Crunchyroll and STARZ are teaming up to give fans access to some of the biggest franchises of all time, and it's all available on Prime Video. This new bundle offers a unified viewing experience and potential savings for subscribers, with access to both STARZ and Crunchyroll for $16.99 per month.
Per a press release from Amazon News, Amazon's Prime Video subscribers in the United States now have access to this new bundle, which includes hundreds of hours of their favorite anime series, ranging from Dragon Ball and Naruto to My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
The Inspiration Behind the New Arc
Crunchyroll Chief Product Officer and EVP of Emerging Business Terry Li said of the initiative, 'At Crunchyroll, we believe anime is a powerful medium for storytelling and connection, and our goal is to continue bringing it to more audiences in more accessible ways. This launch is a meaningful step in expanding how fans can discover and connect with the series they love, while opening the door for even more viewers to experience the breadth of anime storytelling.'
Matt Huntley, Director of U.S. Channels for Prime Video, stated, 'The addition of the Crunchyroll and STARZ bundle reflects Prime Video's commitment to delivering value and convenience for customers as we continue to expand the breadth of our bundle offerings. Whether it's premium dramas, blockbuster films, or world-class anime, Prime Video is making it seamless for customers to access the entertainment they want, all in one place.'
As noted by Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini, 'Crunchyroll's expansion in Taiwan is only the beginning. We are committed to making a long-term investment in one of Asia's most passionate anime communities. With Traditional Chinese support, the latest episodes streaming within one hour of their Japanese broadcasts, and an ever-expanding catalog of classic and new titles, we hope to provide fans with the best possible anime experience through Crunchyroll.'
