FX Fighter Kurumi-chan on Crunchyroll: Full Episode Guide & Streaming Details

FX Fighter Kurumi-chan has arrived to make anime‘s money game considerably more stressful. The TV anime begins its Fall 2026 run on October 1, with Crunchyroll streaming the series as it airs internationally. For viewers trying to catch every market meltdown on time, Episode 2 is already locked in for October 8, while the show’s full 12-episode run has also been confirmed.

FX Fighter Kurumi-chan Global Release Details

FX Fighter Kurumi-chan premiered in Japan on October 1, 2026, with AT-X airing the series at 9:30 PM JST, Tokyo MX at 10:30 p.m., BS11 at midnight, and Kansai TV at 1:45 a.m. The official anime website notes that the first two Kansai TV broadcasts instead begin at 1:55 AM (via official X account).

Crunchyroll lists the series as an October 1 simulcast and confirms availability across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India. However, Crunchyroll’s published Fall 2026 lineup did not initially specify an exact streaming time.

Now, Episode 2 is set to air on October 8, 2026. Hence, we have taken the Japanese broadcast as the reference point to estimate the release time on Crunchyroll. The following table shows the time, estimating that the streaming platform will air the episode 60-90 minutes after the Japanese broadcast. So viewers should check the Crunchyroll episode page if the platform adjusts the release time.

Below is the estimated timetable:

Singapore Time (SGT)	October 9	12:00 AM
Philippine Time (PHT)	October 9	12:00 AM

The important wrinkle is that Japan’s “24:00” television notation technically falls on the following calendar day. Thus, BS11’s Episode 2 slot is effectively Friday, October 9 at 12:00 a.m. JST, even though it belongs to the Thursday-night broadcast schedule. The official site confirms the weekly Thursday broadcast pattern and the special 1:55 a.m. Kansai TV timing for Episodes 1 and 2.

What is FX Fighter Kurumi-chan About?

Kurumi Fukuga is a university student who enters the world of FX, or foreign-exchange margin trading, with one very personal objective: recovering the 20 million yen her late mother lost through trading. What begins as a determination to make the money back quickly instead throws Kurumi into a market where profits and losses can swing dramatically.

The first episode rewinds to Kurumi’s middle-school years, when she discovers the scale of her mother’s losses and worries about what could happen to her family. She decides to learn about FX herself and eventually reaches university, where she finally steps into the market. The episode is officially titled “FXって、なぁに？”, translated as “What Is FX?”

Kurumi does not remain alone for long. Mochiko Kogane, Mebuki Yamashi and Yasuko Takane become part of the ensemble, with Asami Seto, Ayasa Ito and Miho Okasaki joining Aina Suzuki as the principal cast.

The anime comes from the ongoing FX Fighter Kurumi-chan manga by Demunyan, with art by Daisuki Tansan, originally published through KADOKAWA’s Monthly Comic Flapper. Animation is produced by Passione, with Yuki Ogawa directing and Kenta Ihara handling series composition and scripts.

That combination gives the show its distinctive hook: a cute character-driven presentation wrapped around the very real mechanics (and risks) of leveraged currency trading. The official material repeatedly emphasizes unrealized losses, stop-losses, and violent market fluctuations, making this less of a conventional school comedy and more of a financial survival story wearing a deceptively adorable anime costume.

How Many Episodes Are in FX Fighter Kurumi-chan?

The anime’s official website confirms a 12-episode run through its collaboration with the FX Navi demo-trading app, which will release explanatory columns corresponding to all 12 episodes.

The dates after Episode 1 follow the confirmed weekly Thursday broadcast pattern. However, the broadcast and streaming schedules may change. In case of any future changes, the official website will announce them. Till then, the following schedule should be considered accurate.

The confirmed weekly schedule currently runs as follows:

Is FX Fighter Kurumi-chan Available Outside Crunchyroll?

Yes, although the answer depends heavily on region. For viewers outside Japan, Crunchyroll is the specifically announced international streaming destination, with the platform confirming that it will stream FX Fighter Kurumi-chan as the anime airs.

So, for international viewers, the safest route is to check the Crunchyroll listing for their territory rather than assuming that a Japanese service such as d Anime Store or U-NEXT will work overseas. With 12 episodes confirmed and the weekly market chaos beginning immediately, Kurumi’s trading career is officially open for business, and apparently, so is the anxiety.

FX Fighter Kurumi-chan Episode 2 arrives on October 8, 2026, on Crunchyroll.
