Simulcast by Funimation
Funimation releases their dubbed version of the anime's episode during the same time frame as the Japanese episodes are released. Currently, the streaming service is available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Ireland.
Simuldubbing
Funimation produced the official English dub for all four seasons of the series so far, as well as both movies. For Season 2, the dub had a backlog of six episodes (English dub was 6 episodes behind the latest Japanese episode's airing).
In Season 3, the dubbed episodes were released on the same day as its Japanese counterpart up until the release of Episode 49 (with the original proposal being only the first six episodes of the season). After that point, the dubbed release of the season had a two-week delay for each episode. Episode 39's premiere was delayed due to a delay in receiving materials, making Episode 40 the start of the season's simuldub.
In Season 4, the dubbed episodes followed a same-day release schedule up until the release of Episode 73, followed by another week's delay after Episode 77 due to a delay in receiving materials from Japan.
