Crunchyroll announced that all of Funimation, Wakanim, and VRV content will move to Crunchyroll.
In a blog post, Cunchyroll stated, “Funimation, which serves millions of anime fans in over 52 countries and 10 languages, will be unifying under the Crunchyroll brand. This move will include Funimation’s subsidiary, Wakanim, as well as Crunchyroll’s VRV to create one subscription service for our anime fans worldwide.”
Crunchyroll details that Funimation will only be adding “new episodes of continuing series, which means Funimation users will want to move to a Crunchyroll account as soon as possible.”
A press release clarifies, “All new series from the upcoming Spring season – the biggest on record to be announced soon – will stream only on Crunchyroll; Funimation will continue to add new episodes of current series.”
Crunchyroll CEO Colin Decker stated, “When we brought Funimation and Crunchyroll together last year, our top priority was to put fans first. Unifying all of our brands and services under the Crunchyroll brand globally enables us to offer more value than ever before as we combine subs, dubs, simulcasts, library, music, movies, manga—all into one subscription.”
He added, “The new Crunchyroll is the realization of a dream, and we are grateful to the creators of anime and the millions of fans who have joined us in making the community what it is today.”
As part of the press release, they revealed that Crunchyroll’s library is now over 40,000 sub and dub episodes with the company planning to add more daily in the coming weeks.
Crunchyroll pricing will be unchanged with the addition of Funimation, Wakanim, and VRV.
