Streaming platforms and smart TVs have made us accustomed to convenience. You no longer need to connect your computer, open a browser, download the appropriate translations… Everything should be available immediately, in a practical and simple application. One in which we are given all the options for audio and subtitles, where we can see the progress without having to click or remember where we live or which series we are following without realizing it. If a streaming platform doesn’t have an app available for my TV, why the hell would I give it over the other five apps that interest me. This is a problem that many apps with limited scope have on devices like Crunchyroll (we’ll talk about the HBO Max version another day), and this issue could have gone away.
Anime is becoming more massive, and the truth is that most of the big series right now are anime. If you’re a true TV fan, it should no longer be worth watching “30 Coins” on HBO, “Loki” on Disney+, “Gen V” on Amazon Prime Video, or “The Fall of the House of Usher.” ” on Netflix. . Far better than them all is “Jujutsu Kaisen” and that, dear reader, is streaming on Crunchyroll. But of course, the Crunchyroll app has some limitations, and even if it doesn’t have these limitations, there are those who no longer want to manage huge catalogs. for this reason, Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video joining forces is great news. But let’s not be confused.
Amazon Prime Video has not purchased or absorbed CrunchyrollThe most important platform and distributor for broadcasting anime in the world. No, it only allows us to access it through its application as is already the case with other specific and minority platforms such as FlixOlé. That’s by saying, We can subscribe to Crunchyroll through Amazon Prime Video Through the same platform, you will be able to access the entire Crunchyroll catalog. But we repeat The basic Amazon Prime Video subscription will not include Crunchyroll.
Crunchyroll is already one of the ‘flagship channels’ in the UK, US, Canada and Sweden. But it is expected that this union will be implemented in Spain throughout 2024. So the prices have not been confirmed either, but taking into account what happened globally we can talk about two. On the one hand we have Fan plan for €4.99 per month. This plan allows operation on a single device. If you’re only going to use Crunchyroll through Amazon, that’s fine (after all, if you want it for mobile or PC, you have to sign up directly). There is also the plan Mega Van for 6.49 euros, which allows 4 devices simultaneously, offline viewing and some extras in the form of shows. C’mon, what the Netflix plan offers is almost three times as much, but on Crunchyroll you can watch good ‘One Piece’.
Crunchyroll’s Terry Lee shared with diverse the next:
Crunchyroll offers anime adventures for all types of fans. From sports to romantic comedies, horror, action or everyday life, even anime fans can dive into our library. We look forward to welcoming new fans into the anime community with our launch on Prime Video channels.
Crunchyroll has more than 1,300 series and movies, including some of the biggest hits like “One Piece,” “Chainsaw Man,” or “Jujutsu Kaisen.” It also broadcasts some popular multi-platform series like “Attack on Titan” or “Kimetsu no yaiba” much earlier than other platforms.
Rafael is an expert in films, series and video games. His passion is classic and auteur cinema, although he never misses a Marvel movie or a blockbuster on Netflix due to professional distortion. He also has his geeky side, as evidenced by his specialization in anime, K-pop, and all things related to Asian culture.
Depending on his generation, he sometimes had to write about current music hits, from Bizarrap to Blackpink. It even has its exciting side, but unfortunately it is limited to selecting the best exciting series and movies. But he is not limited to this, as he also loves to write about gastronomy, travel, humor and memes.
After 5 years of writing for Fotogramas and Esquire magazine, the truth is that he has already done a little bit of everything, from interviews with international stars to presentations via mobile phone or tasting of oil, insects and, yes, if he is lucky, wine.
He trained in audiovisual communication at the University of Murcia. He then continued his studies at the Carlos III University of Madrid and obtained a master’s degree in research in media. In addition to earning a PhD in Sexual Representation in Author’s Films (which he never finished), he also studied for a Master’s in Film Criticism, both at ECAM and at the Writers’ School. Before that, he started writing for the Cinealacarbonara blog, continued in media such as Amanecemetropolis, Culturamas or Magnolia Magazine, and devoted all his efforts to Mutaciones Magazine since its foundation.
He arrived at Hearst in 2018 and has managed to carve out a niche for himself in the editorial offices of Fotogramas and Esquire, where he continues to write about everything he loves and what they send him (often simultaneously). His good or bad taste (depending on how you look at it) also led him into the world of gastronomy and video games. Come on, he likes to entertain himself.
