Why are there two Crunchyroll times?
Crunchyroll distinguished its live stream from the later on-demand upload. The live stream was scheduled to align with the Japanese broadcast; the standard episode listing followed 30 minutes later. Kyle Cardine wrote in Crunchyroll News, in the announcement updated April 20, 2024: “Afterward, new episodes of Kaiju No. 8 will be available on Crunchyroll every Saturday at 7:30 a.m. P.T., following the live broadcast.”
How the Japan and Pacific times line up
The official Japanese series site announced a Saturday broadcast at 23:00 JST on TV Tokyo and affiliated stations, with streaming platforms beginning their rollout from 23:30 JST after the broadcast. Crunchyroll’s 7:00 a.m. PDT live time corresponds to 23:00 JST on Saturday, May 25, 2024. The Japanese announcement describes the general weekly schedule, rather than an episode-specific timestamp for every streaming service: official series schedule announcement.
