The upcoming anime adaptation of Yuki Tabata's fantasy manga Black Clover is coming to Crunchyroll this October.

Studio Pierrot, the studio behind Naruto, Bleach, Yu Yu Hakusho and several other wildly popular anime, is animating the Black Clover TV series, which is being produced by TV Tokyo.

The manga series, written and illustrated by Tabata, began serialization in February 2015 and is published in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Black Clover tells the story of two orphan boys named Asta and Yuno, who both dream of being the Wizard King. While they live in a world where everyone has magical powers, Asta doesn't appear to have any magical gifts of his own. Meanwhile, Yuno possesses incredible magical abilities. When the two turn fifteen, they receive magical books that amplify their magic, and Asta is given a Grimoire of Anti-Magic that cancels out and repels the spells of his foe.

In addition to Black Clover, Crunchyroll will debut the new Kino's Journey and PARK: Harajuku Crisis Team! anime this fall.

Crunchyroll just recently announced it's partnering with NBCUniversal to produce new anime for audiences around the world. The company also started an initiative called Anime Movie Night, which brings select anime episodes and movies to theaters. In fact, Crunchyroll is bringing the first three episodes of The Ancient Magus' Bride to North American theaters on July 26.
