Black Clover Season 2 Officially Sets October 2026 Premiere — Coming to Crunchyroll in Singapore

Leave a comment

After a five-year wait, Black Clover Season 2 is officially happening — and we finally have a premiere window. The new season is confirmed for October 2026, with Crunchyroll streaming it exclusively outside Japan, which means Singapore fans will be watching weekly alongside the rest of the world.

The Official Confirmation — Published Today in Weekly Shōnen Jump

The announcement landed in Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 29 (dated June 15, 2026) and was confirmed simultaneously via the official Black Clover X account (@bclover_PR). The release window is October 2026, placing it squarely in the Fall 2026 anime season. A specific premiere date has not yet been announced, but the October window means we are roughly three and a half months away from new episodes.

Director Ayataka Tanemura and the Core Team Are Back

Studio Pierrot is returning as the animation studio — the same house behind Naruto, BLEACH, and the original 170-episode Black Clover run. Director Ayataka Tanemura, who helmed the final stretch of Season 1 (episodes 153–170) and directed the beloved 2023 film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, is back in the chair. The core production team is also reassembled, with Keiichiro Ochi returning for series composition and Itsuko Takeda handling character design.

As covered by Anime Corner from the official announcement, director Tanemura said: “Once again, I’ll be serving as director! Will Asta and the others finally return after such a long time? We’re pushing ourselves beyond our limits in production so that we can show you an even more powerful story!”

Anime Expo 2026 — World Premiere of Episode 1 on July 4

If you happen to be in Los Angeles for Anime Expo 2026, there’s a very good reason to clear your July 4 schedule: a special panel will screen the world premiere of Black Clover Season 2’s first episode, with Asta’s Japanese voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara and director Tanemura appearing live on stage. For everyone else, the weekly broadcast begins in October — Crunchyroll has confirmed exclusive international streaming rights.

If you want to catch up before it drops, check out the other anime we’ve been covering for the Fall 2026 season.

Last Words

Black Clover has always punched above its weight in Singapore. The original run had consistent viewership here, and the 2023 film performed well across Southeast Asia — so a full Season 2 is genuinely big news for local fans. Crunchyroll’s international simulcast means Singapore viewers get new episodes at the same time as Japan, no waiting for localised releases. October is roughly when the school holidays kick in too, which means the timing could not be much better for a long-running shonen marathon. Set a reminder, and keep an eye on the official Black Clover X account for the specific premiere date once it drops.

Though I Am an Inept Villainess Arrives on Netflix Singapore on 12 July

Leave a comment

Good news for Singapore Netflix subscribers who love palace intrigue. Though I Am an Inept Villainess (ふつつかな悪女ではございますが ～雛宮蝶鼠とりかえ伝～) is landing on Netflix Singapore on 12 July 2026, with Toho Entertainment Asia today confirming the series as part of their Asian streaming lineup. It is a body-swap palace drama from Doga Kobo that has quietly become one of the Summer 2026 anime season’s most-anticipated titles.

Though I Am an Inept Villainess | Main Trailer [ENG SUB] | Premieres July 12, 2026 — via TOHO animation on YouTube

The Story: Two Court Rivals, One Body Swap

Based on Satsuki Nakamura’s light novel — a series that has sold over 3 million copies and won the grand prize in the light novel category at NTT Solmare’s 2023 competition — the story is set in a royal training institution steeped in court politics and rivalry. Kou Reirin is the court butterfly: beautiful, kind, and adored by all. Her counterpart Shu Keigetsu is the envious court rat who uses magic to swap their bodies. What unfolds is a story of crossed identities, unexpected empathy, and palace scheming told from two very different points of view.

Production: Doga Kobo, a Veteran Director, and milet on the Theme

The anime is directed by Mitsue Yamazaki at Doga Kobo — the studio known for delivering polished character-driven productions — with character design by Ai Kikuchi. The voice cast features Manaka Iwami as Kou Reirin, Natsumi Kawaida as Shu Keigetsu, and Makoto Furukawa as Ei Gyomei.

