Crunchyroll announced licensing a few anime this spring season.
The biggest of them is definitely KonoSuba, but most of Europe will not get it.
Others include A Condition Called Love, Kurayakaba and Kuramerukagari.
Crunchyroll is the largest anime streaming platform out there. As such, every season, fans wonder which anime are going to be streamed there. Of course, series like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu) will be on Crunchyroll just like before.
It’s also safe to assume they will get My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) S7 — while there was no official confirmation, the series has been on Crunchyroll every time so far.
While it’s a bit too early to speculate about where the Spring 2024 anime are going to be streamed, Crunchyroll did announce some of their pickups already (but not all of them). Fans are surprised about them — but mostly hyped.
KonoSuba
Perhaps the biggest of the announced Crunchyroll licenses is the third season of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!). Of course, it was already expected: the first two seasons, the movie and the spin-off were on Crunchyroll as well. However, fans are still happy to see a confirmation.
One potential issue with the license is that in the official announcement by Crunchyroll, most of Europe is actually excluded. That makes European fans worried about being able to watch the anime legally.
A Condition Called Love
Another anime Crunchyroll is picking up is A Condition Called Love (Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai). If you like A Sign of Affection (Yubisaki to Renren) this season, this might be the anime for you — it’s another wholesome shoujo romance series.
Unlike the third season of KonoSuba, A Condition Called Love is going to be licensed in most of Europe. Shoujo fans are happy about this announcement, as it indicates people being interested in their demographic.
Kurayakaba and Kuramerukagari
Perhaps the most surprising part of the announcement is Crunchyroll licensing the recently announced Kurayakaba and Kuramerukagari movies.
While movie licenses aren’t uncommon, it’s rare to see them that soon after the Japanese release. These two are premiering in Japan on April 12, while Crunchyroll lists them for “Spring 2024.” If we’re lucky, we may even get them on the same day.
The movies follow a very unusual format of being related to each other — watching both will enhance the experience. Naturally, Crunchyroll is licensing both. As the director and the studio behind them is relatively unknown, they were probably relatively easy to license — and fans are excited as the writer of Durarara!! and Baccano! is involved
One of these pickups is very surprising.
