If you're into anime, then you'll want to know that Crunchyroll is running a month-long celebration of all things anime. Dubbed 'Ani-May', the popular streaming service is using the opportunity to run a membership sale, which gives you three months of Mega Fan for $2.99 / £1.99 or three months of Fan for $1.99 / £1.49 per month.
This deal is perfectly timed with highly anticipated spring titles and breakout hits launching soon alongside this year’s most celebrated, Anime Awards-nominated series. So, if you're currently watching anime on Netflix, here’s why we think you should ditch Netflix for Crunchyroll.
Netflix just can't compete with Crunchyroll when it comes to volume. It has the world’s largest dedicated anime library, including new releases like Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and Witch Hat Atelier, as well as Anime Awards standouts such as Solo Leveling and Apothecary Diaries.
These premium memberships allow you to watch the entire library ad-free, watch new episodes shortly after they debut in Japan, and access other exclusive discounts on the Crunchyroll Store. So, I wouldn't miss your chance to get all this for as little as $1.99 / £1.49 per month.
Today's best anime subscription deal
3 months of Mega Fan for $2.99 / £1.99 or 3 months of Fan for $1.99 / £1.49 per month
Boasting the largest library of anime series in a globally available streaming service, Crunchyroll is the best place to access all the best anime has to offer. At these discounted prices it's never been more affordable to binge-watch all your favorite shows and movies.
Crunchyroll Mega Fan is the mid-tier premium subscription level offered by the anime streaming platform. It sits right between the basic Fan plan and the top-tier Ultimate Fan plan (only available in the US). As well as being able to watch on four independent devices simultaneously, it's also possible to download episodes and movies so you don't go burning through your data.
If you're only a solo viewer and don't care about offline watching, then the Fan tier will be more than sufficient. You still get ad-free streaming, full library access, 1080p / 4K quality, and a 5% discount in the Crunchyroll Store. You can also always start on the basic Fan package and upgrade to Mega Fan later on.
