By Kyra Greene

Cineverse Corp, a leader in streaming technology and entertainment, has unveiled the launch of its Yu-Gi-Oh! free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel on LG Channels, the free streaming service available on LG Smart TVs. This exciting development brings fans nearly 400 hours of their favorite anime, featuring iconic series like Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, and the movie Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions.

With LG Channels accessible on LG Smart TVs (2016 and newer), viewers can dive into the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe with ease, using the LG Magic Remote or simply navigating from the home screen. Marc Rashba, Executive Vice President of Partnerships at Cineverse, shared his excitement about the expansion:

“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. 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 channel’s success has been nothing short of impressive, boasting a 368% surge in viewing minutes since its initial May launch. Special programming events, like the Seto Kaiba Labor Day marathon, have kept fans engaged, with more thrilling marathons on the horizon. Duel-O-Ween, an upcoming Halloween marathon, promises a collection of supernatural episodes, plunging fans into the high-stakes Shadow Games where a single card game could mean more than just defeat.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! phenomenon has its roots in manga and has since grown into a global empire, spanning trading card games, TV shows, movies, and video games. With millions of fans worldwide, this latest expansion solidifies Yu-Gi-Oh!’s standing as a cross-generational cultural powerhouse.
