The first 6 episodes of BNA: Brand New Animal anime were already available on Netflix. Last week, Studio Trigger released the remaining episodes 7-12. However, all these episodes were Japan-only, and fans were really hoping for a worldwide release.
Last week, the staff also conducted a live stream on Twitch with the series’ director Yoh Yoshinari, producer Naoko Tsutsumi, and storyboarder Masahiko Ohtsuka.
One of the most asked questions throughout the stream was about the international availability of BNA. Even though they said it is under process, they didn’t entirely give the surprise away.
On Friday, Netflix Tweeted, that it will begin streaming BNA: Brand New Animal anime in the United States on June 30.

While we would love to have an international release scheduled simultaneously with the Japanese release, Netflix’s main game is in dub and binge culture.
So we know one thing that when Netflix does dub, it is not garbage because instead of giving 40 dollars per person for translation, they always deliver quality words.
