Crunchyroll is making one of its largest Anime Expo appearances. The anime streaming company has released its full programming lineup for the event.
It will feature some of the industry’s biggest titles such as The Apothecary Diaries, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Gachiakuta, and Witch Hat Atelier. It will also feature newer series such as Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You, Firefly Wedding, The Ogre’s Bride and Overgeared.
It’s hard to ignore the magnitude of what Crunchyroll is aiming to do. The streaming service will “transform the Peacock Theater [in Los Angeles] into a dedicated anime destination featuring the most prominent titles in the medium” on July 3-4. The planned programming will cover more than 20 blocks full of “iconic creators, beloved voice actors, exciting announcements and first looks.” This includes The Apothecary Diaries panels and a preview of Gachiakuta. It also includes a deep dive into Daemons of the Shadow Realm and a session with the creator and cast of Witch Hat Atelier.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle will be in the sights, as well. The film will be part of a special event featuring its voice cast alongside a video look at the film’s production with studio ufotable. The event is also slated to host a sneak peek of footage from ufotable’s newest film project as well.
Exciting for In Person Fans
Fans who attend in person will have plenty to be excited about. Crunchyroll will introduce its Dubbing Dojo voice acting experience. This interactive experience lets fans go behind the mic. They can try to dub scenes from Attack on Titan, BLUE LOCK, Sentenced to Be a Hero, Solo Leveling and more. Other interaction hub experiences will be laser focused on Daemons of the Shadow Realm and Witch Hat Atelier.
Crunchyroll has also confirmed that it will bring new platform titles Goodbye, Lara and Tomb Raider King to the front end in July. Both titles will be part of the Anime Expo lineup.
There is also an unexpected publishing partnership at the heart of it all. Crunchyroll News and Newtype magazine have partnered to produce a summer 2026 special issue that will be on sale for free at the Crunchyroll booth.
Anime Expo 2026 will take place on July 3rd and 4th in Los Angeles. For a franchise such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle that is experiencing huge global traction. A series such asThe Apothecary Diaries that has a fervent cult following. This is a sign that Crunchyroll is treating both properties as key franchises. They are coming into the summer season.
