Bad news for fans of Japanese animation. Crunchyroll, the leading anime streaming platform, has just increased its prices. The opportunity to take stock of the available offers.
It’s a fact, legal streaming continues to become more expensive. Netflix has now made it a habit to increase its prices and its partners, whether Prime Video, Disney+ or even Apple TV, do not hesitate to imitate it. So much so that for many spectators, it is now necessary to have just one service, and to take the time to choose the right one. Except, perhaps, anime fans.
In fact, they generally turn to Crunchyroll, the reference platform in this area, to watch all their favorite anime legally. However, the latter could boast of having maintained its prices since 2019 which, in the streaming landscape, is quite simply a miracle. But a miracle that did not last long. In a recent press release, the service also announced an increase in its prices.

Crunchyroll gives in to temptation and increases its prices
The two plans offered by Crunchyroll are entitled to a price increase. Here is how much it will now cost you to subscribe to the service:
- Fan subscription: €5.99/month
- Mega Fan Subscription: €7.99/month (or €79.99/year, or 16% reduction)
This second formula offers very interesting advantages, especially if you share it with loved ones. In fact, the Mega Fan offer allows you to view content on up to 4 different screens, in addition to benefiting from an offline mode which allows you to download the episodes of your choice. In addition, the offer provides access to Crunchy Vault, a catalog of free games.
“The price increase reflects the increase in content on the platform in recent years, expanding its catalog with more than 45,000 episodes across 1,400 series and films. That means it would take almost two years to watch everything on Crunchyroll. », writes the platform. As a reminder, Crunchyroll should soon land in the Prime Video catalog for a few additional euros, although the option is not yet available in France.
