Cineverse Corporation, an innovative streaming technology and entertainment company, today announced the launch of its Yu-Gi-Oh! free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel on LG Channels, LG’s free streaming service.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! FAST channel brings fans all over the world a full catalog of their favorite anime series, including nearly 400 hours of episodes spanning iconic titles like “Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters,” “Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS,” and the movie “Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions.”
LG Channels is available on LG Smart TVs from 2016 and newer and can be accessed by pressing the dedicated key on the LG Magic Remote or through the home screen.
“We’ve seen extraordinary growth for the Yu-Gi-Oh! FAST channel, and bringing it to LG Smart TVs is another exciting milestone for us,” said Marc Rashba, Executive Vice President of Partnerships at Cineverse. “Expanding onto LG Channels allows us to further immerse Yu-Gi-Oh! fans in the rich universe of the series, while offering our advertising partners a highly engaged, loyal audience.”
The Yu-Gi-Oh! FAST channel has proven highly successful as Cineverse began expanding its distribution earlier this year. In fact, the Yu-Gi-Oh! FAST channel saw a 368% increase in minutes viewed in July compared to its May launch on one other platform.
LG Channels viewers can also enjoy programming stunts year-round, such as the recent Labor Day marathon dedicated to Seto Kaiba, the hardest working duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh! history. And coming soon: Duel-O-Ween, a spine-chilling Halloween marathon featuring the most supernatural episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Experience the high-stakes Shadow Games, where losing a game of cards can mean losing your soul.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a global phenomenon that began as a manga series and has since expanded into a multimedia empire that includes trading card games, animated television shows, movies, and video games. The franchise has captivated audiences for decades, boasting millions of dedicated fans around the world.
