All eyes were on the Big Apple for New York Comic Con as a number of big announcements in the world of anime were made. Crunchyroll dropped a few, highlighting new acquisitions for its streaming service as well as an upcoming theatrical release.

A worldwide phenomenon, 【OSHI NO KO】, is appearing on Crunchyroll for the first time, starting with the third season.

Crunchyroll describes the series as:

It’s been six months since “POP IN 2” was released. Thanks to MEM-Cho’s hard work, B-Komachi is about to get their major break. Aqua is a multi-talented entertainer, and Akane’s career as a talented actress is going smoothly. Meanwhile, Kana lost the cheerfulness she once had. To track down the truth behind Ai and Goro’s deaths, Ruby keeps rising in the entertainment world…

Using lies as a weapon.

Crunchyroll provided a synopsis of Daemons of the Shadow Realm:

In a world where certain humans command mighty supernatural duos called Daemons, it is the birthright of “the children who sunder day and night”—twins Yuru and Asa—to rule over these powerful entities.

Separated from a young age and unaware of the truth of their birth, brother and sister must fight to make their way back to each other, claim their birthright, and save the world…
