EXCLUSIVE: Japanimation fever continues to take hold in North America.
As the Anime Expo begins in L.A. this week, 24/7 FAST channel It’s Anime has launched on Samsung TV Plus in the U.S. and Canada. The network will provide a mix of modern era anime titles and classic shows.
The line-up over coming months comprises the likes of Toungen Anki, Haigakura, Your Forma, Mr Deer Friend Nokotan, Gag Manga Biyori Go, Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, Tonbo!, Tasokare Hotel and Kuroko’s Basketball.
It’s Anime is set to roll out in other territories and on other platforms across this year and 2026.
Remow, a Tokyo-based company that brings Japanese content to worldwide audiences, is behind the network. The firm has brought Japanese content to 140 countries, launched a dedicated anime channel in 18 Latin American and expanded the reach of Japanese period dramas in North America.
Remow’s 24/7 Samurai-Shinobi FAST channel launched two years ago and is now in 140 countries on more than 40 streaming services, and the company’s YouTube views have passed 100 million.
“We developed It’s Anime to meet the expectations of today’s anime audience — passionate, engaged fans who want timely access to the latest series without barriers,” said Akira Ishii, CEO of Remow. “This channel treats FAST as one of the premier destinations for top-quality anime. We’re proud to offer this on a FAST service where viewers can discover and enjoy fresh, in-demand titles as they become part of the global conversation. We hope this channel expands the fanbase of anime.”
Anime Expo begins tomorrow and runs through to July 6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. It’s set to attract thousands of anime and Japanese content and culture fans through the doors.
