Crunchyroll & Hulu @ Anime Expo 2026

 

Crunchyroll might be the biggest booth and presence at Anime Expo this year. Here's some info on both their booth and the huge amount of panels they're bringing to AX 2026.

 

First off, Crunchyroll's booth (#2326); it'll be hard to miss as the giant one in the back is going all out again this year. 

 

From the press release:

"Fans can step behind the mic to experience the art of voice acting with scenes from Attack on Titan, BLUE LOCK, Sentenced to Be a Hero, Solo Leveling, and more. 

Crunchyroll Booth will also have its most immersive anime experiences ever. Dive
headfirst into Daemons of the Shadow Realm as well as Witch Hat Atelier—streaming on Crunchyroll now. More info coming soon.

Crunchyroll News and Newtype magazine are collaborating once again this year for a summer 2026 special issue available for free at the Crunchyroll Booth at Anime Expo 2026 while supplies last. The special issue will include exclusive art, interviews and more on the latest series streaming on Crunchyroll. The magazine will feature insight from the cast and staff behind Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Black Clover, and other hit anime series, alongside messages from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and TK from Ling tosite sigure. "

 

So, you have multiple experiences, including a dubbing one and they brought back Newtype Magazine from the dead again. I'm sure they'll have more schwag than that.  

 

We've already highlighted a bunch of our top panels. But here's all of Crunchroll's Panels @ AX 2026

 

 Hulu Animayhem  at Hulu's booth (#2130) is well, right next to Crunchyroll's. So, also hard to miss.

 

Here's the activities announced so far via a press release:
