Crunchyroll Party Added To Adult Swim Festival ; Network Adds Two Dubs

 

The super-sized second annual Adult Swim Festival will be held next week, November 15 and 16, at the stunning Banc of California Stadium in Downtown Los Angeles. In addition to previously announced musical acts such Dethklok, Jamie xx, Vince Staples, Captain Murphy, and Tierra Whack, 2 Chainz and Rapsody have also been added to the music lineup. (Previously announced Lil Nas X and Young Thug will no longer be performing due to personal reasons). The one-of-a-kind, 360° fan event will include top bands and musical artists, comedians, interactive games, and experiences that only Adult Swim can bring to life. 

The Crunchyroll Anime Rave has been announced as the official after-party for the Adult Swim Festival, taking place on Friday night and headlined by DJ and producer Ducky, whose genre-free style is a distinct range of melodic pop tunes to heavy rave bangers. Crunchyroll is the world’s most popular anime brand and after several programming collaborations, this marks the first time they have partnered with Adult Swim on a live event for fans. 

In addition to musical and comedy acts, fans will get access to one-of-a-kind experiences with new on-site activations, including The Rickflector, a machine that transports the melted minds of fans directly into the animated world of Rick and Morty and the festival debuts of Morty Slide, which will launch fans into their own “Goodbye, Moonman” daydream, and Cat Joust, where they will mount valiant feline steeds to compete for honor and adoration against friend or foe. The always popular Mechanical Hot Dog Ride is the best seat in the house and fans can escape the sun in the newly revamped Meatwad Dome to catch 360 degrees of Adult Swim premieres and favorites.

In related Crunchyroll news, today, Crunchyroll is announcing the premiere of two dubbed series: “High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World” and “Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!”

“High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World”

Seven high school students are involved in an airplane crash. When they woke up, they found themselves in a parallel world where magic and beastmen exist. Of course, they panicked at their sudden unexpected predicament… or not? Instead, they create a power plant in a world that doesn’t have electricity, they did a little extra work and managed to take economic control over a metropolis, they managed to repay their gratitude to some oppressed citizens by upending a corrupt government, and basically do whatever they feel like?!

You probably guessed by now, but these high school kids aren’t normal. They are all high school prodigies who stood at the top of the fields of politics, economics, science, and medicine.

This is an otherworldly revolutionary tale featuring the Earth’s dream team of individuals with superior intellect and technology being thrown into a world where super technology doesn’t exist.

“High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World” will launch new episodes weekly starting Thursday, 11/7 at 12 PM PT.

 

“Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!”

An above average high school girl, Kurihara Misato, is reborn in another world after an accident. Her wish in this new world: “I want to make friends like normal and live a normal life.”

“Didn’t I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!” will launch new dubbed episodes weekly starting Monday, 11/11 at 12:00 PM PT.
