Crunchyroll said on November 11 that it will screen several upcoming anime premieres at Anime Frontier 2026, which runs December 4 to 6 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas. The lineup spans new episodes of returning series, a new Magic Knight Rayearth anime and four titles from Aniplex.
The first block comes on Friday, December 4, when Crunchyroll holds an Anime Premieres screening on the Mainstage from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The titles for that session have not yet been revealed, and Crunchyroll has said they will be announced later.
The evening brings the one confirmed title of the day. From 5:45 to 7:05 p.m., Crunchyroll will show the first three episodes of the new Magic Knight Rayearth anime. The screening is listed as a separate event from the earlier premieres session, so attendees can take in both on the opening day of the convention.
Sunday, December 6, carries the larger announced lineup, split into two sessions. From 11:00 a.m. to noon, Crunchyroll will screen Fate Rewinder, Episode 1 of Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms Season 2 and Episode 1 of Shangri-La Frontier Season 3. Two of the three are continuations of existing series, so the screening gives audiences a look at the opening episodes of their new seasons.
A second Sunday session, from 1:45 to 3:45 p.m., is devoted to Aniplex productions. Crunchyroll will stream the premieres of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All, Here U Are, Bless and Dengeki Daisy, according to Anime News Network. That makes the two-hour block the longest of the announced screenings.
Taken together, the schedule places the bulk of the named new-season titles on the final day of the convention, while Friday is anchored by the Rayearth screening and the premieres session whose titles are still unannounced. The Friday session on the Mainstage runs for an hour and a half, which leaves room for more than one title, though Crunchyroll has not said how many it will show.
The convention itself is a three-day event held at a single venue. The dates and location were confirmed in the listing published by AnimeTV Japan, which also gives the Mainstage as the location of the December 4 premieres screening.
Crunchyroll has not named the remaining December 4 titles. The company said they will be revealed at a later date, ahead of the convention opening on December 4.
