Kaiju No. 8 season 2, episode 1 release date: what time is it on Crunchyroll?
Kaiju No. 8 season 2, episode 1 will be released on Crunchyroll on July 19 at 7:00 AM Pacific/10:00 AM Eastern. That's 3:00 PM over in the UK.
Oddly, that premiere time is being listed as a live broadcast, with the stream then being available at 7:30 AM Pacific/10:30 AM Eastern. As this is one of the first times Crunchyroll has done it, let's wait and see what that means for subscribers. If we had to guess, there's a chance to tune in on the hour for the full episode, much like with YouTube Premieres. Then anyone can stream at their leisure as soon as it finishes.
