Catchplay+ has made history by becoming the first service in the world to offer English subtitles officially for the anime series Girls Band Cry. This Indonesian streaming service has taken a groundbreaking step to provide Indonesian users with the opportunity to enjoy the anime with both Indonesian and English subtitles.
The Girls Band Cry anime, produced by Toei Animation, has been added to Catchplay+’s lineup, with new episodes available every Monday (although the service is currently two episodes behind the Japanese broadcast schedule). This move marks Indonesia as the third country outside of Japan to have access to this exciting anime, following France and South Korea.
The series, which premiered on April 5, follows the journey of a high school dropout who dreams of entering university while navigating the challenges of working in Tokyo. The anime’s narrative delves into themes of betrayal, survival, and the search for belonging, all set against the backdrop of a city that constantly disappoints.
Toei Animation, renowned for its work on popular anime series such as Precure, One Piece, and Dragon Ball, has assembled a talented team for Girls Band Cry. With Kazuo Sakai directing, Jukki Hanada on series composition, and character design by nari Teshima, the anime promises to captivate audiences with its compelling storytelling.
As fans eagerly await each new episode, the addition of English subtitles on Catchplay+ provides a unique opportunity for international viewers to engage with the series in a whole new way. The service’s commitment to offering this option sets a new standard for accessibility and inclusivity in the world of anime streaming.
With each episode promising new twists and turns in the characters’ journeys, Girls Band Cry is poised to become a must-watch for anime enthusiasts around the globe. As Catchplay+ continues to expand its offerings and reach new audiences, the future looks bright for both the service and the anime industry as a whole.
