As anime continues to grow worldwide and is woven into the pop cultural zeitgeist, there’s no better way to experience anime than at the biggest entertainment fan event of the year – San Diego Comic-Con! Crunchyroll will once again head down to sunny San Diego Comic-Con to bring anime fans a slate of ani-mazing events, including the first-ever Crunchyroll Ultimate Anime Fitness Challenge, massive and immersive show floor pieces, insightful panels and first-ever anime exhibits at the Comic-Con Museum.
All weekend long, Crunchyroll will be on the San Diego Comic-Con show floor, where its most advanced booth ever [#4135] will activate with scenes and sounds from hit anime, whisking fans away into beloved worlds. Comic-Con goers that long for their own domain expansions may enter The JUJUTSU KAISEN Experience, where fans will find themselves immersed in iconic moments.
For those con-goers looking for swag, Crunchyroll is giving out Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO wristbands. Fans can also bring home Solo Leveling and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba posters alongside giveaway art cards for JUJUTSU KAISEN and My Hero Academia art cards.
In homage to the classic legends and new-generation favorites of the pop culture world, Crunchyroll is presenting new exhibits and features at Comic-Con Museum. Beginning Tuesday, July 18 at 10 AM PT, a statue depicting the legendary fight between My Hero Academia’s All Might and All for One will be on display, and in partnership with Mondo, Crunchyroll will honor Cowboy Bebop’s 25th anniversary with an exhibit that features 28 never-before-seen commissioned art pieces. Tickets are available on the Comic-Con Museum Official Website.

CRUNCHYROLL’S ULTIMATE ANIME FITNESS CHALLENGE
Friday, July 21, and Saturday, July 22, at 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM
Hardcore Fitness – 1014 Fifth Ave STE 120, San Diego, CA 92101
Ready to learn to workout like your favorite anime characters? Crunchyroll will pump the iron (again, a light workout…) and the jams because no workout is complete without a killer playlist. When the music stops, attendees can take back some electrolytes and wipe off that thick post-workout sweat (a light workout, we promise!) with a free Crunchyroll Water Bottle and Crunchyroll Gym Towel—spoiler warning: they’re a very cool orange! Oh, and it’s not a workout without a complimentary smoothie—also orange.
Trainer & Host: Charles Thorp
Co-Hosts: Crunchyroll’s Lauren Moore & Tim Lyu
