Crunchyroll Announces Giant Killing Simulcast

Crunchyroll has just announced its forthcoming simulcast of the 26 episode slice of life sports series Giant Killing, animated by Studio Deen.  The series centers on the East Tokyo United soccer club which has lost almost all of its stars, fans and self-respect save for one veteran player.

The team’s board of directors brings in a genius player turned coach who left the team 10 years earlier for a career in Europe. Now the new coach has to find a way to unite the players, bring back the fans and create a winning club from virtually nothing.

The first and latest  episode will be added this Sunday May 24th at, 8:30am Pacific with new episodes going up every Sunday thereafter for Anime/All-Access members. The stream will be available to United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Australia, and New Zealand.
