Iruma-kun<\/em> season three. Other titles available on Bento are <em>Mob Psycho 100<\/em>, <em>Assassination Classroom<\/em>, <em>Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventures<\/em>, <em>Barangay 143<\/em>, <em>Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em>, <em>Sing Yesterday for Me<\/em> and <em>Horimiya<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the launch of Bento, POPTV is introducing AVOD and PVOD packages that offer both ad-supported and premium viewing. Bento\u2019s premium subscription will be offered at an introductory price of P79 or P119 if bundled with POPTV\u2019s main SVOD service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFilipinos are among the top consumers of anime content in the world,\u201d said Jyotirmoy Saha, founder of August Media Holdings and POPTV. \u201cBento has been created to address that market. A comprehensive anime service that makes titles available easily and cheaply (or for free) is the best defense for anime IP owners against widespread piracy. Our launch slate of over a hundred titles will continue to grow through the next few quarters until we become the ultimate destination for Filipino anime fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want Filipinos to have effortless access to the best anime in the world,\u201d added Jackeline Chua, COO of POPTV. \u201cWe want to enable anime fans to be able to express their love for anime and get fulfillment without having to rely on dubious sources. We have a lot in store for the Filipino anime fan community that we will progressively roll out over the months to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore-based August Media Holdings\u2019 VOD service POPTV is set to launch Bento, an anime channel offering hundreds of titles, in the Philippines on October 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":6499,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1648,1649,1650],"class_list":["post-6498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-august-media-holdings","tag-bento","tag-poptv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>POPTV Launching Anime Channel - TVASIA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"POPTV Launching Anime Channel - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Singapore-based August Media Holdings\u2019 VOD service POPTV is set to launch Bento, an anime channel offering hundreds of titles, in the Philippines on October 26.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-10-25T15:33:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/POPTV-BentoLogo-1022.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/\",\"name\":\"POPTV Launching Anime Channel - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-10-25T15:33:02+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-10-25T15:33:02+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/poptv-launching-anime-channel\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"POPTV Launching Anime Channel\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\",\"name\":\"TVASIA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
