Funimation to add over 1000 dubbed and subbed anime episodes in Spanish and Portuguese

During Hispanic Heritage Month, Funimation will release 1000+ subtitled episodes & 600+ dubbed anime episodes in Spanish & Portuguese, starting this month.

For Spanish-speaking anime fans in the United States and Canada, it’s one more reason to binge-watch various anime series en español this time, whether it’s a classic hit like Cowboy Bebop or a new one like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

According to Funimation, it started making subbed and dubbed episodes in Spanish and Portuguese earlier this year for viewers in the US and Canada.

“Funimation is dedicated to serving anime fans wherever, and however they want, and that includes our audience who prefers Spanish,” said Rahul Purini, Chief Operating Officer at Funimation Global Group. “The stories and themes that anime conveys are universal, and Funimation knows that Hispanic and Latino audiences love their anime. The addition to our content library is just one of the ways we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.”

“I am SO SO excited that the Latin anime community can experience their favorite shows dubbed in Spanish,” said Anairis Quiñones, voice of Mirko in My Hero Academia. “Our community has loved anime for the longest time and is a huge supporter of anime. I’m happy that the industry can give back with more opportunities to experience anime and even be a part of it! Keep an eye out for My Hero Academia’s Spanish dub! ¡¡Plus ultra!!”

“Growing up watching English dubs of anime, it was rare to see any Latino voice actors in the credits, let alone Latino voice directors,” said Emily Fajardo, the voice of Eua in the anime Higurashi: When They Cry – GOU. “I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to direct and act in dubs and to help make anime more accessible to people from all different backgrounds.”
