Crunchyroll will mount the first-ever “Crunchyroll Ultimate Anime Fitness Challenge,” immersive show floor pieces, panels and anime exhibits at the Comic-Con Museum during San Diego Comic-Con July 20-23.
Crunchyroll is teaming up with Hardcore Fitness in downtown San Diego to create “Crunchyroll’s Ultimate Anime Fitness Challenge.” Crunchyroll subscribers and SDCC badge holders can sign up for non-intensive, light workout sessions at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. July 21 and July 22 at Hardcore Fitness (1014 Fifth Ave., Suite 120). Fitness writer, influencer and anime fan Charles Thorp (along with Crunchyroll co-hosts Lauren Moore and Tim Lyu) will take trainees through accessible fitness routines inspired by anime heroes — weight training, self-defense and more. Fans can register at CrunchyrollAnimeFitness.rsvpify.com; space is limited.
Crunchyroll will also be on the San Diego Comic-Con show floor with a booth (#4135) featuring scenes and sounds from hit anime. Comic-Con attendees that long for their own domain expansions may enter “The”Jujutsu Kaisen” Experience,” where they will find themselves immersed in iconic moments. Also at the booth, Crunchyroll is giving out Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero wristbands; “Solo Leveling” and “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” posters; and art cards for “Jujutsu Kaisen” and “My Hero Academia.”
Crunchyroll is presenting new exhibits and features at the Comic-Con Museum. Beginning July 18 at 10 a.m. PST, a statue depicting the legendary fight between “My Hero Academia’s” All Might and All for One will be on display, and 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.
A Crunchroll industry panel, with info on the anime coming out of Crunchyroll, will take place July 20 at 3 p.m. PST at the San Diego Convention Center, Room 6A. The panel is hosted by Crunchyroll’s Lauren Moore and Tim Lyu.
