Rascal Does Not Dream series gets a new anime adaptation

Following the theatrical release of the franchise’s latest film, the official website of Rascal Does Not Dream announced the University Arc’s anime adaptation. The website also revealed a special Illustration along with the announcement, featuring Mai from her university days.

For the time being, there is only a handful of information about the anime adaptation, but we should keep an eye on social media or the official website for any further details.

Rascal Does Not Dream plot explained

Rascal Does Not Dream revolves around a high schooler named Sakuta, who encounters a girl named Mai Sakurajime. She appears in a bunny dress in front of him on their first meeting. Strangely, no one except Sakuta can see or feel her presence. However, Mai isn’t disturbed seeing that none of her schoolmates can see her – instead, she gets excited. That’s because she’s at the heart of a rare phenomenon that makes her invisible to almost everyone – but, surprisingly, Sakuta can see her.

When Sakuta realizes what’s happening, he names the phenomenon “adolescence syndrome” and decides to solve the mystery and find out more about it. During the investigation, Mai and Sakuta get romantically involved with each other.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
  2.  Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
  3.  Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference; for example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan, or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
