Netflix Streams English-Dubbed Ninja Hattori Anime
posted on by Karen Ressler
Netflix is now streaming the fifth season (53 episodes) of the Indian English dub of the Ninja Hattori (Ninja-Hattori-kun) anime. In addition, it is streaming the first two 26-episode seasons of the 2012 Indian/Japaese reboot series Ninja Hattori-kun Returns, listed "忍者ハットリくん" even though it is also dubbed in English.
Several Indian news outlets had recently reported that the first two seasons of Ninja Hattori-kun Returns would be on Netflix in early 2019.
The 1981-1987 Ninja Hattori-kun anime adapted Doraemon co-creator Motoo Abiko's manga of the same name. The original show began airing in India in 2006. Each episode of the Indian dub combines three Japanese episodes.
Shinei Animation has been producing new episodes of Ninja Hattori specifically for India since 2012, though episodes have also aired in Japan. Shin-ei previously collaborated with India's Reliance MediaWorks. However, the company is partnering India's Green Gold Animation for a continuation of the reboot anime.