One extra pull for Singapore fans: the opening theme, Sunny, is performed by milet — the Japanese singer-songwriter whose work on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba built a devoted following across Southeast Asia. It is the kind of casting that signals the production is aiming for mainstream reach beyond the usual light-novel fanbase.

Where Singapore Fans Can Watch

The series premieres on Netflix Singapore on 12 July 2026 as part of Toho Entertainment Asia’s regional release. Viewers in North America, Europe, and most other Western markets will find the series on Crunchyroll instead. The anime was originally slated for April 2026 before a production delay pushed it to its current summer slot.

Last Words

With Doga Kobo behind the production, a 3-million-copy light novel as source material, and milet on the opening credits, Though I Am an Inept Villainess looks like a well-packaged summer pick for Singapore Netflix subscribers who enjoy fantasy romance with a political edge. Block out 12 July, and check our anime coverage for more Summer 2026 season roundups.

Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton — The Vampire Survivors Dev’s Culling Game

Leave a comment

The studio behind Vampire Survivors has partnered with Shueisha Games to bring Jujutsu Kaisen into the survivors genre — and thrown a battle royale twist on top. Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton was announced at the Nintendo Direct on 9 June 2026, and it looks unlike any JJK game before it.

JUJUTSU KAISEN RUMBLE: SURVIVATON – Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 — via Nintendo of America on YouTube

What Is Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton?

Developed by poncle — the UK studio whose auto-attack game Vampire Survivors kept a generation of players up past midnight — and published by Shueisha Games, Survivaton takes the survivors formula and adds a competitive edge. Up to eight players compete simultaneously on a shared map, mowing down cursed spirits to rack up points. When you hit 100 points, you earn the right to add a new rule to the match. Rules can disable rival players’ attacks, reverse their controls, or steal their accumulated points outright.

It is a direct nod to the Culling Game arc in Gege Akutami’s manga: participants there could rewrite the rules of the game itself to gain the upper hand. The twist is that reaching 100 points is not a win condition — it is a power move. The actual fight for survival continues, now shaped by whatever chaos the leading player has introduced.

Characters and Techniques

The game launches with over 20 playable characters from across the Jujutsu Kaisen roster. Names confirmed from the announcement trailer include Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki, and Satoru Gojo — whose voice rings out in the opening cutscene. Each character brings their own skill set, and additional fighters can be unlocked through in-game conditions as you play.

Controls are deliberately stripped back: you move, your character attacks automatically. The depth comes from levelling up mid-match and choosing from randomised skill options, plus filling a gauge to unleash signature techniques — Domain Expansion and Black Flash among them. Boss encounters spawn on the map to keep things unpredictable, and when the dust settles, the top two survivors face off in a direct duel for the win.

Platforms, Modes, and Release Window

Jujutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam in 2026 — no specific release date has been confirmed yet. The game supports up to 8-player online multiplayer alongside a solo mode, and the confirmed language list includes English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Southeast Asian players, Singapore included, are covered on all fronts.

As reported by Anime News Network at the time of the announcement, this is poncle’s first collaboration with a major anime IP. The studio’s previous title — Vampire Survivors — shipped to enormous commercial and critical success across platforms, which makes this crossover a serious proposition rather than a branded cash-in. Pricing has not been announced.

Last words

For Singapore JJK fans who felt the Culling Game arc hit differently — a game where you can literally change the rules mid-fight to crush your rivals is built for you. Keep an eye on the official Survivaton site for the release date and pricing as we get closer to launch. For more anime game news, visit our news section.

Ghost in the Shell Anime Premieres 7 July on Prime Video — Ending Theme Revealed

Leave a comment

Science SARU’s highly anticipated Ghost in the Shell anime just dropped its fourth promotional video — and with it, the reveal of an ending theme nobody saw coming: “Blue” by MILLENNIUM PARADE, featuring Canadian-Japanese artist Saya Gray and Grammy-winner Daniel Caesar. With the premiere locked in for 7 July 2026 on Amazon Prime Video worldwide, Singapore fans have less than four weeks to wait.

