The deal will see Bioworld gain access to Crunchyroll’s library of anime including “Dr. Stone,” “Black Clover,” “Mob Psycho 100,” “Yuri!!! on ICE,” “Bananya,” “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime,” “The Rising of the Shield Hero,” “DARLING in the FRANXX,” “Re:ZERO” and “Goblin Slayer.” New properties will be leveraged for a diverse range of products from fashion to kitchenware.
