In honor of Hispanic Heritage month, Funimation will be releasing 1,000+ new episodes with subtitles in Spanish and Portuguese as well as 600+ episodes dubbed in Spanish and Portuguese. These will be released at the beginning of September and will include popular anime such as Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Wonder Egg Priority, SK8 the Infinity, Higurashi: When They Cry, and Akudama Drive. Rahul Purini, Chief Operating Officer for Funimation Global Group said:

“Funimation is dedicated to serving anime fans wherever, and however they want, and that includes our audience who prefers Spanish. 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 think this is a great way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month. Anime was something that I’ve enjoyed since I was a teenager and I’m happy that so many more people will have these shows become more accessible to them.
