There’s a new adult animation channel, backed by Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin and entrepreneur Jimmy Iovine, hitting two free streaming services. The Bizaar FAST Channel, a 24/7 free streaming channel is now available on Samsung TV Plus and Xumo Play.
The channel will have everything from well-known titles to indie content. At launch, some of that content includes:
- Speed Racer – The high-octane, globally beloved ‘60s anime series that ignited generations of gearheads and animation fans with its sleek design and breakneck pacing.
- Lupin the 3rd – The long-running anime franchise following the world’s greatest gentleman thief, blending stylish heists, jazzy soundtracks, and noir espionage with a global cult following.
- Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple – A martial arts anime that delivers a powerful coming-of-age journey filled with humor, heart, and bone-crunching combat, centered around a bullied teen turned martial arts master.
- Requiem from the Darkness – A psychological horror anthology dripping with atmosphere and dread, where ghost stories and folklore reveal humanity’s darkest instincts in beautifully frightening animation.
- Virtua Fighter – Based on Sega’s iconic video game series, this action-packed anime adaptation expands the franchise’s universe through richly animated martial arts battles and character-driven story arcs.
- Animated documentaries from The New Yorker – Visually striking, thought-provoking shorts that bring real-world stories to life with the prestige, wit, and depth expected from one of the world’s most respected publishers.
- Viral indie animation shorts – A rotating slate of acclaimed works from creators like Mr. Friend, Pedro Allevato, Alec Lang, Maddie Brewer, Nina Chung, Amy Hewett, and Lincoln Swing Street — artists who’ve collectively earned more than 300 million views on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram with boundary-pushing stories and eye-popping visuals.
