Crunchyroll, the home of anime worldwide, held its Industry Panel last weekend in Paris at the Japan Expo 2024. During the panel, Crunchyroll announced four highly anticipated new Japanese anime series acquisitions that it will release to fans worldwide in the upcoming fall season.
Here is the list of synopses for the new anime coming to Crunchyroll:
Demon Lord 2099
The cyberpunk metropolis of Shinjuku, an imposing city-state filled with neon signs and towering skyscrapers, boasts the most dazzling technology. It is here that, in the year 2099 of the Fused era, the legendary demon king Veltol is reborn after five centuries of preparation. But the landscape is vastly different from the world he once conquered long ago, as the fusion of magic and technology has led to a surge in human society. Veltol had become just a footnote, but there is no doubt… this new world will be his!
Mechanical Arms
The middle school life of Hikaru changes drastically when he meets Alma, an alien entity that looks like a mechanical limb belonging to a race called Mecha-Ude. Alma, a member of a rare species, is fleeing from a sinister group hunting their kind to gain boundless power. This strange duo is tasked by the resistance group ARMS to save the Mecha-Ude.
