Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Gets Hindi, Tamil, Telugu Dubs on Crunchyroll India

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood arrives on Crunchyroll India on July 27, 2026, with newly produced Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs. The release marks the first time the celebrated anime has been made available in Tamil and Telugu.

A Milestone for Anime in India

The 2009 adaptation by studio Bones, directed by Yasuhiro Irie, is widely regarded as one of the greatest anime ever produced. Unlike the earlier 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist series, Brotherhood follows Hiromu Arakawa's manga faithfully through to its conclusion. The original run spanned April 2009 to July 2010 across 64 episodes.

While Hindi-dubbed anime has steadily grown on streaming platforms in India, Tamil and Telugu dubs remain relatively uncommon for legacy titles. Bringing Brotherhood to audiences in all three languages represents a significant push to expand anime's reach across the Indian subcontinent.

Voice Cast Details

Crunchyroll revealed the voice casts for all three language tracks alongside the announcement. The leads for the Elric brothers and Colonel Roy Mustang are confirmed across each dub.

In the Hindi version, Anubhav Rawat voices protagonist Edward Elric, Hitanshi Jha takes on the role of Alphonse Elric, and Abhineet Shukla portrays Roy Mustang.

For the Tamil dub, Roshan N plays Edward, Nikkilesh P voices Alphonse, and Deepak M steps into the role of Mustang.

The Telugu cast features Sai Abhijith S as Edward, Nikkilesh P again as Alphonse - notably pulling double duty across the Tamil and Telugu tracks - and Naresh B as Mustang.

The full ensemble casts for supporting characters were also shared, though the three leads anchor each dub's identity.

Rollout Schedule

Rather than dropping all 64 episodes at once, Crunchyroll is adopting a staggered release model. An initial batch of dubbed episodes premieres on July 27, with new batches arriving every three weeks thereafter. The exact number of episodes per batch has not been specified, but the cadence suggests the full run will roll out over several months.

The staggered approach mirrors strategies Crunchyroll has used for other dubbed catalog titles in the Indian market, allowing localization teams to maintain quality across the lengthy series while still giving fans a substantial chunk of episodes to start with.

What Brotherhood Offers New Viewers

For Indian viewers encountering the series for the first time through these dubs, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric as they search for a way to restore their bodies after a disastrous attempt at forbidden alchemy. Their journey pulls them into a sprawling conspiracy involving the military government of the fictional nation of Amestris.

The series balances action, political intrigue, and emotional storytelling across its 64-episode run, building to a conclusion that faithfully adapts the manga's ending. It consistently ranks among the highest-rated anime on major tracking platforms and has remained a cornerstone recommendation for newcomers to the medium.

Looking Ahead

The first batch of Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubbed episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood goes live on Crunchyroll India on July 27, with subsequent batches following on a three-week cycle. The release adds Brotherhood to Crunchyroll's growing library of Indian-language anime dubs and gives one of the medium's most acclaimed series its widest accessibility yet in the region.
