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, as originally reported by <\/ins>Deadline<\/ins><\/em>.<\/ins><\/a> Amazon\u2019s Prime Video Channels is a hub that offers access to Amazon\u2019s stable of original content, but also lets users sign up for third-party streamers like Max, Starz, Paramount+ and others.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s full collection of digital manga. The Mega Fan subscription includes all of the above, plus offline viewing<\/ins><\/a> and access to four concurrent streams, which is great for those who play fast and loose with their passwords.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Terry Li, EVP of emerging business at Crunchyroll, says this move will allow even the \u201canime-curious\u201d to \u201cget immersed in our library.\u201d Crunchyroll already has plenty of subscribers, 11 million as of earlier this year<\/ins><\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

Of course, just like Max, Starz and the rest, Prime Video isn\u2019t 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\u2019ll pay $8 a month for the Fan tier and $10 a month for the Mega Fan tier.<\/p>\n

Prime Video Channels is in direct competition with the other streaming hub, Apple TV Channels. <\/ins><\/a>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.<\/p>\n
