One Piece, Dr. Slump, and More Join Tubi in Collaboration with Toei

If you're looking for a new place to watch some of the biggest anime in Japan spanning the past few decades, you might want to start digging around on Tubi. Fox Entertainment's free, ad-supported service announced a partnership with Toei Animation this week, which introduces a bunch of popular anime ranging from One Piece to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama's classic Dr. Slump.

Seven TV anime series are joining the lineup for a total of around 500 episodes between them. While that not take too big of a chunk out of a mammoth like One Piece, Eiichiro Oda's series will also have six specials on Tubi, including 3D2Y, Episode of Sabo, Adventure of Nebulandia, Heart of Gold, Episode of East Blue, and Episode of Skypiea.

Other shows on the way are Toriko, GeGeGe no Kitaro, Slam Dunk, Saint Seiya: Saintia Sho, and Saint Seiya: Hades. As Tubi notes in its press release, this marks the first English-subtitled streaming release in the United States for Dr. Slump and Saint Seiya: Hades, but we'll have to stay tuned for more info on the exact release dates.

Here's how Tubi—which is available in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Australia—describes the upcoming additions:

• Dr. Slump (English subtitled version on Tubi) – Based on the manga by Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball), this comedic adventure about an inventor and his robotic daughter Arale. Dr. Slump predates Toriyama’s Dragon Ball, but occasionally the two series have had crossover appearances and share the same universe.
