Just 4 days before its debut in Japan, FUNimation announced it had acquired the rights to simulcast the series and release it on home video later in the year. FUNimation has gotten a lot of attention lately with its new broadcast dubbing of new series out of Japan and its weekly DubbleTalk Block on Wednesday nights. We hope they plan to broadcast dub this one as well but no word on that yet. The simulcast means you will see it, subbed, the same week as everyone in Japan does.

Under FUNimations new pricing structure, you can view all simulcast subbed and any other subbed anime for about half the price of the full subscription. The SubPass will cost you $4.99/month versus $7.99 a month for the full version. If you are fan of even some dubs I would highly recommend the full subscription as it also grants you coupons and special discounts on anime purchases through FUNimation.

The fantasy action series will premiere on April 4th, at 10am ET.

From Wit Studio, the creative force behind Attack on Titan, comes a brand-new action series—Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign! After a mysterious virus wipes out ninety percent of humanity, vampires emerge from the recesses of the earth to enslave mankind, treating them like livestock. After growing tired of donating blood in exchange for protection, 12-year-old Yuichiro Hyakuya and his best friend Mikaela Hyakuya plot an escape along with the other orphans. After being the only successful runaway, Yuichiro joins the Moon Demon Company, an extermination unit of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army dedicated to killing off vampires. A true shonen fan should not miss out on Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign!
