Crunchyroll has reached an agreement with Amazon to join its stable of Prime Video channels, joining Max, Starz and Paramount+. You can access the content via the Prime Video app.
Crunchyroll, a subsidiary of Sony, reached an agreement with Amazon to launch on Prime Video Channels, giving anime-niacs a new way to stream their favorite content,Amazon’s Prime Video Channels is a hub that offers access to Amazon’s stable of original content, but also lets users sign up for third-party streamers like Max, Starz, Paramount+ and others.
This agreement brings two tiers of Crunchyroll to Prime Video customers in the US, Canada, Sweden and the UK. The Fan subscription gives you full access to the entire catalog of anime, which includes over 1,000 titles and 30,000 episodes. You also get brand-new series at the same time they air in Japan and the streamer’s full collection of digital manga.
Terry Li, EVP of emerging business at Crunchyroll, says this move will allow even the “anime-curious” to “get immersed in our library.” Crunchyroll already has plenty of subscribers,, and this should push that count even higher. Sony purchased Crunchyroll from AT&T in 2021 for $1.2 billion, combining it with Funimation to create an absolute behemoth of cartoonery.
Of course, just like Max, Starz and the rest, Prime Video isn’t the only way to access Crunchyroll. You can still download the app and sign up as normal. No matter which way you choose to consume Crunchyroll content, you’ll pay $8 a month for the Fan tier and $10 a month for the Mega Fan tier.As the two continue to gobble up content partners, it seems like consumers will end up with something that looks and feels a whole lot like cable.
