What’s more, the 24/7 Crunchyroll linear channel is also available now for free with ads on Amazon Freevee, featuring a catalogue of fan-favourite anime.
New Crunchyroll subscribers can enjoy the massive autumn anime season with more than 50 new titles, including the fantasy adventure series Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, the long-running swashbuckling epic One Piece, the action-packed Jujutsu Kaisen and all four seasons of post-apocalyptic smash Attack on Titan.

How to watch Crunchyroll anime on Amazon Prime and how much it costs
Amazon Prime customers can now stream the best anime content with a subscription to Crunchyroll. Amazon Prime includes access to Prime Video’s huge film and TV library – as well as other benefits including next day delivery and Amazon Music Prime – for £8.99 a month after a 30-day free trial.
Prime members can choose from two Crunchyroll membership tiers: Fan or Mega Fan. The Fan plan costs £4.99 a month and allows customers to stream the entire Crunchyroll library ad-free, while enjoying new episodes shortly after release in Japan.
Mega Fan comes in at £5.99 a month and has the same benefits with the added ability to download content and watch it on the go. Prime Video has said that additional non-video benefits will be added to the Mega Fan plan shortly after launch.
Both Crunchyroll plans begin with a seven-day free trial, meaning anime lovers can access the huge library for an entire week without paying a penny. Amazon has also launched some awesome early Black Friday deals, with shoppers able to get two for one on the new Echo Pop, Amazon’s WiFi and Bluetooth speaker with Alexa, and two for one on the latest generation Echo Show 5, the sleek smart display that can be used to stream music, podcasts and Prime Video content.
Join Crunchyroll to stream the best anime content with Prime Video. A host of other anime films and shows are available on Netflix.
