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 put out a trailer for Dark Machine The Animation. The trailer displays an October 2026 broadcast date together with the opening theme for the show. In another development, the Crunchyroll exclusive Chainsaw Man collection officially drops on August 25. Also, a mid-season trailer for the Thunder 3 anime brings action downtown.
