RetroCrush launches Viz Media anime: Bleach, Sailor Moon and more classics

RetroCrush premiered a new batch of classic anime licensed directly from the Viz Media catalog this November 10. The Cineverse streaming platform combines immediate releases with weekly premieres that run through early December 2026.

The launch includes titles that catalog anime fans had been asking for. Among what is already available we find Bleach: Hell Verse, the movie where Ichigo Kurosaki descends into the depths of hell to rescue his sister Yuzu from a group of sinners.

Vampire Knight also arrives, that cult gothic romance with Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu protecting the fragile peace between humans and vampires at Cross Academy. And for those looking for something heavier, Genocyber brings back its cyberpunk ultraviolence with a megacorporation pursuing total domination through a monstrous cybernetic weapon.

Magical girls and Sailor Moon from day one

The initial batch doesn't stop at shonen and action. Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon R Movie brings back the film where Usagi and the Sailor Guardians defend Earth from an alien force carrying the dark Xenian flower.

And there's more magic with Sugar Sugar Rune, the series about two witch friends and polar opposites, Vanilla and Chocolate, competing for the magical throne on Earth.

Weekly premieres through December

RetroCrush's strategy isn't limited to dropping everything at once. There's a staggered release schedule that starts this very November 13 with three titles:

• Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, Team 7's cinematic debut on a security mission to protect a famous actress traveling to the Land of Snow.
• Accel World, the science fiction series with Haruyuki Arita entering the secret virtual fighting program Brain Burst.
• Captain Tsubasa, the 2018 remake that follows the prodigy Tsubasa Ozora in his quest for the national title. The original Japanese audio arrives on December 4.

On November 20 comes Hunter X Hunter: Phantom Rouge, the movie where Gon and Killua chase the thief who stole Kurapika's legendary Scarlet Eyes. A week later, on November 27, Hikaru no Go brings the strategic drama of Hikaru Shindo with the ghost of the ancient Go master, Fujiwara-no-Sai, inside his consciousness.

December closes with a rarity: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time from 1983, the live-action science fiction and romance film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. The protagonist, Kazuko, navigates involuntary and disorienting leaps through time. It premieres on December 4.
