Crunchyroll Adds Six Titles to Its Winter Simulcast List
Anime fans should get excited. Crunchyroll recently announced six titles that will be a part of their winter simulcast lineup. These titles will be available in early January at the same time as when they air in Japan. Fans of dubbed anime will maybe be a little sad as these will be subbed versions of the programs. Check out the full list below.
Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga
“The Warring States Period is a time of feuding warlords. Oda Nobunaga, the greatest of them all, is reborn in modern-day Japan... as a shiba-inu! The other generals of the era, too, have also inexplicably been reborn as dogs. Their warring states rivalry will resume at the dog park!”
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
“First year high schooler Midori Asakusa loves anime so much, she insists that ‘concept is everything’ in animation. Though she draws a variety of ideas in her sketchbook, she hasn’t taken the first step to creating anime, insisting that she can’t do it alone. The producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa’s genius. Then, when it becomes clear that their classmate, charismatic fashion model Tsubame Mizusaki, really wants to be an animator, they create an animation club to realize the ‘ultimate world’ that exists in their minds.
Sumito Owara’s popular debut manga running in Monthly Spirits (Shogakukan) will be given the ‘hands-on’ treatment by award-winning director Masaaki Yuasa and animation studio Science Saru!!
Character designs by Naoyuki Asano and music by Oorutaichi will also join the ‘ultimate staff’ creating the ‘ultimate world.’
Everyone will be watching the adventures of these three girls as they take the world by storm!!”
Science Fell in Love, So I Tried to Prove it
“What happens when a science-inclined girl and boy who are deeply passionate about research fall in love?
An intelligent woman named Himuro Ayame who is a science graduate student at Saitama University happens to ask fellow science graduate student Yukimura Shinya out.
Of course, there’s no logical reason for this love! But as a science and engineering major, not being able to logically prove love would mean that those feelings aren’t real, and they’d fail as a science student. With that in mind, the two drag everyone else in the lab into trying various experiments to prove love actually exists.
Dating experiments, the pursuit of a componential explanation for ‘love,’ measuring heart rate, and defining mood value...
There are plenty of laughs and heart-racing moments in this scientific romantic comedy where these loveable and unique science students try to prove that love logically exists!”
