Crunchyroll makes announces many acquisitions at Anime NYC 2023 Panel, including Tower of God Season 2, Dr. Stone Season 3 Part 2. Goblin Slayer II and more.

But there are some interesting trends. More manga webtoons are being adapted into anime these days…the new hit Tower of God started as one, and more adaptions are on the way: “Solo Leveling” is scheduled for next January and “True Beauty” will be simulcast later in 2024. A dub was confirmed for the My Hero Academia special “U/A Heroes Battle” and something called “Senpai is an Otokonoko” was announced for later in the year. Their full Anime NYC list
