Crunchyroll just dropped what might be the biggest Anime Expo lineup in history, and anime fans are absolutely losing their minds. The streaming giant revealed its full schedule for AX2026 on July 3-4 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and it reads like every anime fan’s dream itinerary.
With over 20 blocks of programming featuring iconic creators, beloved voice actors, and exclusive first looks, Crunchyroll is basically turning the Peacock Theater into a massive anime theme park for the weekend. If you thought last year was big, this year is on an entirely different level.
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Takes Center Stage
The undisputed headliner? Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle. Crunchyroll is bringing the film’s voice cast for a special event, complete with a video look at the film alongside studio ufotable. But that’s not all — they’re also dropping a sneak peek of ufotable’s newest film project. Yes, a brand new ufotable film that nobody has any details about yet. The speculation is already running wild.
For context, the Infinity Castle arc has been one of the most anticipated anime events in years. The manga’s final arc adaptation has fans everywhere counting down the days, and this AX2026 appearance is going to be the place to be for Demon Slayer content.
The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 Confirmed
Here’s where things get even more exciting. The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 is getting a dedicated panel at Anime Expo, with talent from behind the scenes joining for what promises to be a deep dive into the upcoming season. Maomao’s adventures are far from over, and this is basically Crunchyroll’s confirmation that Season 3 is a priority title for them.
The series has been a runaway success since its debut, and the fact that Crunchyroll is giving it prime real estate at AX2026 tells you everything about how massive this show has become.
Gachiakuta Season 2 and More Returning Favorites
Crunchyroll isn’t stopping there. Gachiakuta Season 2 is getting its own programming block with a look at “what’s next” for the series. Other returning heavy hitters getting dedicated panels include:
- Mob Psycho 100 — celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special event
- Witch Hat Atelier — creator and cast chat panel
- Daemons of the Shadow Realm — deep dive into the series
- Clevatess — a close look at the direction and creation process
- You and I are Polar Opposites — featuring “voice cast hijinks”
A Mountain of New Acquisitions
But the real reason this lineup is breaking the internet? The mountain of new titles Crunchyroll is bringing to the platform. They’re sharing first looks via guest panels, world premieres, advance screenings, and exclusive sneak peeks. Here’s the full list of titles getting attention at AX2026:

The Dubbing Dojo Returns
Crunchyroll’s fan-favorite Dubbing Dojo experience is back, giving fans the chance to step behind the mic and try voice acting with scenes from Attack on Titan, BLUE LOCK, Sentenced to Be a Hero, Solo Leveling, and more. Immersive experiences for Daemons of the Shadow Realm and Witch Hat Atelier will also be available on the floor.
Crunchyroll News and Newtype magazine are partnering for a summer 2026 special issue, available for free at the Crunchyroll booth while supplies last.
