The fall 2018 anime series Double Decker! Dug & Kiril is getting some additional streaming distribution that comes thanks to the slow-roll merger of libraries between Funimation and Crunchyroll. While Crunchyroll had the simulcast originally as a piece of a partnership operating at that time, Funimation had the English dub, and its been a semi-exclusive on their site. Now, the thirteen-episode dub has been added to Crunchyroll so viewers can have a choice as to what they want to watch on the service.
The series is directed by Takeshi Furuta and based on the series composition by Tomohiro Suzuki. Ryou Andou is handling the series direction while Masakazu Katsura is working on the character designs. Sunrise is handling the animation as this fits into the “Buddy Series” project similar to Tiger & Bunny.
The Japanese cast includes Satoshi Mikami as Doug Billingham, Kouhei Amasaki as Kirill Wrubel, Saori Hayami as Deena Del Rio, Chika Anzai as Catherine “Kei” Rochefort, Yo Taichi as Maxine “Max” Silverstone, Atsumi Tanezaki as Yuri Fujishiro, Rikiya Koyama as Travis Murphy, Aya Endo as Sophie, and Takuma Nagatsuka as Apple.

Plot concept: The city-state Risvaletta. In the shadow of this city with two suns where people go about their tranquil everyday lives, crimes and illegal drugs run rampant. Above all, a dangerous, highly-fatal drug named “Anthem” is casting a dark shadow on the streets. The “Seven-O” special criminal investigation unit, whose specialty is to supervise the investigation of Anthem, institutes a “Double Decker System” policy of forming groups of two investigators. Doug Billingham is a veteran investigator. And now arriving at his side is Kirill Vrubel, whose true ability as an investigator is unknown. An aloof veteran detective who is hard to get a read on, and a rookie detective who is too eager and often takes actions in vain. The story of this unconventional detective duo starts now.
