One of the things that I like that we get in an irregular way is that subtitled clips come out for select shows that are now airing in order to try and entice you into watching it. Funimation is doing that for the new summer show Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest with the first subtitled clip having arrived, giving us a taste for it. There’s also a simuldub coming up on July 22nd, 2019 and availability for it is set to viewers in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
