Viewers in the USA and Canada can watch the show on Crunchyroll and VRV in its original Japanese dub with embedded English dub. It is also available on AniPlus for most of the South-East Asian countries. It is currently not available on Netflix though, but we are hoping they will license the show once it will finish Broadcasting.

When the Mashiro No Oto English Dub will premiere?
There is no official confirmation of whether or not Mashiro No Oto will receive an English dub or not. However taking into account the fact that Crunchyroll is streaming the anime, who are doing a lot of simuldubs of their new shows such as ‘God of Highschool’, ‘I am a Spider so What?’, it is relatively safe to say that an English dub will be announced very soon.
Synopsis for Mashiro No Oto
Shamisen is a traditional Japanese musical instrument that looks similar to a guitar. Teenager Sawamura Setsu’s grandfather who raised him and his older brother Wakana, recently passed away. His grandfather was one of the greatest Shamisen players and the two siblings grew up listening to him play and learning to play the instrument.
Since their grandfather’s death, Setsu dropped out of high school, moved to Tokyo and has been drifting, not knowing what to do besides play his Shamisen. That’s when his successful and rich mother, Umeko, storms into his life and tries to shape Setsu up. She enrolls him back into high school, but little does Setsu know that he is about to rediscover his passion for Shamisen.
