Twitch follows up Mister Rogers with a Crunchyroll anime marathon on July 27

Soon you’ll be able to get your anime fix on the livestreaming platform Twitch, which just partnered with the anime hosting site Crunchyroll for a 5-day marathon starting on July 27.

Though Twitch is known primarily for games, it’s also made a push into non-gaming content such as its video-blog section IRL. It also features channels for creative streams, like art and music, and it’s held successful non-gaming marathons before. In 2015, it streamed 403 episodes of Bob Ross’s The Joy of Painting, which drew 5.6 million viewers. Earlier this year, it broadcast Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for 18 days. This is its first anime marathon, and according to Twitch’s director of emerging content marketing Annie Berrones, it’s expecting a warm response.
