Sony's Crunchyroll online store removed physical manga and light novels during a fresh store update. The change ruined the physical media lineup at Sony's Crunchyroll online store, leaving the selection even weaker than fans feared.
Crunchyroll also released a trailer for Dark Machine The Animation. The trailer unveils an October 2026 broadcast date along with the opening theme for the project. In a further update, the Crunchyroll exclusive Chainsaw Man collection officially drops on August 25. Additionally, a mid-season clip for the Thunder 3 anime takes action downtown.
