Gachiakuta:
This one’s all about Action and has a touch of Dark Fantasy. It’s about an orphan boy living in a slum who gets caught up in a battle action story. The cool part is that the anime production is being done by Studio Bones, known for some amazing action sequences!
- Available Languages: From what I’ve seen, it’s expected to be available with Japanese audio and subtitles in multiple languages like English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and more on streaming platforms. Dubs in other languages will likely follow.
- Free or Paid: Crunchyroll typically offers new episodes for free with ads, and you’ll need a subscription for ad-free viewing and access to their full library.
- Manga Source: Yes, Gachiakuta is based on a super popular manga series!
- Number of Seasons: This will be the first season of the anime adaptation, so we’re all in for a fresh ride!

It’s premiering on Crunchyroll in Summer 2025 (specifically, July 1st, 2025!).
The Apothecary Diaries (S2):
This series is a bit of a mix! It’s got Historical Drama, Mystery, and even some Romance, but it doesn’t neatly fit into just one category. What’s interesting is that even though there’s a romantic subplot, it’s not the main focus, and many fans are hooked for the mystery and historical setting.
