Links work fine for me. If you want to buy the show, you have to do it within the AppleTV app which won't automatically happen on a windows PC

I only checked a couple, but under languages it lists audio for English and Japanese, and subtitles for English as well

Community Reviews

Apple TV is offering a deep batch of anime box sets for $4.99, with standouts like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Serial Experiments Lain, Hellsing, Samurai Champloo, Trigun, and Princess Jellyfish. The strongest appeal is value on classic series, especially where physical releases are out of print or expensive. Several titles also appear to include English and Japanese audio with English subtitles, though some listings are awkward to find, may open the wrong series, or require buying inside the Apple TV app. Access can also be inconsistent across devices, and purchased content does not carry over cleanly to Android or other services.

Common Questions (5)

  • The purchase often has to be completed inside the Apple TV app, not from a Windows PC browser. Some listings open the Apple TV+ app with a series page and a Buy button, and scrolling farther down can reveal a Box Set section.

  • Some listings show English and Japanese audio with English subtitles, and several titles have separate box-set listings specifically labeled for Japanese audio. The original Hellsing also includes both English and Japanese audio.

    bdashradespyhegemon13

  • Yes. Serial Experiments Lain and Outlaw Star Complete were also found for $4.99, and Ergo Proxy was suggested as another Apple TV listing to check.

    GhosteChocoToto

  • There is no indication they transfer to Movies Anywhere or other services, and purchased content reportedly cannot be watched on Apple+ on Android OS. That makes the deal most useful if you plan to watch inside Apple's ecosystem.

    ovivlionebolaboi

  • No. These are digital box sets in Apple TV, not physical boxed editions, so they do not include a real box or disc set.

In japan many voice actors are as popular or even more so then regular actors. They have very high standards that America does not.
For example you can walk up to any person on the street in Japan and ask who their favorite voice actor is, and even if they don't have one they can give you a name. Pretty sure no one in my circle could do the same for an American voice actor.
Not true. In America famous regular actors are typically cast for any big budget animated films and the American movie going population can name them.

Then there are people primarily known as voice actors and anyone actually into animation in the US is going to be able to name some of the top Simpsons cast.

The actual writing in Anime is a far cry from American storytelling.

As you said regular well known actors are cast for blockbuster animations, not regular animated series'. I know there are well employed voice actors but I wouldn't recognize them by name and I don't think the average American would either.

**Edit**
Ill stop taking away from the point of this thread, and add any more to this.

Will these transfer to movies anywhere or other services? I don't have any Apple products or Apple+. The prices are good for some series I haven't in ages.

Any American that doesn't know Hank Azaria, Dan Castellaneta, Nancy Cartwright simply are not into animation.

It also isn't just big budget animated films that get "known" actors. Anything making it to syndication has a good chance of getting a mainstream voice on the show. It is much easier to afford someone for a VO project.

We're the only country of nerds that complain about dubbed. Do you think other countries are watching American stuff in English with subtitles? I've been to other countries and have friends from other countries, and they all watch our stuff dubbed in their language.
That's how it should be. Dubbed for the audience observing the content.

I checked every single one listed here, plus a couple of others, these actually have a separate box set listing for Japanese audio (it will clearly say it in the title):
  • Assassination Classroom
  • Gargantia
  • Horimiya
  • Concreto Revolutio
  • Outlaw Star

I wish there was a listing collated somewhere but there isn't. I think also Fandango has any shows ever in English, so I think AppleTV is the only option, even tho it is pretty paltry. Hope this helps people who prefer original audio!
I don't know if they're showing the language from other services, but I wouldn't trust them. For example, Ergo Proxy shows Japanese. I purchased it a while ago, and I only have English audio as an option.
