Los Angeles, USA (August 26, 2013) – Bushiroad announced this morning that it will be working together with Aniplex of America to stream the animated adaptation of hot trading card game property Cardfight!! Vanguard on the free, ad-supported Hulu and Hulu Plus subscription service beginning August 26, 2013 in the USA.
The recently introduced Cardfight!! Vanguard trading card game continues its meteoric rise in the United States and beyond, leaping to the top 5 collectible hobby games chart in Spring 2013, barely a year after its introduction into the States.
The “Cardfight!! Vanguard” animated series, produced by animation studio TMS Entertainment, depicts the coming-of-age of protagonist Aichi Sendou as he meets and plays against new friends and rivals during his adventures across the real world and the fantasy realm of Planet Cray. The show, currently in its third season, is lauded for its faithful accuracy to the trading card game and the high quality of its English dub, and is currently being broadcasted across Japan and Southeast Asia, as well as having an official YouTube channel for the international audience.
Episodes 1-20 will be available on Hulu and Hulu Plus upon launch, and more episodes will be made available for viewing at a later date.
Producer Shunichi Taira quoted: “We are extremely excited to share our products with the world and we are confident that our partnership with Aniplex of America will introduce the animated world of Cardfight!! Vanguard to everyone in the USA via the popular Hulu service.”
Does this mean there will be no new episode on their youtube channel?
