Sports lovers, anime lovers, the intersection of the two, I have good news for you: you can now watch a whole bunch of anime for free on Crunchyroll.
If you didn’t know, the Olympics are happening this week, with the events kicking off on Friday, July 26th. Metal (and glory I guess). The thing is, though, you probably don’t care about every category you’ll be showcasing during the two-week event, so how will you kill time in between each one? Well, if you are an anime fan, Crunchyroll has you covered. “To celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics, Crunchyroll is launching a number of ad-supported sports anime, free to stream until August 15,” the streaming service shared in a press release.
