Crunchyroll is one of the biggest names in the anime industry. That’s not surprising, given just how much anime they’re streaming across 200+ countries. What’s also not a surprise is their presence at any convention anime-related. This includes AnimagiC, which is Germany’s version of the US’s Anime Expo. There, at the 2024 edition of that convention, Crunchyroll has announced a bunch of their anime acquisition news. Don’t believe me? Then let’s find out more about these new anime series of theirs, shall we?
