Ankama Animations has officially lifted the curtain on the international streaming distribution for Welsh & Shedar, the much-anticipated French-Japanese co-produced fantasy anime. Global audiences outside of Japan will be able to follow the epic journey via the newly launched Krosmoz YouTube channel, starting with a special two-episode premiere event this November.
The series kicks off its weekly run with Episode 1, titled “MUSHROOM PIE”, dropping on November 5, 2026, followed immediately by Episode 2, “CHEESE OMELET”, on November 6. Following this initial rollout, new episodes will premiere every Thursday through the end of the year, culminating in a 12-episode arc that stretches into January 2027.
