Crunchyroll has a full slate of films coming to their library this month, including the arrival of another Satoshi Kon classic, Millennium Actress. This film chronicling the life of Ginei Studios’ star actress needs no introduction, but you’ll be able to see it December 15. There is also the rare appearance of a live-action film on the list: As The Gods Will, an action horror story about a high school student who challenges the gods and is forced to play deadly games for their amusement, most of them themed around children’s activities (so it’s like Squid Game but with magic). Many of the releases are related to each other and bundled together accordingly. Two recap movies for the series Sound! Ephonium debut December 8 along with a new movie continuing that story. December 22 is Digi-Week with all six parts of the Digimon Adventure series added. You can browse the full lineup below, which includes trailers of each film. Neat!

As she recounts her career, Genya and his crew are literally pulled into her memories where they witness her chance encounter with a mysterious man on the run
