Shogakukan-Shueisha Production announced that its official Shonen Jump channel on YouTube has surpassed two million followers. The company group decided to celebrate the milestone by holding the Weekly Shonen Jump Anime Festival, where it will gradually publish episodes of anime adaptations from its manga titles for free temporarily on the channel.
The company has provided a list of titles it will publish anime episodes of on YouTube during the celebratory event. It includes series like Gintama, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Bleach, with the the Bleach episodes focusing on the currently running Thousand Year Blood War arc adaptation.
The festival immediately begins on February 20, 2025, with the publications of the first two episodes from the first season of Haikyu!! However, we suspect the videos are actually geo-locked to Japan only, as we do not spot the said videos on the channel.
Here is the list of anime episodes set to air on the channel in Japan up until March 2025:
- Haikyu!! – First 13 episodes from Season 1 starting from February 20, 2025
