All the Anime Crunchyroll Will Simulcast in July

Summer has arrived, and what better way to enjoy it than staying in an air conditioned room to check out new anime? Some shows, like One Piece, will continue airing through the next months, but most standard-length shows, like My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, have wrapped up to make way for the summer anime season.

I subscribe to Crunchyroll, which streams most new anime almost immediately after it airs live in Japan. Most other streaming services, aside from occasionally Hulu, can't say the same. As we head into a new season, I’ve broken down every anime the site will simulcast in July.

New Anime Simulcasts in July: Highlights on Crunchyroll

Dan Da Dan Season 2

Premieres July 3

The alien- and demon-hunting duo returns for a new season on July 3. Like the first season, the first three episodes of Dan Da Dan Season 2 were shown in theaters earlier in June as “Dan Da Dan: Evil Eye,” but the full season will run for 12 episodes. Expect an unbelievable amount of innuendos and, hopefully, an opening theme as catchy as Season 1.

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2

Premieres July 5

There’s a lot of action on this list, so here’s something a little more lighthearted to look forward to. My Dress-Up Darling is returning for Season 2 three afters after it originally aired and off the heels of the manga’s final chapter. IGN’s review of the first season highlights the sweetness of the series' “fledgling romance,” but also highlights how the show “runs through the difficulties and joys of constructing a costume from scratch.”

Gachiakuta

Premieres July 6

Bones Studio stays busy. Before the final season of My Hero Academia, we’re getting a new anime from the studio based on Kei Urano’s dark fantasy manga. Directly translated as “legit trash,” Gachiakuta takes place in a world where the wealthy literally float above the masses. The story follows Rudo, a young boy whose wrongful conviction for murder leads him to “The Pit.”

Nyaight of the Living Cat

Premieres July 6

OLM, the studio behind most of the Pokémon anime and the 1997 version of Berserk, is animating one of the more unique manga from the past decade. Nyaight of the Living Cat takes place in an apocalyptic world where people get turned into… you guessed it, cats. The comedy-horror series will also be featured in a Dead By Daylight collab, with some quirky cosmetics releasing on the same day as the anime's premiere.

Dr. Stone Season 4, Part 2

Premieres July 10

Dr. Stone is returning for the second part of its final season. Season 4, also known as Science Future, is planned to wrap up in three parts, making this essentially “Act 2” of a three-act season. Unlike, say, Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone’s final season will air pretty much back-to-back, with each “part” containing a full 12 episodes. You’re basically getting three full seasons.

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2

Premieres July 19

Another breakout anime from 2024, Kaiju No. 8 follows a man who, after giving up his dream of joining humanity's Defense Force, accidentally becomes the type of demon he dreamed of fighting. IGN’s review describes how the first season “delivers a consistent flow of sci-fi monster-fighting splendor while taking ample time to capture the contours of its main cast, raising the stakes for Season 2.” Well, that Season 2 is almost here, premiering on July 20.
