Crunchyroll Welcomes 【OSHI NO KO】: Season 1 Dub Debuts as Global Expansion Hits Full Swing

Posted on by

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the anime community, Crunchyroll officially announced today that the global phenomenon 【OSHI NO KO】 has joined its massive library. While the acquisition of Season 1 and the upcoming Season 2 (slated for this Spring) is major news, the real headline for many fans is the immediate availability of the English dub for Season 1.

This collaboration, involving partners like HIDIVE, ensures that one of the most talked-about series in recent memory is more accessible than ever before, just as Season 3 continues its explosive weekly simulcast on the platform.

The English Dub Arrives on Crunchyroll

For fans who prefer the English vocal performances or those who have been waiting to start the series, the launch of Season 1 includes the English dub available at launch. This allows viewers to experience the gripping, dark turns of the idol industry with the acclaimed English cast from the very first episode. Season 1 is streaming now, with Season 2’s dub and sub expected to follow closely in the coming months.

Why 【OSHI NO KO】 Matters

Produced by studio DOGA KOBO and based on the manga by Aka Akasaka (Kaguya-sama: Love is War) and Mengo Yokoyari, the series has redefined the “idol anime” genre. It blends supernatural reincarnation with a scathing, realistic look at the dark underbelly of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Season 3: The Stakes Have Never Been Higher

As Season 1 and 2 find their new home on Crunchyroll, the story in Season 3 has reached a fever pitch. Six months after the release of “POP IN 2,” the new B-Komachi is on the verge of their big break. However, the internal rift between the Hoshino twins is wider than ever.
