Crunchyroll, a global leader in providing fans with the ultimate anime experiences, is immersing New York Comic Con in this fall’s hottest anime with exclusive premiere screenings, panels and free fan activations.
NYCC badge holders can be the first to see the U.S. premiere of Chainsaw Man and experience panels for smash-hit superhero series My Hero Academia and One Piece Film Red, the latest adventure from the long-running fan favorite anime. My Hero Academia will take over the Main Stage for an unforgettable live concert experience, and convention attendees can pose for photos on the show floor at two unique Crunchyroll booths with SPY x FAMILY, One Piece and Chainsaw Man photo opps.
Fans without a badge can step into scenes from My Hero Academia with bronze character monuments brought further to life with augmented reality, and show off their best cosplay looks at a Crunchyroll-sponsored Sonicboombox Cosplay Dance Party.
Players of the My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero mobile game can go “Plus Ultra” with exclusive NYCC prizes. Visit the Crunchyroll booth and use the code “NYCCTSH2022” in-game to redeem rewards, face off with new villains and discover never-before-seen Season 6 content.
