Fresh off announcing its latest Fall 2024 anime streaming lineup and December 2024 home video releases, Crunchyroll revealed that it has licensed MAPPA’s original anime series ZENSHU and unveiled its panel programming at this year’s New York Comic Con.



Here’s what to expect from the company at the upcoming convention:

Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom Sneak Peek 

With Crunchyroll’s return to New York Comic Con, attendees will get a sneak peek at the Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom anime film, with director Naoyuki Ito and Madhouse producer Kentaro Hashimoto making an appearance at a panel as well. The latest film in the Overlord franchise will begin screening in U.S theaters on November 8, 2024, with Crunchyroll releasing a new English-subbed trailer to promote it.

Most recently, the company and A PLUS JAPAN announced earlier this week that it will be producing a new mobile turn-based RPG called Lord of Nazarick.
