FilmRise has announced its second deal with Fuji Creative Corporation, the distribution arm of Fuji Television Network, having secured North American and Latin American rights to six popular anime programs.

The deal comes shortly after the two companies’ partnership of bringing Fuji TV’s “Iron Chef” to global audiences, and now gives FilmRise the AVOD and FAST streaming rights to these classic anime titles for distribution on the FilmRise Streaming Network’s Anime Channel and App.

Danny Fisher, CEO of FilmRise states, “We are excited to be expanding our relationship with Fuji Creative, bringing these stellar programs onto our rapidly growing Anime services. Fuji is a valued partner of ours and we look forward to growing our relationship, bringing a wide array of Japanese programming to our audiences.”

The programs included in the deal are “Flame of Recca” (42 half hour episodes), “Ghosts At School” (20 half hour episodes), “GTO” (44 half hour episodes), “Key: The Metal Idol” (9 half hour episodes), “Thermae Romae” (5 half hour episodes), and “Battery” (11 half hour episodes).

Genichi Kimura, Senior Executive Managing Director at Fuji Creative Corporation adds, “Offering these popular anime programs free to consumers on the FilmRise Streaming Network is a wonderful way to make these titles accessible to a wide range of anime fans across North & Latin America.”
