Funimation to Stream The Case Study of Vanitas, More Anime for Summer 2021 Season (Updated)

Update: Funimation originally stated to ANN that it was planning on streaming "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Films," but an updated announcement removed the word "films." Also we removed mention of "Natsume's Book of Friends original video anime" from the article as Funimation released the Natsume Yūjin-Chō: Ishi Okoshi to Ayashiki Raihōsha film as two OVAs.

Funimation announced on Friday during its Summer Season Preview event that it will stream the following anime this summer:

• The Case Study of Vanitas
• Sonny Boy (first episode premieres early on Friday)
• Scarlet Nexus (first episode premieres early on Friday)
• RE-MAIN
• How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom
• Robotech (Funimation had previously announced a fall release for streaming)

Funimation will stream the following films:

• The Stranger by the Shore
• Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train
• Natsume Yūjin-Chō: Ishi Okoshi to Ayashiki Raihōsha

Funimation will also continue to stream the following anime

• That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 Part 2
• One Piece
• My Hero Academia Season 5

Funimation is streaming the first episodes for the Sonny Boy and Scarlet Nexus anime ahead of their official Japanese premiere dates on Friday after its preview livestream on YouTube.
