The RetroCrush channel on STIRR is currently streaming the Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon anime films.
DMR launched Samsung TV Plus platform earlier this year.
RetroCrush is a free, ad-ed video-on-demand service available in the United States and Canada. The service has apps on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, adding 10 new anime titles in July.
DMR stated to ANN that its goal with the streaming service is to "serve as a community built for the consumption and discussion of the Golden Age of Japanese animation, (and some not so retro), from the perspectives of pop culture, fandom, art, internet memes & more."
The service plans to include a library of content that "hasn't had proper streaming releases outside of Japan."
RetroCrush's streaming partners include Happinet, among others.
