Crunchyroll Adds Thai, Indonesian Dubs of Kaguya-sama, One-Punch Man Anime

Crunchyroll added Thai and Indonesian dubs for all three seasons of the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime, as well as Thai and Indonesian dubs for both seasons of the One-Punch Man anime last week.

Viz Media is publishing Aka Akasaka's original Kaguya-sama: Love is War manga in English, and it describes the story:

All's fair when love is war!
Two geniuses. Two brains. Two hearts. One battle. Who will confess their love first…?!
Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane are two geniuses who stand atop their prestigious academy's student council, making them the elite among elite. But it's lonely at the top and each has fallen for the other. There's just one huge problem standing in the way of lovey-dovey bliss—they're both too prideful to be the first to confess their romantic feelings and thus become the “loser” in the competition of love! And so begins their daily schemes to force the other to confess first!

The first television anime of Aka Akasaka's Kaguya-sama: Love is War manga premiered in January 2019 and aired for 12 episodes. Kaguya-sama: Love is War Season 2 premiered in April 2020 and aired for 12 episodes. Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai -Ultra Romantic-, the series' third season, premiered in April 2022. Muse Asia streamed the first two seasons in a marathon catchup immediately prior to streaming the third season as it aired in Japan.

Kaguya-sama: Love is War -The First Kiss That Never Ends- (Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: First Kiss wa Owaranai), the anime film adapting the Kaguya-sama: Love is War manga's story arc of the same name, opened in Japan in December 2022. Muse Asia screened the film theatrically in various Southeast Asian territories in 2023.

The anime will have a new special titled Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Otona e no Kaidan.

ONE and Yūsuke Murata's original One-Punch Man manga centers on Saitama, a man who has trained so hard that he is able to trivialize any fight he gets into, with anything from petty thugs to alien supervillains defeated in just one punch. His power allows him to tackle superheroism as a casual hobby, one that he eventually grows bored with. When the combat robot Genos, impressed with his strength, asks to be a disciple under Saitama, Saitama becomes embroiled in the regulatory politics and backbiting of the Hero Association.

Madhouse and director Shingo Natsume's first 12-episode anime season aired in Japan from October-December 2015. Animax Asia aired the anime in Southeast Asia in September 2016, and the now-defunct Daisuki streaming service also offered the anime in selected Asian countries.

The second season by J.C. Staff and director Chikara Sakurai began with a television special in April 2019, then the first episode premiered one week later. Animax Asia once again aired the anime as it aired in Japan.

The anime has an upcoming third season that will premiere in October.
