FAQ
Is it available in Japan? Yes. The official Japanese distribution list identifies multiple Japan services, and this guide links direct pages where they were verified. Is Crunchyroll the Japan option? No. This guide scopes Crunchyroll to supported territories because the exact title page was unavailable from Japan.

Watching While Traveling
Catalogs are licensed by territory. Use legitimate subscriptions, protect your account on public Wi-Fi, and follow each service’s terms and local rules; travel does not guarantee that a title will be available in every catalog.
Official Sources Checked
- Official I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! on-air page — official Japan distribution and timing source.
- ABEMA direct title page and d Anime Store direct title page — Japan title-specific pages.
- Crunchyroll series page — supported-territory route, not Japan evidence.
Bottom Line
Start with Crunchyroll if you are in a supported territory. In Japan, begin with a direct local listing such as ABEMA, d Anime Store, or another linked Japan service, and use the official distribution list for the wider rollout.