Ghost in the Shell — 4th Promotional Video｜via バンダイナムコフィルムワークス チャンネル on YouTube

What the New Ghost in the Shell 2026 Anime PV Reveals

The fourth PV centres on the emotional and psychological core of the story. Set in 2029, the series follows Motoko Kusanagi — a full-body cyborg officer — as she and her newly formed Public Security Section 9 come up against the Puppet Master, a mysterious hacker capable of overwriting human memories. The promo hints at the identity drama that made the original manga and 1995 film so enduring: just how much humanity remains in a mind that can be copied, hacked, or replaced?

Director Mokochan and Science SARU are leaning hard into a retro, manga-faithful aesthetic — rugged linework, dense urban cityscapes, and action sequences that feel closer to Masamune Shirow’s original 1989–1991 manga than to the painterly melancholy of the Mamoru Oshii film. The Fuchikoma AI tanks (called Tachikoma in later entries) are back in their original four-legged form.

“Blue” — An Ending Theme That Spans Three Continents

The ending theme is a genuine surprise. MILLENNIUM PARADE is the creative collective of Daiki Tsuneta, frontman of King Gnu and a musician with existing ties to the Ghost in the Shell universe — MILLENNIUM PARADE previously contributed music to Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. The track “Blue” features Saya Gray, a Canadian-Japanese multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who formerly toured as bassist for Daniel Caesar, and Daniel Caesar himself, the Grammy Award-winning Canadian R&B artist.

According to the official Ghost in the Shell global site, production on “Blue” began around three years ago with Tsuneta and Saya Gray, with Daniel Caesar joining the collaboration later. The result is an ending theme that crosses Japanese pop, R&B, and indie-soul — fitting for a series asking big questions about identity and borders.

When and Where to Watch — Singapore Included

Ghost in the Shell premieres on 7 July 2026 in Japan (Fuji TV / Kansai TV broadcast, with an early Prime Video window in Japan ahead of the TV airing). Amazon Prime Video holds worldwide streaming rights — excluding Russia and China — meaning Singapore subscribers should be able to watch from day one. Prime Video Singapore has not issued a separate local announcement at time of writing; if that changes, we’ll update this post.

Before the streaming launch, the first two episodes make an early world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (21–27 June, France). A second early screening is set for Anime Expo in Los Angeles on 4 July 2026, with director Mokochan and character designer Shuhei Handa present for a Q&A — for those of you making the trip.

The Team Behind It

The series is produced by Science SARU alongside a production committee that includes Bandai Namco Filmworks, Kodansha, and Production I.G — the studio that co-produced the original 1995 film. Series composition and scripts are by EnJoe Toh. Check out our other anime coverage if you’re building your summer 2026 watchlist.

Last Words

Ghost in the Shell has a long history with Singapore fans — the 1995 film is one of those titles that quietly changed how a generation here thought about anime as a serious medium. Science SARU’s track record (Dandadan, Devilman Crybaby) and the ambition of the ending theme point to a production that wants to earn that legacy, not just trade on it. Pop it into your Prime Video watchlist and set a reminder for 7 July.

BLEACH: The Calamity Arrives in July — What Singapore Fans Need to Know

Leave a comment

More than 22 years after Tite Kubo launched the BLEACH manga, the saga is finally reaching its end. BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity — the fourth and final cour of the acclaimed anime adaptation — begins its Japan broadcast in July 2026, and Singapore fans who’ve followed through three previous coups can now start planning for the finale.

Official Trailer | BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Final Part – The Calamity | INTL SUBS | VIZ — via vizmedia on YouTube

What Is BLEACH: The Calamity?

