Prime Video Launches Crunchyroll, the Ultimate Brand for All Things Anime, as an Add-On Subscription in Australia

Prime Video and Crunchyroll, the ultimate brand for anime worldwide, today announced that Crunchyroll is now available to Prime Video customers as an add-on subscription in Australia. Prime Video is a one-stop entertainment destination, offering customers a large collection of premium entertainment in a single application. On Prime Video, customers can find their favourite movies, series and live sports under one roof, be it entertainment produced by Amazon MGM Studios, add-on subscriptions from a wide range of genres and partners, or titles to rent or buy via the Prime Video Store.

Crunchyroll marks the twenty-first add-on subscription available to customers in Australia. Prime members can now select from two Crunchyroll monthly memberships: Fan (AUD $10.99) or Mega Fan (AUD $13.99), both of which allow customers to stream the entire Crunchyroll library ad-free, while enjoying new episodes shortly after the release in Japan. At launch, Mega Fan subscribers will have the added benefit to download titles for offline viewing. Crunchyroll subscribers can enjoy the world’s largest streaming library of anime, with 24,000 hours, 46,000 episodes, and more than 1,300 series and films.

“Anime is hugely popular among Australians, and Prime Video is proud to continue to expand its unparalleled collection of premium entertainment with the introduction of Crunchyroll as an add-on subscription option,” said Daniel Slepak, head of marketplace Prime Video Canada, Australia and New Zealand. “Prime Video obsesses over providing customers with the best possible content offering in one single destination, and we are delighted to welcome Crunchyroll to our growing list of subscriptions in Australia.”

“The expansion of our Prime Video partnership opens the door for even more fans worldwide to dive into the thrilling worlds of anime,” said Terry Li, EVP of Emerging Business, Crunchyroll. “With so many incredible series waiting to be discovered, now is the perfect time to get lost in the endless adventures anime has to offer on Crunchyroll.”

Crunchyroll brings anime to fans in more than 200 countries and territories, offering the world’s largest dedicated anime streaming library. Beyond streaming, Crunchyroll delivers theatrical releases, live events, games, consumer products, and so much more. Subscribers can dive into the massive new anime season featuring over 40 titles, including October highlights such as Dragon Ball DAIMABLUE LOCK Season 2, Shangri-La Frontier Season 2, and Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World Season 3.
