It’s the first U.S. bundle deal for Crunchyroll, the anime service owned by Sony. The launch arrives alongside new and returning programming from Starz and Crunchyroll, featuring a mix of premium action, anime, thrillers, female-driven dramas, sci-fi and adventure.
Beginning July 29, eligible customers can purchase the Starz-Crunchyroll bundle through Prime Video. Existing Amazon customers can subscribe by visiting Prime Video, selecting the Starz-Crunchyroll bundle, and following the prompts to complete their purchase.
“This offering brings together two services with distinctive programming, giving viewers access to a range of stories and genres,” said Alison Hoffman, president of Starz Networks, in a statement. “The way households discover and consume television continues to evolve. This bundle with Crunchyroll and Prime Video enables us to broaden our reach and introduce the Starz slate of premium programming to new viewers.”
Terry Li, Crunchyroll’s chief product officer and EVP of emerging business, added: “At Crunchyroll, we believe anime is a powerful medium for storytelling and connection, and our goal is to continue bringing it to more audiences in more accessible ways. This launch is a meaningful step in expanding how fans can discover and connect with the series they love, while opening the door for even more viewers to experience the breadth of anime storytelling.”
