Crunchyroll’s days are filled with alien servants and Space Terrible Monster Crowds.

Earlier today, the streaming service announced that they added DearS and Diebuster to their catalog. Both shows are currently available in their entirety to both free and paying members in subtitled format.

Dub fans are in luck, as well. DearS is also available in English dubbed format, which features Geneon’s 2005 dub by New Generation Pictures.

In North America, Geneon Animation released the title on DVD.

Diebuster, also known as Gunbuster 2, is a 6-episode OVA by Gainax. Kazuya Tsurumaki (FLCL, Evangelion 1.0) helmed the title, while Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Summer Wars) provided character designs.