The Thousand-Year Blood War arc has been unfolding since October 2022, adapting what many fans consider the most ambitious stretch of Kubo’s manga. The first three coups — The Blood Warfare, The Separation, and The Conflict — delivered intricate battles, jaw-dropping reveals, and some of the most visually polished Bankai sequences Studio Pierrot Films has ever produced.

The Calamity is the closing chapter. It picks up as Soul Reapers and surviving Quincies converge on Wahr Welt — the Royal Palace now under Wandenreich control — for a final showdown with Yhwach at the peak of his power. Chief series director Tomohisa Taguchi and series director Hikaru Murata both return for this final stretch, continuing the visual language established across the previous coups.

BLEACH The Calamity Streaming: Singapore and Asia

The series broadcasts in Japan from July 2026 on TV Tokyo and its affiliates. For Singapore viewers, Parts 1–3 of Thousand-Year Blood War were available on Disney+ Singapore in line with their Japan debuts — The Calamity is expected to follow the same pattern, though an official Disney+ Singapore release date has not been confirmed at the time of writing. Keep an eye on your Disney+ app.

Before the streaming start, fans in the US are getting a theatrical head-start: Viz Media and Fathom Entertainment are running limited screenings from 25 to 29 June 2026, showing the first three episodes in both Japanese with English subtitles and the English dub. The event also includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes conversation with series creator Tite Kubo, chief series director Tomohisa Taguchi, and series director Hikaru Murata, as reported by Variety. It’s a rare opportunity to hear from the creative team at the finish line.

The Key Visual and Tite Kubo’s Personal Touch

The key visual for The Calamity carries the tagline “To those once called calamities” — a phrase Tite Kubo himself suggested for the artwork, according to Anime News Network’s coverage of the main trailer reveal on 19 May 2026. The ensemble visual is centred on Ichigo and the full cast, a quiet callback to where everything began.

Catch Up on Parts 1–3 Before July

If you or a friend lapsed after The Conflict, now is the time to get back in. All three existing coups are available on Disney+ Singapore — each runs approximately 13 episodes and represents some of the most cinematic TV anime produced in recent years. And if you’re hunting for more anime news and coverage, we’ve got your summer 2026 watch list covered.

Last words

For Singapore fans who grew up with BLEACH — through weekly chapters, the original anime’s long run, and the decade-long wait for the Blood War arc to finally get animated — The Calamity is more than a season finale. It’s the end of a saga that shaped a generation of anime fans here. July cannot come soon enough.

MAPPA 15th Anniversary: JJK, Chainsaw Man & AoT News on 19 June

Leave a comment

If you’ve been waiting for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 news, a Chainsaw Man update, or any hint of what’s next for Attack on Titan — set an alarm for Friday, 19 June. Studio MAPPA is hosting a landmark 15th anniversary presentation at 8pm JST / 7pm SGT, and almost every major franchise it handles is on the bill.

MAPPA at 15: A Studio Behind Half Your Favourite Anime

MAPPA was founded on 14 June 2011 and has since become one of the most prolific animation studios in the world — responsible for Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Dorohedoro, Ranma ½, Yuri on Ice, and more. To mark its 15th anniversary, the studio is hosting a special video presentation that it describes as more than a list of upcoming projects: each title will be introduced through “carefully crafted video segments” (per navigator Kenjiro Tsuda’s comments).

The event will also premiere an original anniversary film set to “Seikatsu” (Life), a song written for the occasion by Japanese band PEOPLE 1. Veteran voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi serves as narrator.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 — What Singapore Fans Need to Know

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 4 — covering the Culling Game Arc Part 2 — is confirmed in production, and MAPPA will share fresh details on 19 June. The event includes a dedicated “Juju Talk” segment featuring voice actors Junya Enoki (Yuji Itadori) and Megumi Ogata (Yuta Okkotsu).

Season 3 finished airing earlier this year, covering the Culling Game Arc Part 1, so Season 4 is the natural continuation of the story. The June 19 update is expected to include at minimum a new teaser and possibly a confirmed premiere window.

