Adult Swim has now slotted Crunchyroll as a premiere content partner for Toonami which means we could be seeing an expanded block or more recent shows coming on board – hopefully with more shows swapping out from time to time.
Crunchyroll is under the WarnerMedia overall umbrella through its owners and so is Adult Swim as part of Cartoon Network.
“Our partnership with Crunchyroll will open up exciting new possibilities for both of us,” Jason DeMarco, SVP and creative director for on-air at Adult Swim, said in the official announcement.
The big thing is that the two will work on licensed content, co-productions, and distribution opportunities together.
