Crunchyroll Reveal Anime Line-Up For Winter 2022
Hot on the heels of Funimation's reveal earlier this week, anime streaming service Crunchyroll has announced the first wave of titles for their Winter 2022 slate. The season will be headlined by Attack On Titan: The Final Season Part 2 and the continuing Demon Slayer Kimetsu No Yaiba: Entertainment District Arc both of which will simulcast on Crunchyroll as well as Funimation and Hulu (in the US). Crunchyroll will also add Wit Studio's fantasy Ranking Of Kings and The Case Study of Vanitas- both originally Funimation exclusively belatedly joining Crunchyroll's library, and simulcasting new episodes going forward.
My Dress-Up Darling, Sabikui Bisco, Akebi's Sailor Uniform and Tokyo 24th Ward, all previously announced for simulcast on Funimation will also be available via Crunchyroll. A slate of new shows has also been revealed but it's unclear which (if any) will be exclusive to Crunchyroll, or whether they will also be announced on Funimation at a later time. These are World End's Harem. Love Of Kill, The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest, Miss KUROITSU from the Monster Development Department, Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy and Cue!
Crunchyroll Originals FreakAngels and Orient will join the ongoing Blade Runner: Black Lotus in the site's growing library of co-productions and in-house original series.
Long-running simulcasts including One Piece, Case Closed, Boruto Naruto Next Generations and YashaHime Princess Half Demon will also continue into the new year.
The full line-up so far is below, with their synopsis from Crunchyroll.
