Crunchyroll’s Newly Acquired Titles

Nyaight of the Living Cat

According to the manga titled “Night of the Living Cat,” which was developed by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots, this post-apocalyptic fantasy is set in a world where a virus transforms individuals into cats upon contact. Notably, the crew boasts some intriguing names, such as live-action film director Takashi Miike serving as executive director, while Tomohiro Kamiya takes on the director’s role for the first time in his career.

Magic Maker: How to Make Magic in Another World

According to the light novel “Magic Maker ~Isekai Magic Crafting~” by Kazuki Kaburagi, the story revolves around a man who meets an untimely death on his 30th birthday and is reborn as Sion, the son of a humble noble family in an uncharted fantasy realm. Alongside his sister, Marie, Sion embarks on a journey to learn magic, fulfilling a long-held dream from his past life: mastering the mystical arts.

Grisaia Phantom Trigger

In the passage of time since “The Fruit of Grisaia,” an organization named SORD (Special Organization for Research & Development), which serves as a training school focusing on nurturing talent for national security, has taken over what was previously known as Mihama Academy. Among its students, Rena and Maki excel in firearms, Toka and Gumi are exceptional snipers, Chris demonstrates proficiency in data processing and explosives, while Murasaki is a highly skilled ninja with expertise in espionage. This eclectic group is frequently sought out by the police and Self-Defense Forces when conventional methods fail to address intricate predicaments, thus exposing these young women to life-threatening scenarios on a routine basis.

Farmagia

In the game Farmagia, created by Hiro Mashima, who is also behind Fairy Tail, and Akihiko Sano, chief director of FAIRY TAIL ZERO, the story revolves around the residents of Felicidad land, known as farmers. They are unique in that they raise monsters under the benevolent rule of the Magus Dilculucum. However, after his demise, different factions vie for control, causing chaos. This leads our protagonist, Ten and his companions, to resist the tyrannical reign of Glaza by employing their self-nurtured monsters as a means to protect their cherished freedom.

Teogonia

In a world reminiscent of the light novel series “Teogonia,” penned by Tsukasa Tanimai with illustrations by Koichiro Kawano, and later adapted into an anime by Shunsuke Aoyama in 2018, we find ourselves immersed in a fantasy isekai. Here, humans valiantly defend their territory against encroaching demi-human tribes. A young man named Kai, hailing from the village of Lag, becomes embroiled in this struggle when he decides to join the fray. As his fellow warriors are relentlessly defeated, Kai himself gets wounded on the battlefield. However, during the heat of battle, an unusual memory from another life resurfaces within him.

World Premiere Trailers Revealed at the Event

Crunchyroll Also Showed Trailers For Highly-Anticipated Titles

During their presentation, Crunchyroll excited fans by premiering exclusive trailers for the upcoming third season of Fire Force, the anime ZENSHU focusing on an animator facing challenges in her studio’s new project with an interesting twist; and lastly, they revealed a sneak peek into To Be Hero X, featuring teams collaborating globally on the project. This series takes place in a world where heroes are defined by their trust, shaping their abilities.

In this fictional world, if individuals believe a hero possesses flight capabilities, they may acquire such powers. Conversely, should a hero with extraordinary talents lose public confidence, they could potentially lose their abilities as well. Trust is accumulated like data in this universe, and every two years, the most esteemed heroes participate in a tournament known as “The Hero Tournament.” Their performance during these competitions influences their trust rating, and the highest-ranked hero is bestowed the title of “X”. The animation studio responsible for creating this thrilling series is BeDream, with Li Haolin serving as its director. The premiere of the show is scheduled on Crunchyroll in January 2025.

Apart from releasing the trailer for “To Be Hero X,” Crunchyroll will also start streaming the second season of “Unnamed Memory” starting January. Additionally, they have acquired the rights to show the dark epic fantasy movie “Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK” in select regions such as Latin America (including Brazil), North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Australia/New Zealand. This film, a compilation of the final episodes adapted from the last five chapters of Hajime Isayama’s “Attack on Titan” manga, is scheduled for release in early 2025.
