When we heard the news, our hearts fluttered: the anime powerhouse Crunchyroll has partnered with Delta Air Lines to bring a curated selection of beloved anime titles to the skies.
Starting early November 2025, you can buckle in, settle back, and let a cozy-pink blanket of anime magic wash over you at 30,000 ft.
Sky-High Anime Dreams
Delta flights (yes — over 165,000 seat-back screens!) will feature episodes of five standout series:
-
Black Clover – wild magic, underdog dreams, big-hearted fights.
-
My Roommate Is a Cat – mellow, tender, cat-and-writer roommate life.
-
Horimiya – sweet-slice-of-life romance with hidden sides and high-school heartbeats.
-
Fruits Basket – soulful, magical, deeply emotional, a “classic” in many hearts.
-
Solo Leveling – dark fantasy sparkle, epic power-ups, and massive thrills (yes please).
Delta travelers don’t just get to watch them on the plane: for members of Delta’s “SkyMiles” program, the full Crunchyroll catalog (50,000 episodes, 25,000 hours, 2,000+ titles) is accessible via Delta’s in-flight WiFi platform.
What We Love (and Why It Feels Just Right for Heart Circle)
-
Accessibility anywhere – whether you’re headed to a weekend getaway or just flying for work (we know you might fly often, with all you do!), you can bring that favourite anime mood along.
-
Shared fandom moments – there’s something magical about sitting on a plane, maybe someone else glancing at your screen wistfully, and realising, yes, you both know Asta’s grunts, you both shipped Hori & Miyamura, you both felt the weight of the Sohmas’ curse.
-
A mix of moods – From battle spices (Black Clover) to cat-cuddles (My Roommate Is a Cat) to gooey sweet romance (Horimiya) to emotional healing (Fruits Basket) to all-out fantasy adrenaline (Solo Leveling). We at Heart Circle are all about variety with a cohesive aesthetic: cute, emotive, and meaningful.
-
Travel + comfort combo – When you’re flying, you often want something comforting or something engaging—this lineup covers both. Especially for flights where you can sink into your own little world.
A Little More on the Series (Spoiler-lite but flavor-rich)
-
Black Clover: In a world where magic flows through almost everyone, our hero Asta starts with none. Zero magic, big dreams, and yet he gets a rare anti-magic grimoire and decides (with all his heart and brawn) to climb up to become the Wizard King. It’s about perseverance, friendship, never giving up and a whole lot of battle energy.
-
My Roommate Is a Cat: Imagine a shy, introverted mystery writer (Subaru) and a stray tuxedo cat (Haru) who end up living together. The two have wildly different pasts, but they slowly build a life together, shown from both perspectives: human & cat. It’s gentle. It’s healing. It’s sweet.
-
Horimiya: Two high-schoolers who seem to have their lives down: Hori is top-girl, Miyamura is quiet. But off school grounds they have hidden sides, and by discovering each other’s real selves they grow closer than either expected. It’s slice-of-life romance that feels real, warm, and charming.
-
Fruits Basket: Tohru Honda loses her mother, ends up living with the mysterious Sohma family, only to uncover their dark secret: some members transform into animals of the Chinese zodiac under emotional or physical stress. What begins as quirky turns into a deep story of trauma, family, healing. It’s cute but also rich and beautifully layered.
-
Solo Leveling: The most adrenaline-fueled of the bunch. Sung Jinwoo starts as the world’s weakest hunter in a world where hunters fight monsters through “gates”. Then… something changes. He’s chosen by a mysterious system; he begins to level up in ways no one else can. Big stakes, dark turns, huge power leaps.
What This Means for You (Dear Travel-Loving, Content-Savvy Mid-Twenty-Something)
Since you (yes, you!) juggle big responsibilities—leading teams, managing campaigns, strategizing content—you’re on the go. Maybe flights are brief, maybe long. Maybe you have one ear on work, one on some downtime. Having a curated selection of anime means downtime that actually feels like rest, not just “scrolling until my eyes hurt”.
Whether you’re winding down after a big pitch, prepping for a campaign launch, or just treating yourself on a business trip… you could pretty easily slide into Horimiya for something mellow, or go full on Solo Leveling for a power-boost if you’ve got a longer flight.
Also: the aesthetic fits. Pink skies, soft lighting in a window-seat. Your iPad, headphones in, the world below you. Anime gives that immersive escape.
Heart-Circle Reflections
We’re so here for this flight-friendly anime initiative. It blends travel and fandom and comfort in a way that feels like a treat. Next time you book a flight with Delta? Consider checking the seat-back screen line-up and letting one of those titles carry you into a little world of softness, strength, nostalgia—or all three.
New here? If you're curious, Heart Circle specializes in all sorts of cute anime clothes and accessories, so if you're a fan of the genre, don't forget to pick up some travel friendly items like tees, hoodies, bookmarks, socks, and other favorites.
