Crunchyroll Anime Nights will screen early episodes of Skeleton Knight in Another World S2, Clevatess S2, and Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games at over 280 theaters across the US and Canada on June 15.
Crunchyroll Anime Nights returns on June 15 with an exclusive one-night theatrical event screening early episodes from three upcoming Summer 2026 anime titles across more than 280 theaters in the United States and Canada. Tickets are now on sale through Fandango.
The June 15 event spotlights three series set to begin streaming on Crunchyroll in July 2026. Attendees will get an early look at episodes from Skeleton Knight in Another World Season 2, Clevatess Season 2, and the newly announced Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games. All titles will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
Skeleton Knight in Another World Season 2 continues the isekai adventure of Arc, a gamer who wakes up in a fantasy world trapped inside the body of his avatar a fully armored skeleton knight. The first season aired in Spring 2022 and built a dedicated following for its blend of action, comedy, and surprisingly earnest character dynamics. Clevatess Season 2 picks up the story of Cless and his companions navigating a world of tactical combat and political intrigue, following a well-received debut season. Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, meanwhile, is a fresh adaptation that centers on the intersection of competitive gaming culture and school life, marking its anime debut this summer.
Screenings begin at 7:00 PM local time on Sunday, June 15. The event spans a wide network of major theater chains, including AMC Theatres, Regal, Cinemark, Alamo Drafthouse, Harkins Theatres, Landmark Cinemas, and Cineplex. With participation from over 280 locations, the footprint covers both the United States and Canada, making it one of the larger Crunchyroll Anime Nights events to date.
Tickets are available now through Fandango. Specific pricing may vary by theater chain and location, so fans are encouraged to check their local listings for exact costs and seat availability.
Crunchyroll Anime Nights has become a recurring fixture for the platform, giving fans a communal big-screen experience ahead of standard streaming premieres. The June event serves as a preview window for what's shaping up to be a stacked Summer 2026 season. By letting audiences sample episodes from three distinct genres isekai action, fantasy drama, and gaming comedy the lineup casts a wide net.
For viewers who prefer to wait for the streaming rollout, all three titles will begin airing on Crunchyroll in July 2026. The theatrical screening offers the advantage of seeing these premieres roughly two weeks early in a theater setting, a format that has drawn increasingly enthusiastic turnout at previous Anime Nights installments.
The June 15 event is currently limited to the United States and Canada. Crunchyroll has not announced any equivalent theatrical screenings for international markets, including India. Indian fans will be able to catch all three series when they launch on Crunchyroll's streaming platform in July.
With tickets already on sale and over 280 theaters participating, the June 15 Crunchyroll Anime Nights event offers North American fans one of the earliest opportunities to experience the Summer 2026 anime season on the big screen.