Chainsaw Man: International Assassins Arc and a Mystery New Project

The Chainsaw Man section of the event is arguably the most intriguing. Two announcements are confirmed:

  • New details on the Chainsaw Man: International Assassins Arc anime — the adaptation of the manga arc immediately following the Public Safety arc. Whether this will be a new TV season or an animated film has not been confirmed.
  • A brand-new Chainsaw Man project, teased independently of the Assassins Arc announcement. Chainsaw Man Part 2 of the manga concluded in Japan just one day before this was announced, making the timing significant. Creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has spoken publicly about his love for cinema, so speculation has already settled on an original anime film — but nothing is confirmed until 19 June.

Attack on Titan, Dorohedoro, Ranma ½ and More

The full MAPPA 15th anniversary lineup is:

  • Attack on Titan: The Final Season — new anime details (separate from the Attack on Titan 3 game announced earlier this month)
  • Dorohedoro Season 3
  • Ranma ½ Season 3 (streaming on Netflix in Singapore)
  • Oblivion Battery Season 2
  • Yuri on Ice 10th Anniversary content
  • A completely new, unannounced anime — one reveal MAPPA is keeping under wraps until the night itself

The breadth of this lineup makes the June 19 presentation one of the most consequential anime events of the year, rivalling a dedicated Crunchyroll Expo panel in terms of raw fan interest.

How to Watch Live from Singapore

The presentation streams free on MAPPA’s official YouTube channel:

  • When: Friday, 19 June 2026 at 7pm SGT (8pm JST / 1pm CEST)
  • Where: youtube.com/@MAPPACHANNEL
  • Cost: Free — no registration required

Set a reminder on YouTube now so you do not miss the start. Each segment is expected to carry its own teaser or trailer, so this is one to watch in real time rather than catch up on later.

Last words

MAPPA’s output is woven through Singapore’s anime scene — JJK merch is a fixture at events like AFA and CSF, Chainsaw Man cosplay turns heads at every convention, and Ranma ½’s return has been a nostalgia wave for older fans. Friday’s livestream will shape what Singapore anime fans are talking about for the rest of 2026. Block out 7pm SGT, pull up YouTube, and enjoy the chaos.

Blue Lock Season 3: Neo Egoist League Premieres October 2026

Leave a comment

Blue Lock’s third season now has an official title — and it’s the one manga readers have been waiting for. On 9 June 2026 (Japan’s self-declared “Blue Lock Day”), production studio Eight Bit and the BLUE LOCK Production Committee confirmed the new series title as BLUE LOCK: NEO EGOIST LEAGUE. A super teaser visual featuring Yoichi Isagi and Michael Kaiser dropped alongside the announcement, with the show targeting an October 2026 premiere on Crunchyroll.

What Is the Neo Egoist League Arc?

The Neo Egoist League — known in Japanese as 新英雄大戦 (Shin Eiyū Taisen, roughly “New Hero Wars”) — is the longest arc the Blue Lock manga has run, spanning over 150 chapters. After Japan’s U-20 squad is dismantled in the previous arc, the surviving Blue Lock strikers don’t go home — they’re scattered across Europe’s top five football leagues instead.

The setup is ruthless: 35 Japanese strikers, each embedded in a European club, compete in a round-robin tournament against each other and the world’s elite. Only the top 23 scorers earn a spot on Japan’s U-20 World Cup squad. It’s Blue Lock logic pushed to a global scale, with an entirely new roster of overseas rivals — many of them, according to illustrator Yusuke Nomura, “even more eccentric than the Blue Lock members themselves.”

Mangaka Muneyuki Kaneshiro put it plainly on Blue Lock Day: “Both Isagi and we are starting fresh from here. We’ll be going all out with ego.”

