Crunchyroll has set two premiere screening blocks for Sunday, December 6, at Anime Frontier in Fort Worth, Texas. The convention runs December 4 through 6 at the Fort Worth Convention Center, according to Crunchyroll and Anime News Network.

Separately, ANN has posted several Winter 2027 premiere dates, including Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3 on January 9.

Crunchyroll's December 6 schedule

Crunchyroll's own announcement, dated November 11, lists an 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. block in Room 203ABC with Fate Rewinder; Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms Season 2, Episode 1; and Shangri-La Frontier Season 3, Episode 1.

A second block, from 1:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. on the Mainstage, is billed as Aniplex premieres: Episode 1 of Here U Are, BLESS, Dengeki Daisy, and The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All.

ANN, also reporting on November 11, matches that Sunday lineup. It says a Friday, December 4 premiere block from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. still has titles to be announced, and that a screening of the first three episodes of the new Magic Knight Rayearth anime is already scheduled that evening from 5:45 p.m. to 7:05 p.m. Times are as published by Crunchyroll and ANN for the Fort Worth event; they should be read as local Central Time unless the organizers say otherwise.

Winter 2027 dates that have been confirmed

ANN reported on November 11 that a new promotional video for Mashle: Magic and Muscles Season 3, formally titled the Tri-Magicathalon Divine Visionary Final Exam Arc, announces a January 9 premiere. The series will air on Tokyo MX, BS11, and other Japanese channels at 24:00 on January 9, ANN says, which is effectively midnight on January 10 in Japan. Crunchyroll will stream the third season.

ANN also reported on November 11 that the television anime of ippatu's Tsugumi Project manga has a January 2027 premiere.

On November 12, ANN reported that the official website for Nabe ni Tama wo Ukenagara, also called Nabetama or Getting Shots on a Frying Pan, has revealed a main cast, staff, and a January debut. This article is using ANN's wording of a January debut for that title.

Those three items are the Winter 2027 dates confirmed in the ANN reports cited here. Other calendar claims that we could not verify against ANN or Crunchyroll are omitted.

The takeaway

Anime Frontier is December 4–6 in Fort Worth, with Crunchyroll's published premiere blocks on December 6. For Winter 2027, ANN has Mashle Season 3 premiering January 9 (24:00 in Japan), Tsugumi Project in January 2027, and Nabetama slated for a January debut.
