Oh boy, Anime Expo 2025! 🎉 Crunchyroll is gracing us with their presence, promising a “huge slew” of anime premieres and news. Because, you know, we’re all just sitting here, twiddling our thumbs, waiting for Crunchyroll to tell us what to watch. It’s not like there’s a billion other anime streaming services or anything. But hey, at least they’re bringing Let’s Play and Kaiju No. 8. Because those are definitely the only anime that matter.🙄
July is almost here, which means Anime Expo is back to Los Angeles! 🌴 It’s at the Los Angeles Convention Center, because where else would it be? Definitely not in a place that’s easy to get to or anything. 🙄 Crunchyroll, our benevolent overlords of anime streaming, will have their “humongous” booth (Booth #2526, in case you want to worship at the altar of orange). They’ll also have the Crunchyroll Stage in the Platinum Ballroom at the JW Marriott, because nothing says “anime convention” like a fancy hotel ballroom. 🥂
Crunchyroll is going to announce “all-new titles” set to stream on the platform. Groundbreaking. 🥇 They’re even going to premiere some stuff at Anime Expo, like Let’s Play, which is about gaming, because gamers totally need more representation in anime. And then there’s Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP!, because we haven’t had enough isekai anime yet. 😒 In terms of established anime series, they’re showcasing The Rising of the Shield Hero, Frieren: Beyond the Journey, The Apothecary Diaries, Dr. Stone, My Dress-Up Darling, Kaiju No. 8, and Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. Because those are definitely the only anime anyone cares about. 🚽
Let’s Play is about a game developer named Sam who gets a bad review from a streamer who then becomes her neighbor. Oh, the drama! The stakes are so high! It’s not like anyone’s trying to save the world or anything. Just dealing with social anxiety and memes. Groundbreaking. 🏆 There’s no premiere date yet, but it’s “coming out later this year.” So, mark your calendars, I guess? 🗓️
Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP! is about a guy who dies trying to save his sister and gets reincarnated with only 1 HP. Because that’s totally fair and balanced. ⚖️ He has to find his sister, because of course he does. It’s not like he could just chill in the afterlife or anything. 👻
And don’t forget Clevatess and Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse! Clevatess is about the Demon King, because we haven’t seen that before. 😈 And Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse is david production’s first original anime series, so it must be good, right? 🤷♀️
But wait, there’s more! 🎉 Crunchyroll is bringing voice actors and production staff to talk about the hottest anime series they’ve worked on. Like Yuki Aoi and Seto Asami from The Apothecary Diaries, and Megumi Ogata from Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. Because who wouldn’t want to hear them talk about anime? 🗣️
And of course, there’s the Crunchyroll booth! 🎪 It’s going to have “immersive anime experiences” for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle and Gachiakuta. Because nothing says “immersive” like standing in a crowded booth with a bunch of other sweaty anime fans. 🥵 The Crunchyroll Store will also be there, selling over 30 exclusive items. Including a Kaiju No. 8 Youtooz Vinyl Figure (Glow in the Dark Ver.). Because who doesn’t need a glow-in-the-dark Kaiju figure? 🌟
And if you can’t make it to Anime Expo, don’t worry! 😥 Crunchyroll will be posting highlights on their socials. So you can watch other people have fun while you sit at home and eat instant ramen. 🍜
