Crunchyroll has big plans for an anime-filled return to New York Comic Con at the Javits Center from October 12-15. The global anime outlet is bringing a supercharged slate of panels on new series, next-level activations, premiere screenings, new merch and more to the East Coast gathering.
On the NYCC itinerary is a top-secret My Hero Academia special screening; Crunchyroll and Toei Animation’s One Piece panel, featuring the English voices behind some of the show’s most popular villains and the debut of a new English dub episode; the U.S. premiere of Dr. STONE Season 3, Part 2; and screenings of episodes of A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, which includes an exclusive premiere of Episode 3.
The Crunchyroll Store is setting up shop at booth #1653 with 50-plus items, including all-new exclusives:
- Attack on Titan-themed watches featuring Eren and Levi
- Chainsaw Man Pochita Otaku Lamp
- New Trigun Funko Pop featuring Vash and Kuroneko
- Sailor Moon Glitter Version FiGPiN.
After shopping, attendees can snap pics at digital kiosks featuring hit anime, including One Piece, My Hero Academia, GOBLIN SLAYER II and more.
At Crunchyroll’s second booth (#1643), fans can pick up JUJUTSU KAISEN photo cards, grab posters for both Solo Leveling and A Returner’s Magic Should Be Special, and get tatted with temporary After-school Hanako-kun tattoos. Swag in hand, fans are invited to enter The JUJUTSU KAISEN Experience, where they will find themselves immersed in the world of the hit dark fantasy series.
