MAOMAO & JINSHI HEAD TO THE BIG SCREEN: THE FIRST-EVER APOTHECARY DIARIES FEATURE FILM!
Mumbai, India (October 9, 2026) – Crunchyroll, the ultimate home for anime worldwide, announced today it has officially acquired the North American and worldwide rights (excluding Asia but including India) for the mystery anime feature film The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure.
Crunchyroll and Sony Pictures Entertainment will distribute the film in cinemas globally, with official release dates to be announced soon. The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure is a brand new mystery written directly by series creator Hyuganatsu, marking the momentous first-ever theatrical film adaptation in the blockbuster franchise. The film is directed by acclaimed visionary Norihiro Naganuma with animation produced by TOHO animation STUDIO!
Season 3 premiered on Crunchyroll on October 2, 2026. Catch up on all episodes before the movie hits Indian theaters!
The emperor gives Jinshi an imperial order: he must grant the final wish of a concubine who passed away five years ago by returning her to her homeland. In order to return her to her family, Jinshi examines the remains, only to discover that they are in pristine condition—she is beautiful, as if she were still alive.
To solve the baffling mystery of the preserved remains, Jinshi drags Maomao along on a perilous journey to Binan-shu, the southern province ruled by the influential Bi clan.
They arrive at a bustling city on the water. Maomao is thrilled to discover rare herbs and exotic medicines she has never seen before, but tensions are dangerously high in the area, as pirates are viciously trying to unearth the secret treasure their late leader hid away.
“I hope nothing happens...” — Jinshi’s ominous premonition comes true. On the day of the concubine’s funeral, a colossal incident occurs, triggering an unstoppable chain of events that nobody could have anticipated!
The Apothecary Diaries is a global smash hit selling over 57 million copies worldwide across novels and manga. Its anime adaptation, which began broadcast in October 2023, captivated worldwide audiences with Maomao’s delightfully sharp personality, authentic forensic medical mysteries, and touching human drama in an opulent imperial setting.
Crunchyroll’s theatrical distribution team (in partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment) has been behind 10 of the Top 20 best-performing anime films in box office history:
With The Apothecary Diaries: The Late Lady’s Treasure hitting cinemas internationally and in India, fans can look forward to a grand, cinematic visual spectacle animated by TOHO animation STUDIO.

STEEL BALL RUN RETURNS: NETFLIX CONFIRMS SEPTEMBER 25 PREMIERE • 11 WEEKLY EPISODES • ARIZONA DESERT & ROCKY MOUNTAIN STAGES
flag 1. The Great American Transcontinental Race: Stages 2 & 3 Unleashed
Following the electrifying premiere of the 47-minute 1st Stage in March 2026, Netflix and David Production have officially unveiled the long-awaited continuation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run! The 1890 transcontinental horse race across North America now thrusts racers into its most brutal physical and supernatural trials yet.
The upcoming release directly covers the 2nd Stage (The Arizona Desert Crossing)—a grueling 1,200-kilometer test of sheer endurance under scorching temperatures—followed by the vertical perils of the 3rd Stage (The Rocky Mountain Pass). As competitors drop from exhaustion and dehydration, the race transforms from a sporting spectacle into a lethal gauntlet where only Stand users and masters of the Spin can survive.
calendar_month 2. Netflix Tudum Release Slate: Return of the Sacred "JoJo Friday"
In an official dispatch published on Netflix Tudum, the streaming giant addressed long-standing fan requests by confirming a weekly episodic release pattern. Instead of dropping all episodes at once in a bulk binge batch, the series will adopt the beloved traditional "JoJo Friday" schedule!
Beginning on Friday, September 25, 2026, a total of 11 brand-new episodes (Episodes 2 through 12) will drop every consecutive Friday worldwide through December 4, 2026. This format allows the global community to dissect every Stand encounter, horse-racing tactical maneuver, and plot twist week after week.
pets 3. Diego Brando Awakens "Scary Monsters" • The Hunt for the Saint's Corpse
As highlighted on the official September 25 key visual, the 2nd and 3rd Stages prominently spotlight the fan-favorite rival Diego "Dio" Brando, voiced by Takehito Koyasu.

DRAGON BALL SUPER: BEERUS
Original Work, Story & Character Design by Akira Toriyama • Animation Production: Toei Animation • Music: Norihito Sumitomo
DRAGON BALL SUPER: BEERUS (2026) – TOEI REVEAL, CRUNCHYROLL TRANSITION & INDIAN REGIONAL DUB INSIDER REPORT
auto_stories 1. Toei Animation's Official Reveal: An Enhanced Canon Masterpiece
Toei Animation has officially confirmed that Dragon Ball Super: Beerus is scheduled to commence broadcasting and global streaming on October 11, 2026! Unlike a routine rebroadcast, this project is a fully reconstructed, enhanced edition of the seminal early story arcs of Dragon Ball Super—specifically encompassing the God of Destruction Beerus Saga, the Resurrection 'F' (Golden Frieza) Saga, and the Universe 6 Tournament Saga.
Featuring untouched canonical oversight from creator Akira Toriyama before his passing, this enhanced series eliminates the notorious animation inconsistencies of the 2015 television debut. In their place are thousands of redrawn keyframes, modernized lighting and energy aura VFX, cinematic fight choreography, and a fast-paced, zero-filler structure that aligns strictly with Toriyama's original manga vision. Most importantly, it serves as the direct technical and narrative launchpad leading directly into the eagerly anticipated Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol (Moro Arc) anime series!
swap_horiz 2. The Streaming Paradigm Shift: From Cartoon Network TV to Crunchyroll India
For years, Indian television fans experienced Dragon Ball Super primarily through Cartoon Network India, which broadcasted episodes 1 through 131 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. However, the international distribution landscape has decisively transformed.
Crunchyroll India has now officially established itself as the digital epicenter for the franchise. In 2024–2025, Crunchyroll onboarded the complete foundational catalog—including Dragon Ball (1986), Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Super—in Japanese and English audio on Indian servers, alongside the simulcast of Dragon Ball Daima. Crucially, in a recent community promotional video addressing fan questions from Instagram, Crunchyroll India specifically showcased and winked at a fan comment inquiring about "Dragon Ball Hindi Dub Release", sending the strongest signal yet that regional localization is actively underway behind closed doors.
mic 3. Voice Acting Icons: Will Ankur Javeri (Goku) & Rajesh Kava (Beerus) Return?
The Indian anime fandom is unanimous on one point: Ankur Javeri IS Son Goku, and Rajesh Kava IS Lord Beerus. Their electrifying dubbing on Cartoon Network turned the Hindi dub into an overnight cultural sensation across India.
Following the initial leaks and announcement of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, both veteran voice artists openly shared their excitement and mutual eagerness to reprise their legendary roles. In candid community discussions and reaction interviews, they confirmed that they want nothing more than to step into the recording booth again for Goku and Beerus, while realistically highlighting the industry truth: "Paison aur contracts ka mamla hai kaun legal rights ke sath dub finalize karega."
With Crunchyroll's proven track record of investing heavily in tier-1 Indian voice talent—such as retaining iconic legacy actors for mega-franchises—industry analysts strongly expect Crunchyroll India to secure Ankur Javeri and Rajesh Kava for the official Hindi dub of Dragon Ball Super: Beerus, fulfilling the greatest wish of millions of Indian DB fans!
