Blockchain platform Replay is bringing hit anime Yu-Gi-Oh! to its flagship Web3 streaming service Rewarded.tv.
In its mission to reimagine video for Web3, Replay allows users to watch the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! amongst other popular shows available live and on-demand on Rewarded.tv including Luther, Drink Champs and Dragnet.
Krish Arvapally, CEO of Replay said, “We could not be more excited to be bringing Yu-Gi-Oh! to the Rewarded.tv audience. Replay is all about gamifying the streaming experience, to make watching movies and shows more fun and more rewarding. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the perfect fit.”
Earn rewards as you watch
Fans of Yu-Gi-Oh! can watch their favourite episodes of the anime series while earning rewards, digital collectables and badges for the time spent viewing and sharing content. This is done using Rewarded.tv’s gamified approach to content discovery.
Rewarded.TV has partnered with Konami Cross Media NY., which produces the series and sells it in the US. This partnership allows Replay to bring up to five seasons of the iconic Yu-Gi-Oh! to Rewarded.tv.
“We’ve debuted a slate of Season 1 episodes for early access, exclusive to Replay users. Soon, the entire original series will be made available for public viewing on Rewarded.tv,” Replay wrote.
Created by Kazuo Takahashi in 1996 as a manga series, the franchise went on to expand into numerous TV shows, spin-off manga and video games. It has achieved impressive financial success and currently ranks among the highest-grossing franchises of its kind.
Yu-Gi-Oh! will be available on Rewarded.tv across smart TV devices, including Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku, as well as on mobile and web and you can watch it here.
