Many anime get English dubs, but the English language versions are typically released with a delay of a few weeks. Some shows get lucky and have simultaneous English dub releases, such as Delicious in Dungeon.

Now, it’s confirmed that Kaiju No. 8 is the next anime to get a simuldub release.

What’s more, aside from English, there will also be dubs in Latin American Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Castilian Spanish, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

All of these dubs will be released at the same time worldwide. The number of dubs seems to imply that this will be one of the biggest shows pushed by Crunchyroll this year.
