Damn, fans love losing more money?
NthDegreeThoughts2026-02-02 15:17
It’s more of what we love ! Maybe we can have a tariff too !! /s
paulchaested2026-02-02 15:38
The writing was on the wall when they increased the price outside of the US a year and a half ago. I’m surprised it took this long for it to happen.
Some will inevitably unsubscribe but I seriously doubt this won’t impact them much despite some of the very questionable decisions they’ve made in recent times. They’re just too big to fall at this point.
hasanman62026-02-02 15:06
Was wondering why the headline was so positive then realised its from crunchyrolls own website
Mooon89832026-02-02 15:07
Does subscribing with VPN still work?
Even-Dig-66102026-02-02 17:22
Yes,i still subscribe through India and watch USA with Vpn ,it's worth it cuz for $5-6 u get full year MEGA Fan ,thats like 0.5$ a month
Zeruma_2026-02-02 15:08
So charging us more? Hmm that’s not really what we love guys
ShadowthecatXD2026-02-02 15:11
Fans do love being charged more money when the service keeps getting worse.
kaushik04082026-02-02 15:12
"Updates Membership Pricing", neat way of saying increases membership pricing.
Automatic_Use_94272026-02-02 15:14
Diabolical headline when announcing increase in plan price !!!!
HuTaosTwinTails2026-02-02 15:14
I have the yearly mega fan tier, will I still be locked into the old price until my yearly renewal?
Railgun_8S2026-02-02 15:21
Yes, they can't you just charge more if they gonna increase the price afterwards.
Had the same scenario a few Years ago on Disney+, my yearly renewal went through a few days before they increased the price.
HuTaosTwinTails2026-02-02 15:23
Alright cool. Thanks.

AoiShimaShima2026-02-02 15:20
remember when crunchyroll was a piracy site? man time flies
AceSoldia2026-02-02 15:23
Lol the wording is something else
Jusenkyo_52026-02-02 15:24
25% increase in a time where CR has massively fucked up their subtitles, release schedule, AND have less anime than ever.
Taedirk2026-02-02 15:27
Gotta make up for the dip when people started cancelling over their bullshit.
bkendig2026-02-02 15:43
Honest question - is there a good alternative out there?
Jusenkyo_52026-02-02 15:45
Not at all unfortunately. I still use CR because they have a smart TV app, but if you've got a laptop or a desktop computer you need to 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
WhoiusBarrel2026-02-02 15:47
If you're in SEA, it's Netflix, Muse Asia or Ani-One.
Anything locked behind CR you can sail the seven seas.
Whendfield1232026-02-02 16:31
No. Its either crunchyroll or piracy

Nice, I can downgrade! Only reason I was paying more was to use the feature on plane rides. Between the advent of free in-flight Wi-Fi and this change, there's no longer any value in Mega!
Sordonir2026-02-02 15:56
This is the only improvement!
qwertyqwerty45672026-02-02 15:34
If this is what keeps them from torpedoing subtitles and/or bitrate, its not a bad deal.
>CR never updating the videos with the Blu-Ray versions (Funi used to do this), so they stay censored, with worse animation, forever. God bless the Jojo black blobs.
They have done this for some shows recently tho
>AI subbing
It still amazes me that some anime pirates are actually asking for AI subs...
UnderatedMeatSnack2026-02-02 15:58
BRING BACK THE CHAT!
Detective-Layton2026-02-02 16:13
I’m sorry, but who is actually paying for anime in 2026?
Vast-Coffee-70582026-02-02 16:43
I don’t mind a price increase, but in return, I’d like to see a much better selection of past titles. The current catalog is genuinely very limited.
Please add more classics, such as Kyoto Animation and Sunrise works, and series like *Karakuri Circus* and *USHIO & TORA*.
giitaru-kun2026-02-02 17:16
I still hope for this day that they increase video quality of certain series, such as. Madoka Magica, Gurren Lagann, and Bakemonogatari.
These series were better on Funimation, but on Crunchyroll they're just limited to max 480p and only have English hardsubs.
