The New York Comic Con x MCM Comic Con Metaverse online event’s schedule is listing a “First Look at Japanese Phenom Anpanman Ahead of U.S. Debut on Tubi” panel for October 11, 2020 at 9:25 p.m. EDT, and the panel description states that streaming service Tubi TV will stream 10 films from the Soreike! Anpanman franchise. Tubi TV had previously announced that it would stream six films from the franchise.

Tubi TV will stream the films on its service in Fall 2020. The films will be available in English and Spanish.

Tubi TV describes Anpanman as:

Through a deal with TMS Entertainment, making its English and Spanish language debut and available exclusively on Tubi, are six movies featuring Anpanman, one of the most recognized animated characters in Asia and the most popular character among both boys and girls in Japan. Anpanman is so popular that the K-Pop band BTS wrote a song about him. The Anpanman franchise has generated over $60 billion in merchandising sales. Anpanman is a superhero whose head is an anpan, a popular Japanese pastry. He is a champion of justice and flies anywhere to help those in trouble.

The Soreike! Anpanman television anime series began in 1988, and new Anpanman films have opened each summer since 1989.
