Robot Warriors

Robot Warriors is a Japanese/Canadian anime television series produced by Studio Aura and YTV Family. The anime was YTV Family's first original anime series (previous anime dubs co-produced by YTV Family were based off other anime that first aired outside Canada).

The anime was initially confirmed for The CW, as part of the Nickelodeon Family on The CW block, in the United States. However, on September 30th, 2018, it was instead announced that the series would instead air new episodes on the flagship Nickelodeon Family channel, as part of the then-new NickFamily Anime block (a soft-reboot of the former channel of the same name that was since rebranded into OrbitAnime).

On May 10th, 2019, upon episode 31 being aired, it was announced that the anime would go on a hiatus and come back as Robot Warriors II on October 11th, 2019 (originally set for August 9th, 2019, but was delayed due to various issues). Coincidentally, it was announced in December 2019 that Robot Warriors II would be the last season.

In May 2020, it was announced that the final two episodes, originally set to air on May 1st and 8th, 2020, would be delayed until June 5th and 12th, 2020 respectively as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the 2021 NFUpfront, it was announced that the series would get a sequel anime, titled Robot Warriors NX: The Continuing Legacy. Studio Aura Kyoto, YTV 2, and Nickelodeon Family would return to produce the anime. Alongside a projected Summer 2022 release date, Crunchyroll, Funimation, and Flare+ were confirmed to simulcast Robot Warriors NX concurrent with the US broadcast, but in March 2022 Funimation was dropped from the simulcast partners due to its library moving to Crunchyroll.

In preparation for the premiere of NX, the uncut version of the first two Robot Warriors series (which previously went unreleased) would premiere in April 2022 via AuraNightfall (dubbed), Crunchyroll, and Flare+ (subtitled).
