Crunchyroll has made several exciting announcements regarding its upcoming anime acquisitions and releases. During their New York Comic Con panel, the streaming giant revealed plans to expand its library with highly anticipated titles and exclusive theatrical events.
The company has confirmed that it will stream the third season of the popular anime Oshi no Ko. The previous seasons of this series were exclusively available on HIDIVE, but fans can now look forward to watching the latest installment on Crunchyroll. The trailer for the upcoming season has already generated significant buzz among anime enthusiasts.
In addition to Oshi no Ko, Crunchyroll has secured the worldwide theatrical rights to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea. This film is the second in the franchise and will be co-streamed in theaters by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Crunchyroll. While specific dates for the theatrical release have not yet been announced, fans are eagerly awaiting more information.
Crunchyroll has also announced plans to stream several other anime titles, further enriching its content library. The company recently addressed concerns about subtitle discrepancies on its service, attributing the issues to internal system problems. They are working diligently to resolve these technical challenges to ensure a seamless viewing experience for their subscribers.
The first anime adaptation of Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari’s Oshi no Ko manga premiered in Japan in April 2023 with a 90-minute first episode. HIDIVE streamed the anime as it aired in Japan and also provided an English dub, which became the streaming service’s most successful series launch in its history. The second season of Oshi no Ko premiered in July 2024 on Tokyo MX and over 29 other channels throughout Japan. HIDIVE continued to stream the anime as it aired and also provided an English dub. The third season is set to stream in January 2026.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea, the second film in the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime franchise, is scheduled to open in Japan on February 27.
