Crunchyroll Adds Tamil, Telugu Dubs for Darling in the FRANXX Anime

Crunchyroll began streaming the Tamil and Telugu dubs for Studio Trigger and A-1 Pictures' DARLING in the FRANXX anime on Wednesday. It also began streaming the English dub for the television anime of Nami Sano's Migi & Dali (Migi to Dali) manga in India on Tuesday.

The first two episodes of all three dubs are streaming on the service.

Crunchyroll began streaming Hindi and Indian English dubs for DARLING in the FRANXX in November 2022. Studio Trigger and A-1 Pictures' original science-fiction anime premiered in January 2018 and aired for 24 episodes.

The story is set in the distant future. The land is ruined, and humanity establishes the mobile fort city Plantation. Pilots produced inside Plantation live in Mistilteinn, also known as the "birdcage." Children live there knowing nothing of the outside world or the freedom of the sky. Their lives consist of battling to carry out missions. Their enemies are mysterious giant lifeforms known as Kyōryū, and the children pilot robots called Franxx to face off against them. For the children, riding the Franxx proves their existence.

A boy named Hiro is called Code:016, and he was once known as a prodigy. However, he has fallen behind, and his existence seems unnecessary. Not piloting a Franxx is the same as ceasing to exist. One day, a mysterious girl known as "Zero Two" appears before him. Two horns grow out of her head.

Atsushi Nishigori (The IDOLM@STER, character designer for Gurren Lagann) directed the series, and Toshifumi Akai (chief animation director for Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Sound of the Sky) was assistant director. Nishigori and Naotaka Hayashi (director for Girl Friend BETA, Morita-san wa Mukuchi) were in charge of series composition. Masayoshi Tanaka (anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, Highschool of the Dead) designed the characters and was chief animation director. Shigeto Koyama (Michiko & Hatchin, Ancien and the Magic Tablet) provided the mechanical designs. Hiroyuki Imaishi (director of Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill) supervised the action. Mika Nakashima (NANA) and L'Arc-en-Ciel's HYDE collaborated on the opening theme song "Kiss of Death." HYDE wrote and composed the song while Nakashima provided the vocals.
