You can now add Crunchyroll to your Prime Video subscription as a new channel, letting you access the streaming service's extensive anime library without having to switch apps.
The new distribution agreement between Amazon and Crunchyroll was announced on Tuesday. Prime Video users can now subscribe to Crunchyroll directly through the Prime Video store, choosing from its $8 per month Fan membership or its $10 per month Mega Fan membership.
There's no difference in price if you choose to subscribe through Prime Video rather than go directly to Crunchyroll. Even so, the option to go through Amazon might at least help you declutter your smart TV apps.
Crunchyroll is currently available as a Prime Video Channel in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Sweden, with more territories to be added next year. The deal also brings Crunchyroll's new 24/7 linear channel to Amazon Freevee, allowing anyone in the U.S. to watch a curated schedule of anime free with ads.
