Crunchyroll has revealed its physical release schedule for this July. Topping the list is the second season of Vinland Saga, which premiered on streaming in January of 2023 (sometimes these things take a while). Vinland Saga: Season 2 Part 1 will be released on July 2 and contain promo videos, plus a textless version of the opening and ending songs. The first season of Vinland Saga introduced viewers to Torfinn. Throughout Season 1, Torfinn’s only goal was to kill his archenemy Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. As Season 2 opens, Askeladd is finally dead — but Torfinn didn’t do the deed. Denied his revenge, the man now wonders what his purpose is. Someone else thought “your purpose is to be my slave,” so he’s captured by landowner Ketil and forced to toil on his farmland. But there, Torfinn meets Einar, a fellow slave who convinces him to find new meaning. While that’s going on, Canute has been crowned King of England and is setting his sights on Demnark

It’s easier to cherry-pick the best from a large pre-existing library than it is to create something yourself. But Toonami thought it had a safe bet back in 2016 when it ordered the first AS-era original anime production, a revival of FLCL in the form of two additional seasons. FLCL: Progressive and FLCL: Alternative turned out to have nothing to do with the original classic; the only connection between all three was Haruko herself. Fans were not impressed, but apparently the higher-ups at AS are willing to give it another spin. Two new FLCL shows, subtitled Grunge and Shoegaze respectively, are now in production, and will premiere on Toonami sometime in 2023. Toonami might have better luck with the third
