Summer is just around the corner, kicking off on July 1, and that means it’s time to dive into new anime! Crunchyroll has just dropped its latest summer streaming calendar, and it’s packed with exciting news for fans. Not only do we get the exact streaming times for beloved series like My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4, and Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 4, but over 50 shows in total will be making their way to the service!
Among the much-anticipated titles returning this summer is CloverWorks’My Dress-Up Darling, alongside fresh new series that will make anime lovers, young and old, absolutely giddy. Let’s break down some of the interesting additions to the line-up you won’t want to miss!
- Puniru Is a Kawaii Slime Season 2 — Premiering on July 6 at 3 a.m. (PT)
- Uglymug, Epicfighter — Expected on July 6 (time TBD)
- Mr. Osomatsu Season 4 — Scheduled for July 8 at 10 a.m. (PT)
- Tougen Anki — Coming July 11 at 8:30 a.m. (PT)
- Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai 15 — Arriving on July 13 (time TBD)
The new titles add a refreshing dose of variety to the Crunchyroll catalog, which already has a diverse selection of genres ranging from slice-of-life comedies to epic fantasies. For example, Puniru Is a Kawaii Slime delightfully plays out the story of a slime that turns into a beautiful girl, making life quite amusing for protagonist Kotaro Kawaii. On the other hand, Uglymug, Epicfighter features a quirky take on the isekai genre, following socially awkward Shigeru as he jumps into a fantasy world where he can finally be the hero he was meant to be.
But that’s not all! Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai 15 delves deep into eerie urban legends from Japanese lore which sounds both thrilling and terrifying. Then there’s Tougen Anki—a dark fantasy centering on a half-oni seeker of revenge after the ruthless
Momotarou Agency takes his father’s life. This one’s based on the popular manga series, Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood, which first hit the scene in Weekly Shonen Champion in June 2020.
Crunchyroll also shifted a few premiere dates to kick off earlier than expected! One anticipated title, Private Tutor to the Duke’s Daughter, originally set for July 5, hit the screens on June 28 instead. Plus, they’ve confirmed that fans can catch the OVA for Production I.G.’sKaiju No. 8 streaming as well! Titled Hoshina’s Day Off, it airs on July 5 at 7 a.m. (PT).
And let’s not overlook My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, premiering July 5 at 9:30 a.m. (PT), a show every romance anime fan will definitely want to catch. For those who enjoy slice-of-life vibes, See You Tomorrow At the Food Court will have its debut on July 7 at 6 a.m. (PT), following two unlikely pals bonding over their daily lunches.
