“Crunchyroll has an extraordinary opportunity to introduce fans to more animation styles from Asia, and this exciting new series from Korea does just that. And having the music of so many K-pop stars really broadens the appeal of ‘Bastions. BTS is expected to provide an overwhelming sense of immersion to the emotions and action scenes of the series by singing the theme song in perfect harmony.”
In addition to BTS’ involvement, Bastions will also feature the music of girl band Le Sserafim and singers Heize and AleXa.
