There’s competition for Crunchyroll, at least for Spanish speakers on this side of the pond: it’s called AnimeBox and boasts not only a robust anime catalog, but also an offering of everything dubbed into Spanish, not Spanish, as it’s a new video-on-demand service from Catalan company Selecta Vision. In other words, and make no mistake, you can enjoy AnimeBox content in its original version, as well as dubbed.

As is obvious, its main characteristic is also its main weakness, which is that AnimeBox’s catalog must necessarily be worse than Crunchyroll’s, but there is so much anime that has been produced in recent years and continues to be produced that depending on taste and desire each of them, it can be an interesting alternative to enjoy Japanese animation. I am referring, of course, to the issue of dubbing.

Because, as is also obvious, there are many anime lovers who prefer it in its original version with subtitles: because they like it better and, above all, because the amount of offer available in this way is great. There is also a lot of dubbed content, but there will never be that many, and especially new ones are usually hard to find. On the other hand, tastes aside, we have top-notch dubs in Spain, and they’ve been demonstrating it in the anime field for decades.

Be that as it may, you prefer to watch anime one way or the other, AnimeBox covers both; but it was notable that it was one of his main strengths. Next up, needless to say, is a catalog full of truffles the greatest hits of yesterday, today and alwayswhich is often said: in the presentation video you can see fragments of series such as Attack the titans, Guardians of the night, Naruto, Digimon, one piece, evangelion, Ranma 1/2, Akira… And long, etc. without specifying.

What is specified are their plans:

• Free to rent up to one device.
• €5.99 per month with access to all content except premium movies on up to one device.
• €7.99 per month with access to all content, downloads for offline viewing and up to two devices.

All plans include access to Simulcast (The series premiered at the same time as Japan in its original version with subtitles). Additionally, there is a 50% off introductory offer “with 2 months free (over 6 months free with introductory offer).

AnimeBox is only available for Spain and Andorra and can be viewed via web browser or mobile apps for Android and iOS. Please enter animebox official site see more

And that’s all we can read, because although the service comes from a company with a solvent and established history, such as Selecta Vision, distributor of a large part of the anime films currently shown in Spanish cinemas, the site is top of the line. more shabby and does not contain any technical information, nor accurate information from the catalog.

We’ll have to see how they manage to maintain and grow, because at first glance, practically everything that can be found on AnimeBox can be found on other services streaming on the market, and I don’t just mean Crunchyroll: there’s more and more anime on all platforms, especially Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but also Disney+.
