Crunchyroll has announced the first additions to its anime line up for the Winter 2021 anime season! With December coming to a close and the final anime series wrapping up their runs for the Fall 2020 anime wave, it’s already time to look ahead to the next wave of new anime releases. Kicking off in January, there are going to be a ton of new anime compared to the amount of releases this year. Whether it be a result of holding back during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or productions kicking up once again, the Winter 2021 season is jam-packed.
