Crunchyroll will roll out Anime Movie Night this April, bringing films and TV series to the silver screen.

The special anime event will happen each quarter for the rest of the year. Anime Movie Night will feature films from Japan or even episodes from a show, though no titles were specified.

"As demand for anime continues to grow in the U.S. and around the world, it's a thrill to have the opportunity to bring the latest hits, as well as the anime that fans know and love, into theaters — often for the very first time," said Crunchyroll general manager Kun Gao in a statement.

Screenvision Media and KAOS Connect are teaming up with Crunchyroll for Anime Movie Night. The event will include behind-the-scenes content and industry interviews.
