Crunchyroll and Amazon are teaming up, so now you will be able to enjoy some of the best Anime out there on Prime Video, for a small up-prize, though.
Amazon is slowly but surely expanding its Prime Video library and if you didn't know, they've also joined hands with many different “channels” that you can also subscribe to, to gain access to even more series. One of these channels that has recently been added to Prime Video is Crunchyroll and if you're curious what anime you will be able to watch, what the price for this added subscription will be and what countries will gain access to this service, we got the answers.
| What are channels on Prime Video? Prime Video Channels allows Amazon Prime members to add various channels to their existing subscription for an extra fee. This feature consolidates subscriptions like HBO Max, Starz, and others into one platform, simplifying access and billing. Each channel comes with its own fee, enriching the content library available to the user. |
Crunchyroll on Amazon Prime: What Is The Price?
If you're a big anime fan and want to extend Amazon's library with some of the best the genre has to offer, you can now subscribe to the Crunchyroll channel on Prime video for a small fee of $7.99 .
Still, Crunchyroll can be used for free (if you're okay with watching ads), so why pay the money to Amazon, especially when a subscription to Crunchyroll only costs around $6.95 per month?
Well, there are some benefits to using the Amazon channel, like letting them handle all the billing and not having to track a dozen streaming services at once. Also, lazy binge-watchers that we are, you wouldn't have to switch between apps all the time, once you want to watch something else.
Still, everybody will have to decide for themselves, whether they think that comfort is worth the extra Dollar for them, but it's great to have the option!
