Lance John:

Welcome fellow anime fans to PNC animeBeat. Your weekly scoop on all things anime. I'm your host Lance John rolling out the red carpet of news from the world of Japanese animation. So grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and let's dive into this week's animated stories. Rumors have been swirling about a Crunchyroll subscription price hike, but breathe easy, friends.

Lance John:

Crunchyroll has confirmed there are no announcements about a price change at this time. Wait. Hold your subscription cancellations. There's a catch. If you're shifting from a Funimation only sub to Crunchyroll, brace for impact as a price tune up is on the horizon.

Lance John:

Canadian anime lovers, you'll feel a currency shift in your subscription, so prepare your wallets, Ready for a strategic throw down? Dual Masters fans get hyped as the Dual Masters Lost manga is leveling up to a TV anime this fall coming at you from JC Staff. The trailer looks slick and our favorite duelists, Wynn Kirifuda and Abyss Belle, Jashin Emperor, are back in action. And if your fingers are itching for some card battles, the abyss revolution Gaiden deathbell crystal card pack is already out. Connecting the dots to the lost world.

Lance John:

It's a perfect time to be a dueler. Tokyo Revengers fans, the wait for last mission's game has stretched yet again, now eyeing a more general 2024 release. The countdown has reset, but hang in there. Prep for some time leaping delinquent action when it finally drops on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Stay tuned and keep honing those gang leading skills until then.

Lance John:
