Normally we hear about anime acquisitions when the anime is already done, but today Crunchtyroll announced they’ve landed the global rights to an anticipated anime movie that won’t be released in Japan for at least six months. Why would they strike so early on this one? Because it’s the next
One of the most anticipated anime of 2022 is Chainsaw Man, the long-awaited adaption of the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Crunchyroll announced this morning it will be distributing the anime in the US when it begins airing. It may not sound like much of a surprise that it’d be Crunchyroll
You want more information on the next Dragon Ball Super movie, you got it. Toei swears they’ll return to the TV series eventually, but for now, they’re keeping the franchise burning with movies. The latest, Super Hero, is nearly done and we’ll be getting it pretty soon. Crunchyroll will be
The takeover of the Funimation library was not instantaneous. Due to contractual complications, not everything that’s on the Funimation app can cross over to the Crunchyroll app right away, and that’s the main reason why the Funi app is still a thing.

One of the weirder projects we’ve run across is a tribute to Attack On Titan from the Prescription For Sleep series. This series, created by music producers Scarlet Moon, has eleven installments so far, each one reinterpreting the soundtrack of a popular video game as smooth jazzy music to fall
With Robot Chicken having finished its latest season, there aren’t as many new premieres on Adult Swim this week — just one. On Saturday evening Toonami kicks off with another new episode of the latest AS / Crunchyroll co-production, Shenmue: The Animation. Here’s where we are in the story: “1986,
Imagine an anime dub that happens so fast that it’s available the same day as the release of the sub version. That’s the SimulDub, a miracle of modern science brought to us by Crunchyroll. The company gets the anime ahead of time and has English VAs complete their lines, then
As we went over a week ago, Crunchyroll has a lot of new anime coming in this spring, but one of the star attractions is a new series called “Spy x Family.” The series will be premiering this coming Saturday. Spy x Family follows expert secret agent Twilight, who’s on
