Crunchyroll has been trying to bring their anime series into NA theaters for some time now in the form of their monthly Crunchyroll Anime Nights. Sure, you can just watch all of those anime series directly from Crunchyroll on their streaming platform. However, they really want to make anime series into a theatrical experience in order to make anime more and more mainstream. Thus, we get this Anime Nights theatrical program each month. However, it seems that Crunchyroll want even more people to head on over to theaters to watch anime there, and it seems that they have a potential solution to their dilemma.
Crunchyroll is proud to announce their upcoming Crunchyroll Anime Nights SNEAK PEEK incoming to NA theaters. This sneak peek will show off new episodes from future seasons of various anime series. Three in this case: Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, Skeleton Knight In Another World – Season 2, and Clevatess – Season 2. It will make its theatrical debut for one night only on Monday, June 15, 2026 at 7PM (local time) in the U.S. and Canada. You can purchase tickets for it now from Fandango.
Crunchyroll Anime Nights SNEAK PEEK Schedule
- Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games
- Mitsuki Aya has one goal at the elite Kuromi Girls’ Academy: to become a refined young lady like the school’s flawless “White Lily,” Yorue Mio. But her image of Mio shatters when Aya accidentally catches her…playing fighting games?! Turns out, the elegant Mio is actually a hardcore gamer—and she wants to duel Aya! The battle (and their friendship) begins.
- Skeleton Knight In Another World – Season 2
- When Arc wakes up, he discovers that he has been transported to another world in the body of the character he was playing in an MMO. Looking like a suit of armor on the outside and a skeleton on the inside, he is the Skeleton Knight. If his identity is discovered, he could be mistaken for a monster and become a target! Arc decides to spend his time as a mercenary so as not to attract attention to himself. However, he’s not the kind of man who can stand idly by when he witnesses evil acts take place right before his eyes!
- Clevatess – Season 2
- One of the Lords of Dark Beasts, Clevatess’s reign shatters when he revives a hero he personally slayed and adopts an orphaned humanoid baby—the last hope to save a dying world. Now bound together, what fate awaits this unlikely trio?
Crunchyroll Anime Nights Attempting to Attract Theater-Goers with Sneak Peek at Future Anime Seasons
Honestly, this might be the best way for Crunchyroll to go about attract viewers into theaters to watch their anime. You know, the same anime that you can watch at home via their own streaming service? There’s not a whole lot of desire to head to theaters to watch anime when you can just watch those shows from the comfort of your couch.
That changes a bit though when Crunchyroll are offering episodes from seasons that haven’t even premiered yet. Now you actually have a reason to head to theaters, and enjoy not just the theatrical experience but also never-before-seen content as well. The only downside is that these anime episodes aren’t quite tailor-made for theaters, but that’s true of the rest of the Crunchyroll Anime Nights program to begin with. If you go to those, then this is just an extra treat to you.
