Crunchyroll confirmed that several of these series will receive English dubs, with cast details and release schedules dropping soon.
Why Does This Matter?
Fall is traditionally one of the most competitive seasons on the anime calendar. This time around, the heavy hitters are the long-awaited return of Black Clover and the continuation of The Apothecary Diaries, which has become a massive public phenomenon. Meanwhile, the Rayearth reboot appeals to both 90s shojo nostalgia fans and newer audiences who only know CLAMP from Cardcaptor Sakura.
For international fans, the main takeaway is worldwide simulcast availability on Crunchyroll, though specific regional rights may vary by title.
