Durarara!!×2's second arc streaming date set

Aniplex of America announced on Wednesday that it will simulcast the anime Classroom Crisis, Charlotte, and Wagnaria!!3 (Working!!!) this summer, along with Durarara!!×2 Ten and God Eater.

Classroom Crisis will premiere on July 3 on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Viewster, Daisuki, and the Aniplex Channel. Aniplex of America describes the series:

Fourth Tokyo--one of Japan's new prefectures on Mars. Kirishina City, Fourth Tokyo's special economic zone, is home to the Kirishina Corporation, an elite corporation renowned for its aerospace business. The company has been expanding its market share in various industries, while also running a private school, the Kirishina Science and Technology Academy High School. That alone would make it unique, but there's also a high-profile class on campus.

Devoting themselves to their studies during the day, they then report to the company after school to take part in a crucial project, the development of prototype variants for rockets. This is the Kirishina Corporation's Advanced Technological Development Department, Educational Development Class, a.k.a. A-TEC. A-TEC's chief, the young engineering genius, Kaito Sera, is also the homeroom teacher of the A-TEC students attending the academy, affectionately (?) known as the Raving Rocket Teacher.

The story begins with the arrival of a transfer student to A-TEC.

The A-TEC members are ready to welcome their new classmate, but the student in question is kidnapped en route to Mars. Determining that they themselves will have to be the ones to overcome this crisis, Kaito and the A-TEC students embark on an unprecedented rescue mission.

The anime will air in Japan in the Animeism programming block beginning on July 3.

The Charlotte anime from creator Jun Maeda (Angel Beats!, Clannad, Kanon) will premiere on July 4 on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Viewster, Daisuki, and the Aniplex Channel. Aniplex of America describes the series:

Very few adolescent boys and girls have an onset of special abilities. Yu Otosaka is one such man who uses his ability unbeknownst to others in order to lead a satisfying school life. Then one day, a girl named Nao Tomori suddenly appears before him. Their encounter reveals the destiny for wielders of special abilities.

Key is releasing the anime in celebration of its 15th anniversary, and the series will be Maeda's second original anime work, with the first being Angel Beats! in 2010.

Wagnaria!!3 will premiere on July 4 on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Viewster, Daisuki, and the Aniplex Channel. Aniplex of America describes the series:

The story takes place in a certain family restaurant located in Hokkaido prefecture of Japan called WAGNARIA. Sota Takanashi is a high school student who ended up working part-time at this restaurant through strange circumstances along with his co-workers who are all more than a little eccentric.

Wagnaria!!3 (Working!!!) is the third anime season based on Karino Takatsu's Working!!! manga. Crunchyroll streamed the first two as they aired in Japan, and NIS America licensed and released both in North America under the title Wagnaria!!

God Eater will premiere on July 5 as a Daisuki exclusive and Durarara!!×2 Ten will premiere on July 4 on Hulu, Crunchyroll, Daisuki, and the Aniplex Channel.
