Crunchyroll Adds Jujutsu Kaisen Compilation Film and English Dub of Given Films
Crunchyroll has made an exciting announcement for anime fans. The popular streaming platform announced that it will add the Jujutsu Kaisen compilation film to its library and release English-dubbed versions of the Given films. Additionally, the Crunchyroll Manga service will add select works from Kodansha USA Publishing on June 8. According to Anime News Network, these steps are part of Crunchyroll's expansion strategy in both anime and manga.
Especially for Jujutsu Kaisen fans, this compilation film is intended to summarize the key moments of the first season. Released last year, the film is ideal for those who want a brief introduction to the adventures of Yuji Itadori and his friends. On the other hand, Given stands out as one of the most beloved examples of the BL (Boys Love) genre. The first film was released in Japan in 2020, and the second in 2022. The English-dubbed versions of these two films are a major gain for English-speaking audiences.
On the Crunchyroll Manga front, various works from Kodansha USA Publishing will be added to the platform on June 8. Although it is not yet clear which mangas will be included, Kodansha's popular series include titles such as Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and Tokyo Revengers. This move is seen as an effort by Crunchyroll to expand the digital manga reading experience and provide more value to its subscribers.
These new additions by the platform meet a constantly growing demand in the anime and manga industry. While Jujutsu Kaisen is breaking records worldwide with its second season, Given has played a significant role in bringing the BL genre into the mainstream. By offering such content both in English dub and manga format, Crunchyroll shows that it is targeting different audiences. In the coming days, Crunchyroll is expected to add more anime films and manga series. It is advisable to follow the platform's social media accounts for official announcements.
