OceanVeil, in collaboration with KADOKAWA and Ascendent Animation, has officially announced that Nukitashi The Animation will receive an English dub. The project has been greenlit, with Ascendent Animation, a frequent dubbing partner of OceanVeil, set to lead the production. Further details regarding streaming platforms and the English voice cast are expected to be revealed at a later date.
A Highly Anticipated Dub Project
The announcement marks a significant development for fans of the viral hit anime, which originated from an adult visual novel. The partnership between OceanVeil, KADOKAWA, and Ascendent Animation signals a concerted effort to expand the anime’s reach to English-speaking audiences. While the specific release timeline for the English dub remains under wraps, the confirmation of the project has generated considerable excitement within the anime community.
Ascendent Animation, known for its expertise in anime localization, will be at the helm of the English dub’s production. Their involvement suggests a commitment to delivering a high-quality adaptation that aligns with the original Japanese series. Fans are eagerly awaiting announcements regarding the talented voice actors who will bring the characters of Nukitashi to life in English.
Diving into Nukitashi The Animation
Nukitashi The Animation is based on the adult visual novel developed by Qruppo, known by its full Japanese title Nukige Mitai na Shima ni Sunderu Watashi wa Dō Surya Ii Desuka? (informally translated as “What’s a Flat-Chested Girl Like Me to Do on an Island Straight Out of a Porn Game?”). The anime first premiered in Japan on July 19, 2025, airing on channels such as AT-X, BS11, and others.
The series is set on Seiran Island, a tropical location governed by a uniquely libertine law that encourages sexual activity. The narrative follows the protagonist, Junnosuke Tachibana, a staunch virgin who leads the secret society NLNS (No Love No Sex) in their fight to dismantle the island’s “Pervert Law” and its fervent proponents.
OceanVeil has been exclusively streaming two versions of the anime for English-speaking audiences worldwide: the “Seiran Island” version, which features the most unregulated content, and the “Fully regulated” version. A “streaming-only” version with slightly less restricted lewd elements is also available. The anime, produced by Passione, has garnered attention for its bold themes, satirical humor, and provocative take on social norms, blending absurd comedy with engaging character development.
The Growing Trend of Anime Localization
The decision to produce an English dub for Nukitashi The Animation underscores the increasing global demand for localized anime content. As streaming platforms continue to expand their international reach, English dubs play a crucial role in making anime accessible to a broader audience who may prefer to watch content in their native language. This trend reflects a booming market for Japanese animation worldwide, prompting production companies and streamers to invest more in comprehensive localization efforts.