Isagi vs. Kaiser: The Rivalry at the Centre

The teaser visual released on Blue Lock Day frames Season 3 as Isagi’s story versus one man: Michael Kaiser, ace forward of Bastard München and the dominant presence throughout this arc. Yoichi Isagi returns voiced by Kazuki Ura, while Kaiser is played by Mamoru Miyano — familiar to Singapore anime fans as Light Yagami in Death Note and Ling Yao in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Miyano brings exactly the kind of operatic ego the role demands.

Michael Kaiser character visual for Blue Lock NEO EGOIST LEAGUE

Eight Bit — the same studio behind Seasons 1 and 2 — handles animation for Season 3. The extended production window since Season 2 ended is notable; the studio has had more runway this time around, which matters for a story arc this dense.

The Live-Action Film Is Also Coming

Announced alongside Season 3: a Blue Lock live-action film, produced by CREDEUS (the studio behind the Kingdom and Golden Kamuy films) and targeting Summer 2026 in Japan, timed to coincide with the FIFA World Cup. No Singapore theatrical date has been announced. We’ll update this post if a local run is confirmed through Odex or another distributor.

When Can Singapore Fans Watch Blue Lock Season 3?

Crunchyroll has confirmed it as the international streaming home for BLUE LOCK: NEO EGOIST LEAGUE, consistent with Seasons 1 and 2. Blue Lock has streamed in Singapore on Crunchyroll for both prior seasons, and Season 3 is expected to continue that pattern.

The premiere window is October 2026. A specific date of October 9 has circulated widely in fan media, but as of the Blue Lock Day announcement, no official date has been confirmed — treat that figure as a placeholder until Eight Bit or Crunchyroll publish an official air date.

For more upcoming anime on Crunchyroll this season, check out our Manga & Anime coverage.

Last Words

Blue Lock is one of the biggest sports anime of the past few years, and the Neo Egoist League is the arc manga readers have been clamouring to see animated. With Eight Bit back in the chair, Mamoru Miyano voicing the most arrogant rival in the series, and a 150-chapter arc to work through, October 2026 is shaping up to be a strong season for Singapore’s Crunchyroll crowd. We’re watching.

GARRACK x EVANGELION Raden Watches — Pre-Orders Open 12 June

Leave a comment

Japan-made watchmaker GARRACK is bringing Neon Genesis Evangelion to your wrist — and the dial work alone makes this worth your attention. Three automatic mechanical watches inspired by Unit-01, Unit-02, and Unit-00 go on pre-order 12 June 2026, with sales opening 26 June 2026. International shipping is available, so Singapore fans can order direct.

GARRACK x EVANGELION raden watch collection featuring all three EVA units

What Is the GARRACK EVANGELION Raden Watch Collection?

GARRACK is a Japanese character-collaboration watch brand distributed by Ueni Trading. Their speciality is pairing popular IP with traditional Japanese crafts — and for Evangelion they have gone with raden (螺鈿), the ancient technique of inlaying iridescent abalone shell onto lacquerwork.

Each dial is hand-finished by a fourth-generation raden artisan in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture — one of Japan’s most respected lacquerware regions. Because natural shell is used and every piece is applied by hand, no two watches are identical. The iridescent surface shifts colour with the angle of light, so the watch is never quite the same twice in different lighting.

Three EVANGELION Units, Three Distinct Dials

The collection covers the three lead Evangelion units, each with its unit designation at a unique index position on the dial:

  • Unit-01 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-1) — ¥77,000 tax-included (approx. SGD 640)
  • Unit-02 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-2) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)
  • Unit-00 (Ref. SMS-EVA-41-0) — ¥79,200 tax-included (approx. SGD 660)

The Unit-01 numeral sits at the 1 o’clock position, Unit-02 at 2 o’clock, and Unit-00 at 12 o’clock. A.T. Field-inspired indices run around each dial, and the see-through case back carries the NERV emblem — a detail that lands especially well in person.

