Netflix expanded its catalog with three new anime sequel simulcasts featuring weekly episode releases, anime2you.de reported. The streaming platform added the second season of Blue Box alongside the third season of Ranma 1/2 and the second season of Tougen Anki.

Blue Box Season 2 Arrives With German and Japanese Audio

The second season of Blue Box leads the latest batch of additions, with its first episode available immediately in both a German dubbed version and the original Japanese audio track with subtitles, anime2you.de reported. New episodes drop every Sunday on the platform. The story follows Taiki Inomata, a badminton club member who harbors a secret crush on his senpai Chinatsu Kano from the basketball team. As their relationship shifts, Taiki navigates his athletic ambitions while trying to grow closer to Chinatsu.

Ranma 1/2 and Tougen Anki Continue With Subtitled Premieres

Alongside Blue Box, Netflix introduced the opening episodes of two additional series in Japanese audio with German subtitles, according to anime2you.de. The third season of Ranma 1/2 debuted its first episode, with subsequent chapters slated for a weekly release every Saturday. The series centers on martial artist Ranma Saotome, who transforms into a girl when splashed with cold water—a supernatural complication compounded by his father arranging an involuntary engagement to Akane Tendo.
