Beckles beyond these credits. No other projects or biographical information appears in the coverage.
