Anime Unleashed

Anime Unleashed's Current LogoAbout Anime Unleashed

Showcasing the best in animation from across the pond, Anime Unleashed aired dubbed anime such as Last Exile, Gad Guard and Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Acting as a block rather than an actual show, AU rotated in and out new episodes and reruns of anime often and was relatively light on edits.


Status
-Anime Unleashed is canceled and no longer airs.

Tidbits
