With anime continuing to rise in popularity around the world, Crunchyroll is headed to San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Crunchyroll will bring anime fans a slate of amazing events. These include the first-ever Crunchyroll Ultimate Anime Fitness Challenge, massive and immersive show floor pieces, insightful panels, and first-ever anime exhibits at the Comic-Con Museum.
Crunchyroll at San Diego Comic-Con
If you have ever wanted to train like your favorite anime character, then you are in luck. Crunchyroll is teaming up with Hardcore Fitness in Downtown San Diego to create Crunchyroll’s Ultimate Anime Fitness Challenge. This challenge puts bodies in motion for a unique training arc. Crunchyroll subscribers and SDCC badge holders looking to get swole (it’s really a non-intensive, light workout) can sign up for sessions at 9 AM and 10 AM on Friday, July 21st and Saturday, July 22nd. Fitness writer, influencer, and anime fan Charles Thorp will take trainees through accessible fitness routines inspired by anime heroes. These routines include weight training, self-defense, and more.
Throughout the convention, Crunchyroll will be on the San Diego Comic-Con show floor. Visit its most advanced booth ever [#4135] that will activate with scenes and sounds from hit anime, whisking fans away into beloved worlds. Comic-Con goers that long for their own domain expansions may enter The JUJUTSU KAISEN Experience, where fans will find themselves immersed in iconic moments. Crunchyroll is also giving out swag at this booth, including Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO wristbands. Fans can also bring home Solo Leveling and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba posters alongside giveaway art cards for JUJUTSU KAISEN and My Hero Academia art cards.
In homage to the classic legends and new-generation favorites of the pop culture world, Crunchyroll is presenting new exhibits and features at Comic-Con Museum. Beginning Tuesday, July 18 at 10 AM PT, a statue depicting the legendary fight between My Hero Academia’s All Might and All for One will be on display. Also, in partnership with Mondo, Crunchyroll will honor Cowboy Bebop’s 25th anniversary with an exhibit that features 28 never-before-seen commissioned art pieces. Tickets are available on the Comic-Con Museum Official Website.

CRUNCHYROLL’S ULTIMATE ANIME FITNESS CHALLENGE:
Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22 at 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM
Hardcore Fitness – 1014 Fifth Ave STE 120, San Diego, CA 92101
Get ready to learn to workout like your favorite anime characters. Crunchyroll will pump the iron (again, a light workout) and the jams. No workout is complete without a killer playlist. When the music stops, attendees can take back some electrolytes and wipe off that thick post-workout sweat (a light workout, we promise!) with a free Crunchyroll Water Bottle and Crunchyroll Gym Towel. Spoiler warning: they’re a very cool orange! It’s not a workout without a complimentary smoothie that is also orange. Register at CrunchyrollAnimeFitness.
