Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? release schedule: When are new episodes on Crunchyroll?

by

A new romantic comedy anime, ‘Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!?,’ recently premiered this spring, and new episodes are being released on a regular schedule.

The anime series is based on a manga created by Norishiro-chan and Sakana Uozumi. It centers around Takuya Seo, a reserved anime fan, whose ordinary school life gets turned upside down when two popular girls in his class begin to show interest in him. Crunchyroll announced it would stream the show before its debut on April 8, 2026.

This new show offers viewers a fresh weekly romantic comedy, adapting the manga’s blend of clumsy school life, common geeky hobbies, and the typical miscommunications between popular girls and loners.

Here’s the release schedule for Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? and when new episodes will be available on Crunchyroll, starting with episodes 1 and 2.

The anime series Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? follows Takuya Seo, a quiet high school student who tries to hide his passion for otaku culture, much like the original manga.

Things get complicated when Kei Amane and Kotoko Ijichi start including him in their lives, leading to a funny and heartwarming school story about finding common interests and navigating different friend groups.

Amane is calm and a bit quirky, contrasting with the very energetic and affectionate Ijichi, who often gets physically close to Seo. The three characters bond over their shared love of anime and common interests, and this is likely where the show will get most of its humor and heartwarming moments.
