It’s a creepy, scary week Crunchyroll HQ! But Nick, Leah, and LeAlec are ready to unpack this week’s biggest headlines like The Apothecary Diaries’ massive announcement: not just a third season, but an original movie straight from the author! Plus, spooky-cute merch lovers, get ready for a Hello Kitty x Junji Ito collab that’s equal parts adorable and horrifying. The hosts also break down new Crunchyroll collaborations with HoyoVerse and Delta Airlines (anime at 30,000 feet?!), and answer listener questions about which anime characters they’d invite to co-host The Anime Effect.
