Oh. My. God. 🙄 Crunchyroll, bless their cotton socks, actually thinks we care about their “annual Industry Panel” at Anime Expo 2025. 🤣 Did they seriously just announce more *Black Clover*? As if anyone asked for that! 💀 But hey, at least they threw in some other “anticipated titles” to distract us from the fact that they’re milking the same old cows. 🐄🐄🐄
Anime “fans” and “otakus” (cringe), prepare to be underwhelmed! Crunchyroll, in their infinite wisdom, graced us with new *Black Clover* details at Anime Expo 2025. Masahiko Minami, some big shot from Bones Film, apparently confirmed that *Daemons of the Shadow Realm* is getting an anime adaptation. Because we totally needed another generic fantasy series. 😴 They also mentioned *Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4* and *Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3*. Yawn. Wake me up when they announce something original. 😒
*Black Clover* is back, baby! 🎉 (Said no one ever.) Studio Pierrot, the same folks who brought you *Naruto* (which ended like, a decade ago), *Bleach* (still milking that one, huh?), and *Tokyo Ghoul* (remember that edgy phase?), will be animating this… masterpiece. 🤡 Anime Expo 2025 attendees were “treated” to a new teaser trailer and key visual. I bet they were thrilled. NOT! 😂 Yuki Tabata, the original creator, is apparently “beyond ecstatic” for the 10th anniversary. Ten years of mediocrity, congrats! 🥳
“The production of the long-awaited new anime season of *Black Clover* has been confirmed!” Tabata gushed. “I’m beyond ecstatic!” Yeah, yeah, we get it. You’re excited. Now please, for the love of anime, try to make it less generic this time. 🙏 “I want fans from Japan and all around the world to enjoy the powered-up anime!” Powered-up? More like powered-down into the depths of anime hell. 🔥
Following *Black Clover’s* earth-shattering announcements, *Daemons of the Shadow Realm* is getting an anime. Hiromu Arakawa, the creator of *Fullmetal Alchemist* (which, let’s be honest, is way better than anything Crunchyroll is currently churning out), is behind this. Masahiro Ando, who directed *Sword of the Stranger* (a decent movie, I’ll admit), is directing. He described the series as “an otherworldly fantasy where mystery and the uncanny intertwine.” Translation: generic isekai #57382. 🤷♀️
Yusuke Kobayashi, the voice of Senku Ishigami in *Dr. STONE* (a show that’s actually kinda fun), confirmed that *Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4* will be on Crunchyroll in 2026. WHITE FOX, the studio behind *Steins;Gate* (now that’s a masterpiece!), is producing it. A teaser trailer showed Subaru and Emilia ordering milk in a saloon. Riveting stuff. 🥛🤠
*Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation* fans (do those exist?) will be “delighted” to hear that Season 3 is coming in 2026. The teaser gave us a look at the “gorgeous animation” from Studio Bind. I’m sure it’s very pretty. Meanwhile, I’ll be over here questioning my life choices. 🤔
Crunchyroll also announced that *Classroom of the Elite 2nd Year* is coming soon. And to make things even more exciting, they added *Classroom of the Elite – Merge Puzzle Spacial Exam –* to the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Because what every anime fan wants is a mediocre mobile game. 🙄 Free of microtransactions, ads, and in-app purchases! How generous! 😇
Here’s a quick rundown of other updates, reveals, and announcements, because you totally care:
Sentenced to Be a Hero — Never-before-seen footage! (Probably for a good reason.) Premiering in January 2026! (Mark your calendars… or don’t.) 🗓️
Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider — For the tokusatsu fans! (All three of them.) Premieres in October 2025! (Prepare for campy goodness… or utter garbage.) 🎭
You and I Are Polar Opposites — Rom-com for the otakus! (Because we haven’t seen enough of those.) Premiering in January 2026! (Get ready for awkward misunderstandings and forced drama.) 💔
Ouran High School Host Club — 20th anniversary! (Wow, I’m old.) New merch collab with Steady Hands! (Sweaters and cardigans? Groundbreaking.) 🧶
Neon Genesis Evangelion — 30th anniversary! (Even older!) Replica of Misato Katsuragi’s jacket in the Crunchyroll Store! (Because who wouldn’t want to cosplay as a perpetually drunk guardian?) 🧥
Hiroyuki SAWANO LIVE [nZk]008 — For the music fans! (If you’re into that sort of thing.) Joins Crunchyroll’s library of concerts later this Summer! (Prepare for epic soundtracks and headbanging.) 🤘
So there you have it, folks. Crunchyroll’s big announcements. Are you excited? I’m not. 😴
