Anime Fandom Continues to Surge As Reflected by Sub Growth,
Recent Unveiling of New Brand Evolution Supports Continued Acceleration
Culver City, Calif. (August 7, 2024) – Crunchyroll, the ultimate brand for all things anime, announced today that its streaming service has crossed a new era in its history – surpassing 15 million monthly subscribers who all enjoy the best anime from Japan.
“Today marks an exciting milestone not only for Crunchyroll, but for the entire anime industry,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “It is proof that the rich stories, characters and experiences that our partners create are resonating deeply with fans at record numbers all over the world. As the number of people excited about anime continues to explode and the breadth of content continues to widen, we believe it has never been a better time to be an anime fan.”
Crunchyroll offers fans the ultimate anime experience, pairing the world's largest dedicated anime streaming library of 50,000 episodes and more than 25,000 hours of anime series, music, and films with experiences across events, theatrical, gaming, ecommerce, and so much more.
Every season, Crunchyroll brings new and returning series to the service, between 45 and 60 in number. From co-productions to acquisitions, many signature series are beloved by fans, including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, JUJUTSU KAISEN,
One Piece, Chainsaw Man and Solo Leveling. Last year, Crunchyroll partnered with SMEJ (Sony Music Entertainment Japan) to bring anime-related music to the service, including 3,300 music videos and concerts. Crunchyroll recently added new dub languages – Tamil and Telugu – to serve fans in India and beyond. Crunchyroll now dubs content in 12 languages.
Crunchyroll continues to bring anime to fans in all the ways they want it across streaming, theatrical, events, games, music, news, consumer products, collectibles, and more. Central to Crunchyroll's growth has been a focus on connecting fans and creators in celebration of their shared passions.
Crunchyroll recently updated its brand identity, including a modernized logo with a balanced eye symbol and revamped wordmark; a new font set called Crunchyroll Atyp that blends classic and modern elements for improved readability; and a vibrant color system featuring orange, black, white, and taupe to reflect anime's dynamic nature.
