India anime news today focuses on Netflix expanding its anime catalog, Crunchyroll launching same-day English dubs, and YouTube platforms making anime more accessible for Indian viewers. So let’s get started.
The year has just started, and we’ve already received a lot of good news for Indian anime fans from Netflix streaming anime at the same time it airs in Japan, to YouTube channels like An-One Asia streaming anime for free, and anime airing on the same dates as in Japan and other countries.
