Crunchyroll Hits New Milestone With 15 Million Subscribers

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Crunchyroll has become the go-to platform for anyone seeking their daily dose of anime goodness. From its humble beginnings in 2006 to its current status as a Sony-owned titan, it’s been an incredible journey witnessing the meteoric rise of this streaming service.


Crunchyroll, a significant player in the anime streaming industry since its establishment in 2006, offers an extensive library of anime series and films, attracting numerous fans to this captivating medium. Acquired by Sony, it has seen remarkable growth over the years, reaching new heights recently. In a recent press announcement, Crunchyroll proudly announced that its subscriber base has reached an all-time high of fifteen million. This milestone highlights not only the platform’s success but also the increasing popularity of anime in Japan, North America, and globally.

During an interview with The Wrap, Gita Rebbapragada, the COO, stated that series not owned by Crunchyroll are also contributing to its growth. She explained that due to Netflix’s vast platform and the fact that more people prefer live-action over animation, a larger audience is being exposed to anime franchises like One Piece. This increased exposure benefits not only Crunchyroll but also other platforms where One Piece is available. In essence, when a franchise experiences a significant moment, all related businesses prosper, creating a sustainable ecosystem. Rebbapragada further emphasized that their goal is to develop successful franchises for the industry as a whole and not just for Crunchyroll.
