Crunchyroll Announces Anime Expo 2019 Plans
Popular anime streaming site Crunchyroll has some huge things happening at this year's Anime Expo! From zombie girls to shonen scientists, the range of events occurring are off many a scale!
At the Crunchyroll booth (Booth #2600), fans can nab a free drawstring bag offered in four different designs including Mob Psycho 100, Dr. STONE, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and The Rising of the Shield Hero, with one available each day per person until supplies run out. Fans can purchase items from Crunchyroll’s exclusive Anime Expo line of merchandise only at AX from July 4-7 or until supplies sell out. In celebration of the upcoming Dr. STONE premiere, fans can grab a Senku headband and pose with living petrified statues around the booth, inspired by the new series.
Crunchyroll is also launching a new digital collectibles app, Crunchyroll Digital Drops, where fans can collect and trade virtual stickers from various anime titles via QR Codes at specially placed locations at the Crunchyroll booth, Crunchyroll HQ and more. Fans are invited to stop by daily to scan for new digital drops for a chance to collect them all.
