    Crunchyroll brings excitement for anime fans in India

    Mumbai: Crunchyroll, the ultimate anime destination worldwide, has made two wildly popular titles available in Hindi: “My Dress Up Darling” and “Ranking of Kings,” with more on the horizon. Adding to that, Crunchyroll also announced on Tuesday that anime fans in India have much more to be excited about now and in the months & years to come.

    Interestingly, the cost of a Crunchyroll premium membership is decreasing in India as the subscription tiers shift to Rs 79 per month for its fan subscription tier and Rs 99 per month for its mega fan subscription tier. The change also means that fans will be charged in local currency instead of the United States dollar. This price decrease will create consistency across Crunchyroll memberships across channels, including web, mobile, and home devices, and unlock more content for anime fans to enjoy.

    In India, Crunchyroll offers nearly 5,500 episodes of anime, with 1,000 hours dubbed in English.

    Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini said, “There is a massive appetite for anime in India with a growing number of fans who are craving more of what they love.”

    “Our team has worked hard to expand our service—including more content and more dubs—at a more affordable price,” he added.

    India’s price reduction is one of nearly 100 across international Crunchyroll territories.

    Crunchyroll offers fans and mega-fans premium subscriptions. The Crunchyroll fan membership offers ad-free viewing and access to Crunchyroll’s library of anime dubs, alongside access to Crunchyroll manga and simulcast series day and date with their premiere in Japan. The Crunchyroll Mega Fan membership offers all the benefits of Crunchyroll Fan, alongside access to anime on the go with offline viewing and the ability to stream Crunchyroll concurrently across four different streams.
