Crunchyroll took the opportunity of San Diego Comic-Con to talk about the establishment of their monthly Crunchyroll Anime Nights. Every third Monday of a new month, a different anime movie will be screened at select theaters from the following chains: AMC Theatres, Regal, Alamo Drafthouse, Cinemark Theatres, Harkins Theatres and Landmark Cinemas.
The very first of these Crunchyroll Anime Nights will take place on October 20 and will play Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A lonely dragon wants to be loved. Here is an official description of the movie:
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A lonely dragon wants to be loved Plot
Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and Iruru’s peaceful lives are shattered when Kanna’s father, Kamun Kamui, leader of the Chaos Forces, arrives and forces her to return to the Dragon World to fix a past mistake. With a war brewing between Chaos and Harmony, Kanna must find a way to unite the two worlds but is torn between her loyalty to her friends and her father’s demands. Miss Kobayashi, however, refuses to let her go and tries to mend Kanna and Kamui’s broken bond. As dragons clash, Iruru uncovers a hidden force manipulating the war. Can they stop the war before it consumes both worlds?
Then on November 17 they’ll offer OVERLORD. Here is an official description for the movie:
