Viz Media Uploads Lots of Subbed Anime Licensed by Them to YouTube for Free

[A Link In Time]

I thought this news was noteworthy enough to get its own thread. Viz has uploaded a lot of iconic anime that was licensed to them onto YouTube for free: https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/watch-anime-for-free-on-youtube

The series included are Death Note, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, and Mr. Osomatsu with a handful of movies as well. I think anime culture tends to gravitate towards newer titles dominating the conversation, so it's greater to see older gems become more readily available so new fans can be born.

this is a really cool gesture, wonder if other companies would be on board, maybe not

This is awesome, but unsurprisingly seems to be region-locked to those outside of the US.

No? It worked fine for me

It actually had the OP on there, it just blanked out for the screenshot. Also it's the subbed version

I do


EDIT: I now see what you were saying, I thought you were saying that it was reigon locked to only be avaiable outside the US

Inuyasha? LFG, might finally get youtube on the switch so I can play it on the TV in my room.

Cool thing for them to have done for US customers I suppose. Though I can’t see this becoming a huge amount wider while there is still money to be made from streaming subscriptions.
