Attendees will be able to watch episodes from upcoming July 2026 anime releases before they begin streaming on Crunchyroll. All screenings will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
Among the featured titles is Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, which was newly announced as part of the event lineup. The anime follows Mitsuki Aya, a student at the prestigious Kuromi Girls’ Academy whose image of the school’s perfect role model, Yorue Mio, is shattered after discovering that she is secretly a hardcore fighting game player.
The screening will also include a preview of Skeleton Knight in Another World Season 2. The fantasy series follows Arc, a gamer who awakens in another world inside the skeletal body of his MMO character and attempts to live quietly as a mercenary while repeatedly finding himself drawn into conflicts and acts of injustice.
Another featured title is Clevatess Season 2, continuing the fantasy story of the Dark Beast Lord Clevatess, who unexpectedly becomes responsible for both a revived hero and an orphaned human child after helping set the world on the brink of destruction. The second season is scheduled to begin airing in July.
The Crunchyroll Anime Nights program runs in more than 280 theaters across participating chains in the U.S. and Canada, including AMC Theatres, Regal, Cinemark, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins Theatres, Landmark Cinemas, and Cineplex.
