Anime streaming service announces first slate of Crunchyroll Originals

Anime fans rejoice.

Crunchyroll, the streaming app many use to watch hit anime shows like Yuri!! on Ice and My Hero Academia, plans to release its own slate of original programming. Crunchyroll Originals include fantasy, romance, historical fiction and other genres.

The streaming service is producing these new anime with the help of its internal animation studio, Crunchyroll Studios, which launched in August of 2018.

Oddly enough these new series aren’t Crunchyroll’s first original series. Crunchyroll has co-produced series like The Rising of the Shield Hero, A Place Further Than the Universe and The Junji ito Collection. Some of the below series are co-produced with Japanese animation studios as well.

It’s important to note that some of the series are dubbed on the platform.
