Crunchyroll Comes to Prime Video Channels

The Crunchyroll subscription service has become available via Prime Video Channels in the U.S. and will launch later this week in Canada, Sweden and the U.K.

Prime members can select from two Crunchyroll memberships: Fan or Mega Fan. Both allow customers to stream the entire Crunchyroll library ad-free while having access to new episodes shortly after they release in Japan. Mega Fan subscribers can also download titles for offline viewing, with additional non-video benefits to be added in the future.

The Crunchyroll library consists of 24,000 hours and 46,000 episodes of over 1,300 anime series and films.

“Crunchyroll offers an anime adventure for every kind of fan. From sports to romantic comedy, horror and action to slice-of-life, even the anime-curious can get immersed in our library,” said Terry Li, executive VP of emerging business at Crunchyroll. “We look forward to welcoming new fans into the anime community through our launch on Prime Video Channels.”

“Prime Video already offers an unparalleled collection of premium entertainment, including third-party channels, so customers can enjoy their favorite movies and series directly on Prime Video,” said Matt Cohen, head of content acquisition and partnerships at Prime Video Channels. “With the addition of Crunchyroll to Prime Video Channels, Prime members can now easily stream anime content on Prime Video.”
