Thankfully at this yr's Anime Expo Calorie-free anime distributor Aniplex announced that it would be releasing a dub for Persona 5: The Animation which, starting today, can finally be streamed on Funimation'due south streaming service.

When the Persona 5: The Animation dub was announced, it was revealed that the simply way to experience the 26-episode anime dubbed was through the half-dozen-disc, $300 box prepare, which is now sold out. That is, until yesterday Funimation started teasing a Persona 5: The Animationrelated announcement, which has now been revealed to be that the company's streaming service will host all 26 episodes and the 2 OVAs in both English dubbed and Japanese subtitled formats.
