Crunchyroll’s Tim Lyu and Lauren Moore came to the company’s industry panel at San Diego Comic-Con ready to present the latest news on the streaming service’s upcoming anime programming, from Fall 2022 into next year. But the question on nearly every attendee’s mind was easy enough to guess: What is the premiere date for Chainsaw Man?
Unfortunately, Crunchyroll had nothing to share on the highly anticipated adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s ultra-violent horror action manga from studio MAPPA, which is slated to premiere sometime later this year. Instead, the panel focused primarily on titles which had already been announced during Crunchyroll’s Anime Expo panel earlier this month, showing off trailers for anime like the second season ofSaint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac, Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation season 2, and more.

Previously announced during Crunchyroll’s industry panel at Anime Expo 2022, Crunchyroll will stream the second season of Toei Animation’s CG anime adaptation of the Saint Seiya series,Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac, later this month. The series, which first premiered on Netflix in 2019, follows a group of five warriors with mystical powers and armor derived from various constellations who are charged with protecting the reincarnation of the Greek goddess Athena in her battle against Poseidon and Hades for control of the Earth.
The English, Spanish and Portuguese-dubbed versions of the second season, titled Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac — Battle for Sanctuary, will premiere the same day as the subtitled premiere.
