Spotlight: Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll has positioned itself as the premier home for anime for over ten years.

“Thanks to our unique position, we recently crossed a major milestone of 70 million registered users and 3 million subscribers, demonstrating that the growth around anime shows no sign of slowing down,” says Waell Oueslati, acquisition and licensing director.

Crunchyroll’s top properties in 2021 will include My Hero Academia and Captain Tsubasa in Europe and the Crunchyroll original series Tower of God and The God of High School. “Anime continues to grow in popularity all over the world,” Oueslati says. “We see anime’s evolution from an exclusively Japanese category to a worldwide sensation as one of the most fascinating case studies in modern branding history and a testament to the power of anime’s ability to tell rich, captivating stories.”

He adds, “Anime has become a celebrated part of pop culture.”
