Yo, Sakaki here! We've got great news from Crunchyroll: They've announced they'll be streaming the Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction anime! As you all may know, the series was animated as a two part movie in Japan --the first part released in April, and the second coming out May 24th. Crunchyroll has announced that they'll be getting a streaming version on their platform starting May 23rd, which will be 18 episodes and adds new content not seen in the movies.

We got to see part one of the movie in theaters during our stay in Japan and it's a wonderful adaptation that breathes new life into the manga. Make sure you're seated for this one come Friday!
