Space Dandy
FUNimation has updated folks on what’s going on with Space Dandy this morning and there’s a lot to like. The series is set to premiere on January 4th at 11:30pm on Adult Swim’s Toonami block with the dubbed version. The series is set to air in Japan at 11:00pm on January 5th on Tokyo MX, followed by TV Osaka, TV Aichi and BS Fuji. In addition to that, it’ll get a premiere several other areas:
Space Dandy is set to be Animax Asia’s latest simulcast anime title. Across Southeast Asia, Space Dandy will premiere on January 5th at 10:00pm (SG, MY, PH, HK, TW) / 9:00pm (JKT, TH) first and exclusively on Animax, in a same-time-as-Japan broadcast. In addition, Space Dandy will debut in India on the same day as the Japan premiere at 10:00pm (IST) on Animax. The series will air with local language subtitling and an option of English dubbed audio on Animax.
Animax Korea has also licensed Space Dandy for South Korea. The channel will launch a Korean-subtitled version of the series simultaneously with Japan in January on their live channel and web-based VOD platform, SPINA.
Australia / New Zealand fans will be able to watch the series via Madman’s Screening Room (madman.com.au/videos) at the same time as the Japanese broadcast. The series will be streamed in Japanese with English subtitles. English dub broadcast information will be confirmed at a later date.
The series has been licensed to Anime Limited for English and French-speaking countries and regions in Europe. TV and online broadcast schedules are to be managed by Wakanim, with other outlets under consideration. AV Visionen had gained the license for German-speaking countries and regions, and they plan to simulcast the series with German subtitles on their own streaming platform.
