Sunday, July 3
Sunday’s packed schedule begins at 11:30AM PDT (2:30PM EDT/12AM IST/3:30AM JST) with a Crunchyroll industry panel, bringing news about the upcoming series from the service. This will be followed by the Ranking of Kings panel at 1PM PDT (4PM EDT/1:30AM IST/5AM JST), featuring the series’ director and animation producer for a Q&A session.
Quickly following at 1:30PM PDT (4:30PM EDT/2AM IST/5:30AM JST) will be the Jujutsu Kaisen focus panel, featuring the team behind the anime and the film adaptations. While it’s unlikely that any information related to Season 2 will be revealed, we cannot deny the possibility altogether.
Afterwards, at 3PM PDT (6PM EDT/3:30AM IST/7AM JST), we will see the Crunchyroll New Simulcast Premieres Round 3 Panel. The first episode of Classroom of The Elite Season 2, the first episode of In/Spectre’s Seasob 2, and the first two episodes of Shoot! Goal to the Future will premiere internationally.
Sunday ends with the 6:30PM PDT (9:30PM EDT/7AM IST/10:30AM JST) event, which is the Mob Psycho 100 III kickoff panel, hosted by Warner Bros. Japan. The panel will clue fans in on what to expect for the upcoming season, and reveal the opening theme song for the season.
Monday, July 4 and speculations
Monday’s mundane schedule begins and ends with the Chainsaw Man panel by MAPPA and Cruncyhroll at 11:30AM PDT (2:30PM EDT/12AM IST/3:30AM JST). Not much has been revealed other than it being a “producer’s” panel, but many fans are speculating that a lot will be discussed here.
It is likely that the voice cast for the Chainsaw Man anime adaptation will be revealed here. Fans can expect the core four characters of the series to have their voice actors revealed, namely Denji, Power, Makima, and Aki. While the Chainsaw Man anime trailer is also a possibility, chances are that it will release at a later date.
Other potential reveals will likely center around My Hero Academia, and fans are hoping to witness the release of some Season 6 information during the series’ panel. No trailer or preview has been released for the upcoming season, leaving My Hero Academia fans clamoring for details.
However, this is all speculative and should be taken with a grain of salt. My Hero Academia and Chainsaw Man fans may not ultimately get the info they’re hoping for at Crunchyroll’s Anime Expo 2022.
Be sure to keep up with all Crunchyroll, My Hero Academia, and Chainsaw Man news, as well as general anime and manga news, as 2022 progresses.
