Crunchyroll releases its Winter 2024 anime lineup, including the highly anticipated Solo Leveling, A Sign of Affection, and a new arc of One Piece.
This news means X joins Crunchyroll as a streaming option for the highly anticipated Kaiju anime issue #8. Crunchyroll’s latest report similarly confirms that Kaiju No. 8 will air at the same time as the Japanese version, saying: “The series is scheduled to begin in April 2024 with Crunchyroll airs Kaiju #8 when it airs in Japan.” This approach is certainly novel, as this is the first time a full anime series has been streamed on X. The move is part of Kaiju Issue 8’s international approach, which offers English and Japanese language options for its website and social media accounts, and saw anime trailers debut in both languages at the same time.
Kaiju No. 8 has ignited excitement through trailers, character designs, and stunning character images that showcase what Production IG hopes to bring to new fans. This anime joins a series of other announcements made at Jump Festa 2024. The new trailer for My Hero Academia Season 7 debuted with the reveal that the show will premiere in Summer 2024. Blue Exorcist and baseball anime Boukyaku Battery both debuts a new trailer and Eiichiro Oda’s Monsters has a Netflix release window and new visuals.
