Studio Pierrot launched an official YouTube channel for streaming classic anime titles. However, the channel is only available for a limited time. The announcement came in the form of a video celebration and promotional video featuring many of the studio’s anime. The video also celebrated the Hikaru no Go anime’s 20th anniversary. It was also paired with the first episode of The Wonderful Adventure of Nils being posted on the channel.
In terms of The Wonderful Adventure of Nils, only the first episode will be permanently on YouTube. The others will be removed after two weeks upon their release. The Japanese version of Ghost Stories will also be posted to the channel. However, there will be only three episodes posted. The posting dates for Ghost Stories are July 1st, July 8th, and July 15th, and they will only be in the Japanese Sub (sorry Dub fans!).

They are known for many renowned and popular anime such as Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho, Black Clover, Boruto, Tokyo Ghoul, and Great Teacher Onizuka. By the looks of this announcement, though, it doesn’t look like any of these titles will be available on the channel as of yet. There is also no word if any anime films will make it onto the channel as well.
