Back-Catalog Titles Join the Dub Slate
Alongside new-season simulcasts, Crunchyroll is extending Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs to six established franchises already in its catalogue. Dubbing prominent, long-running titles matters for regional markets because these shows typically carry built-in name recognition and fan bases from television reruns and manga readership, making them effective entry points for viewers who have not previously watched anime in a subscription-streaming format.
1) Naruto Shippuden
MAL: 8.29 | IMDb: 8.7
One of the ‘Big Three’ shonen franchises alongside One Piece and Bleach, Naruto Shippuden continues Naruto Uzumaki’s journey after his return to the Hidden Leaf Village following his training with one of the Sannins, Jiraya. The series originally ran from 2007 to 2017 and remains a cornerstone of Crunchyroll’s shonen catalogue.
Naruto Shippuden remains one of anime’s most recognizable global properties, spanning 500 episodes and helping introduce millions of viewers to Japanese animation. Its regional-language rollout marks one of Crunchyroll’s biggest catalog localization efforts in India.

Based on Sui Ishida’s celebrated manga, the series premiered in 2014 and remains one of Crunchyroll’s most-recognized horror-adjacent titles. In Summer 2026, Crunchyroll is expanding Tokyo Ghoul’s reach by rolling out all three seasons in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs.
Dub Launch date: Season 1: July 22; Season 2: August 12; Season 3: September 2 (Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs)
