Crunchyroll Announces KONOSUBA Encore Showing and WOODPECKER DETECTIVE'S OFFICE
At New York Comic Con, Crunchyroll made two announcements. First, they have decided to add an additional date for their upcoming Crunchyroll Movie Night for Konosuba – Legend of Crimson. This encore presentation will happen on November 14 with tickets becoming available on October 18.
“A video game-loving shut-in, Satou Kazuma’s life should’ve ended when he was hit by a truck, but through a twist of fate, he ends up reincarnating in another world—and dragging the troublemaking goddess, Aqua, the wildly dorky mage, Megumin, and the unrelentingly delusional lady knight, Darkness, with him.
Now, the Crimson Demon village that Megumin and Yunyun are from is facing a threat that could mean it’s ending. Kazuma and his gang follow Yunyun, who returns to the Crimson Demon village intent on saving it... when they are faced with their greatest threat yet! What will become of the unremarkable adventurer Kazuma’s life in another world?!”
Their other announcement is that Woodpecker Detective’s Office will be available in Spring 2020. This is a new Crunchyroll co-production and sounds interesting. Here’s the synopsis and some key art for the series.
“It is the end of the Meiji Era.
The genius poet Ishikawa Takuboku, who’s struggling financially, starts a detective business out of his lodging in response to a certain murder case.
He calls it the Woodpecker Detective’s Office.
“The ghosts of the Twelve-Story Tower in Asakusa,” “the man-eating figure who wanders the streets on snowy nights”...
Takuboku involves himself in one bizarre case after another with his hometown acquaintance, Kindaichi Kyosuke, as his assistant.
Other literary men such as Nomura Kodo, Yoshii Isamu, Hagiwara Sakutaro, and Wakayama Bokusui are also dragged into Takuboku’s exploits as he races all around Tokyo at the height of Westernization!”
