“The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED follows detective Daisuke Kambe and partner Haru Kato as they work on cases at the Modern Crime Prevention Headquarters–where only people who’ve caused problems for the police end up.
Daisuke is a bit materialistic, using his vast wealth to solve crimes, becoming ever-detached to the human element of it all. Kato, on the other hand, believes money isn’t everything, and is repulsed by Daisuke’s lack of compassion. These two investigators will have to overcome their stark differences if they’re going to solve the mysteries ahead of them!”
TAMAYOMI: The Baseball Girls

“The series follows pitcher Yomi Takeda who, after a failed attempt at climbing the ladder in a junior high baseball tournament, vows off the sport when she heads to high school.

Also joining the Funimation streaming service is an English dub for both seasons of Kaguya-sama: Love is War. Both Kaguya-sama: Love is War and The Millionaire Detective – Balance: UNLIMITED are licensed by US distributor Aniplex of America.
