Crunchyroll Bringing Dr. Stone, My Hero Academia & More to NYCC 2023

New York Comic Con 2023 is little more than a month away, and we’re finally starting to get some announcements! There’s been some concern about what the panel schedule would look like under the ongoing WGA and SAG strikes, but of course, there are still plenty of topics to cover. For example: anime! Crunchyroll has revealed their NYCC 2023 schedule, which includes the premiere of Dr. STONE Season 3 Part 2 and a special My Hero Academia screening.

In addition to panels and screenings, Crunchyroll will be setting up shop on the show floor at booths #1643 and #1653.

The Crunchyroll store (#1653) will offer over 50 “ani-mazing” items, including new exclusives like Attack on Titan-themed watches featuring Eren and Levi; a Chainsaw Man Pochita Otaku Lamp; a new Trigun Funko Pop featuring Vash and Kuroneko; and a Sailor Moon Glitter Version FiGPiN. Fans will also be able to snag some special photo ops featuring titles like One Piece, My Hero Academia, GOBLIN SLAYER II, and more.

Swag will be handed out at booth #1643, where fans can grab JUJUTSU KAISEN photo cards, posters for both Solo Leveling and A Returner’s Magic Should be Special, and temporary After-school Hanako-kun tattoos. This is also where fans can step into The JUJUTSU KAISEN Experience and immerse themselves within the world of the show.

Crunchyroll’s full panel schedule is below. A reminder for NYCC attendees, all panels on the Main Stage and Empire Stage will require reservations, which open later this month.
