Dubbing News from Crunchyroll and HIDIVE: Drops of God and Farming Life in Another World 2 Are Coming
Exciting news came from two major platforms in the anime world this week. Crunchyroll began streaming the English dub of the legendary wine-world story Drops of God (Kami no Shizuku) anime adaptation as of Friday, April 24, 2026. Meanwhile, HIDIVE announced that the English dub for the beloved 'slow life' series Farming Life in Another World 2 (Isekai Nonbiri Nouka) will begin on May 1st. Both productions aim to appeal to their expanding audiences.
Drops of God is based on a cult manga series written by Tadashi Agi (the pen name of siblings Shin and Yuko Kibayashi) and illustrated by Shu Okimoto. This production, which turned the world of wine into a battlefield, became such a phenomenon during its release that it even influenced real-world wine sales. The English voice cast includes experienced names such as Chris Guerrero (Shizuku), Taylor Shaye (Miyabi), and Reagan Murdock (Issei). This anime adaptation, produced by Studio Satelight, was a project fans of the series had been waiting for for years.
On the other hand, Farming Life in Another World 2, adapted from Kinosuke Naito's light novels, is receiving dubbing support shortly after its Japanese broadcast, which began on April 6th. The series, which was highly acclaimed for its peaceful atmosphere and farming-focused story in its first season, follows the new adventures of the main character Hiraku Machio. Produced by Studio Zero-G, the production continues to bring the success of the original work, which has sold over 5.7 million copies worldwide, to the screen. With this move, HIDIVE aims to solidify the series' popularity in the West.
These developments prove once again the importance the anime industry places on the global market. Especially the fact that niche but profound stories like Drops of God are receiving dubbing support is quite valuable in terms of genre diversity. Fans can expect both platforms to enrich their libraries with new episodes in the coming weeks. If you are looking for wine tasting or a peaceful farm life, these two productions are just for you.