GARRACK EVANGELION Watch Specs

  • Movement: Automatic (MIYOTA)
  • Case: Stainless steel, 41 mm
  • Strap: Calf leather
  • Crystal: Mineral glass
  • Water resistance: 5 ATM
  • Caseback: See-through with NERV logo

How to Pre-Order from Singapore

GARRACK’s official feature page at WorldWideWatch.jp ships internationally, so Singapore fans can order direct and pay in Japanese yen. Pre-orders open 12 June 2026 and the watches officially go on sale 26 June 2026 (Friday). The collection is also available via the Evangelion Store, Rakuten, and Yahoo Shopping Japan if you prefer a proxy-shopping route.

SGD prices above are approximate at the time of writing — check a currency converter before you order.

Last Words

This is the kind of collab you won’t find at any local counter — a Japan-craft collector watch tied to a franchise that still hits hard here. Evangelion is in its 30th-anniversary year, and appetite for quality EVA merchandise among Singapore fans has never been higher. If you have been hunting for an EVA piece that doubles as a proper automatic watch, this is a strong contender. Pre-orders open in two days — bookmark the page now and check our merch coverage for more picks worth your wallet.

Crunchyroll Drops 7 New Anime for Singapore This July

Leave a comment

Singapore anime fans, you’re eating well this July. Crunchyroll just dropped seven brand-new anime titles as part of its Anime Expo 2026 programming reveal — and every single one of them streams in Singapore.

Overgeared | Official Teaser | Crunchyroll — via Crunchyroll on YouTube

Crunchyroll New Anime 2026: What Was Announced

The slate was unveiled as part of Crunchyroll’s massive Anime Expo 2026 presence — the annual Los Angeles convention running from 2–5 July. Seven upcoming series join the platform across that window, with premiere dates clustered around the convention itself. The announcement landed via Singapore media partners on 9 June, and crucially, every title on the list is cleared for streaming here.

Overgeared — The Title Singapore Has Been Waiting For

Overgeared is the headline act. Based on the hugely popular Korean manhwa, the show follows Shin Youngwoo (a.k.a. Grid) — a chronic underdog in the full-immersion VR game Satisfy — who stumbles upon a legendary item granting him the rare “Pagma’s Successor” class. Overnight, he goes from scraping the bottom of every leaderboard to becoming the most feared blacksmith-fighter in the game. Naturally, fame brings trouble.

The manhwa has a massive following in Southeast Asia, and the anime adaptation has been one of the most anticipated for years. Overgeared premieres on Crunchyroll on 2 July 2026 (worldwide, excluding Japan and Korea — Singapore is in).

Southeast Asia Gets the Good Stuff

Two titles explicitly confirm Southeast Asia in their streaming territories — meaning Singapore fans have zero ambiguity about access.

Sasaki and Peeps Season 2

The beloved odd-couple premise is back: tired office worker Sasaki adopts a small bird called Peeps, who turns out to be an enormously powerful mage from another world. Season 2 continues their cross-dimensional adventures. It hits Crunchyroll on 2 July 2026, with Southeast Asia (including Singapore) explicitly included in the streaming territory.

The Villager of Level 999

Kouji Kagami was born a Villager — the single weakest class in a world where monsters have overtaken 80% of the land and your birth class shapes your entire life. That should make him irrelevant. It does not: he has quietly reached Level 999, a milestone nobody has ever hit before. His encounter with the Demon King’s daughter is about to change everything. Premieres 4 July 2026, with Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent explicitly included.

Here’s everything confirmed for Singapore watchers, with premiere dates where available:

  • Overgeared — VRMMO action based on the Korean manhwa. Premieres 2 July 2026.
  • Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 — Isekai comedy with a bird mage. Premieres 2 July 2026. (SEA explicitly included.)

  • The Oblivious Saint Can’t Contain Her Power — A duke’s overlooked daughter is thrust into a political marriage and discovers she may be far more powerful than anyone realised. Premieres 4 July 2026.
