Ammo Content, a digital video distribution company, has recently moved over three animes from the "Godfather of Manga," Osamu Tezuka, to Amazon Prime's extensive library.
These titles include:
-
Astro Boy Dub (1983) - Episodes 1-13
-
Black Jack Dub (2018 NEW) - Episodes 1-52
-
Phoenix Dub (2004) - Episodes 1-13
Ammo Content works as a middle man between content creators and licensors, and the platforms for release and viewing, and in this case their company exclusively works more for the online digital platforms. All three series are the English dubs for the series, the only new dubbed version being
Black Jack, which has never been English dubbed before.
Astro Boy had only its first season of the 1983 dubbed anime series brought over to Prime. The entire series run totaled 52 episodes and was the second anime series based off Tezuka's first hit manga.
The
Black Jack anime series is interesting, because this series was released back in 2004, but was never released with an English dub. No official word from Ammo Content or the licensors of the series have announced when the official dubbed version was produced, but a few voice actors have come out to
say they recorded for the series.
Phoenix, a popular unfinished manga series tied to Tezuka which was later turned into an anime in 2004, has its entire series on Prime. Considered by Tezuka as "his life's work," each volume of the manga told of a seperate all-encompassing story involving the search of immortality, and of course the cycle that comes with reincarnation, an element always tied to the Phoenix.
All three English dubbed anime are available now to stream for
free via Amazon Prime, or for
$1.99 USD per HD episode, or
$0.99 USD per SD episode.
