Halloween is right around the corner, and streaming anime platform, Crunchyroll, wants to celebrate that big time. Because of this, it will be letting all anime fans watch their favorite spooky-selected series for free! That’s right, if you were thinking about getting in that scary spirit with anime, then we got perfect news for you.
Here are the facts: Crunchyroll has been giving free anime series streams since October 1 in select titles. The shows will be free to watch with ads as long as you have signed up with Crunchyroll and have an actual account on the platform.
Now, to celebrate this anime treat, we will be telling you about the top 3 series that will be keeping you on the edge of your seat and are perfect for Halloween season. Let’s dive in:
Blue Exorcist: this anime first dropped in 2011, with a follow-up season in 2017. It revolves around our boy Rin Okumura and his twin brother. They’ll have to find out about their identities and past together, all while they exorcise demons in the real world. A new season is scheduled for January 2024.
Hell’s Paradise: this series premiered this year amid the hype for its closest competitor, Demon Slayer. Still, Hell’s Paradise proved to be an amazing show in its own right. It follows the story of former ninja, Gabimaru, who gets in a journey to find an elixir (and himself along the way).
Junji Ito Collection: these are a collection of one of the most prolific manga writers in the horror genre, Junji Ito. In this case, all stories are compiled and adapted from his original work. Every episode features a different protagonist and plot, so that’s gonna be a different scare every time!
