The 2014 adventure series Joker is now streaming on Crunchyroll, featuring both English dub and subtitle options. The show follows the titular phantom thief, a "Miracle Maker" who uses a blend of flashy tricks, science, and what appears to be magic to pull off daring heists and evade the persistent Inspector Oniyama.
Produced by Shin-Ei Animation, known for its long-running franchises like Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan, Joker adapts a manga of the same name. The series joins the phantom thief during a heist where he encounters Hachi, a ninja who becomes his clumsy but loyal companion. The 13-episode run is now available in its entirety, making it a straightforward binge.
With a MAL score of 7.03, Joker offers a lighthearted shonen adventure focused on mystery and comedic escapes. Its sequel, Joker 2nd Season, is also available on the platform, allowing fans to continue the story after the initial 13 episodes.
