Anime has gone mainstream. If you need proof, then look no further than Sony’s $1.175 billion acquisition of the anime streaming service Crunchyroll in 2021. While Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Max have all expanded their selection of Japanese animation content, no service can really compete with Crunchyroll when it comes to the quantity of shows and movies. With that in mind, here’s everything new on Crunchyroll for the spring 2024 season.
As always, there are many popular shows returning this season, including Spice and Wolf, Laid-Back Camp, The Irregular at Magic High School, KonoSuba, and Black Butler.
The most anticipated new release is Kaiju No. 8, which is about childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro joining Japan’s Anti-Kaiju Defense Force to fight the monsters causing havoc in their home country. One day, Kafka consumes a small kaiju and gains the ability to turn into one, at which point he is given the codename “Kaiju No. 8.”
There are also a number of TV shows continuing from the winter 2024 season, such as Captain Tsubasa season 2, Case Closed, and, of course, One Piece.
