Psyren’s English Dub Surprise-Drops on Crunchyroll 16 Years After Cancellation
Psyren fans got an unexpected bonus this week. Crunchyroll announced Sunday that it began streaming an English dub of Toshiaki Iwashiro’s long-awaited anime adaptation starting Monday, October 19, catching up to just two episodes behind the Japanese broadcast rather than making dub viewers wait for a delayed release.
The announcement caught many fans off guard, since earlier coverage throughout October had explicitly noted no dub had been confirmed for the series.
A Nearly Two-Decade Wait Finally Pays Off
Psyren originally ran in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump starting in 2007 before being cancelled in 2010 after 100 chapters, despite building a dedicated cult following. The anime adaptation, which finally premiered October 5, 2026, marks the end of a 16-year wait between the manga’s cancellation and its animated debut, something few cancelled Jump series ever get.
Getting an English dub this close to the subtitled release adds another layer to that comeback story. Rather than the typical months-long gap between a simulcast’s sub and dub versions, Psyren’s English cast is already nearly caught up with Japan’s weekly broadcast.
The English Cast
Crunchyroll’s in-house dub team handled the production, with Dani Chambers directing and Zach Bolton producing. The confirmed English cast includes:
- Dylan Ray Owen as Ageha Yoshina
- Kelly Greenshield as Sakurako Amamiya
- Katelyn Barr as Fubuki Yoshina
- Kevin D. Thelwell as Hiroki
- Jacob Browning as Miyake
- Abigail Blythe as Nemesis Q
- Derrick Snow as Okumura
- Mauricio Ortiz-Segura as Saka
- Daniel Van Thomas as Usui
The Japanese cast remains intact for the subtitled version, led by Rikuya Yasuda as Ageha Yoshina and Mayuko Kazama as Sakurako Amamiya.
Where and When to Watch
Both the sub and dub versions are streaming now on Crunchyroll, with new episodes releasing weekly on Mondays at 7:30 a.m. PT / 10:30 a.m. ET.

Crunchyroll holds streaming rights worldwide excluding Japan and China, while Japanese audiences can also catch the series on ABEMA, Amazon Prime Video, and d Anime Store alongside its TV broadcast on Tokyo MX, BS11, and Sun TV.
