Crunchyroll and Wakanim merge: 2000 anime available!

The two platforms Crunchyroll and Funimations are finally merging to form the largest anime catalog online. What does this mean for users?

If you are an anime fan, you must have a subscription on a specialized platform. Today, there is something for everyone with Wakanim, DNA, or the famous Crunchyroll. This was acquired by Sony in August 2021 and has since made its way to Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, among others. We now learn that Sony, which already owned Wakanim, has just merged the two platforms.

This therefore allows the firm to bring together what is today the largest selection of anime in the world. In a blog post, Crunchyroll states: “ You will therefore have more VF, more VOSTFR, more of everything! Crunchyroll’s biggest hits, such as My Hero Academia, Tokyo Revengers or JUJUTSU KAISEN and the best Wakanim anime such as Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Fire Force and Fruits Basket, will all be available via a single subscription! »

A catalog that will not stop growing!

In total, subscribers will be able to enjoy a catalog of more than 2,000 animated productions, from series to films, in VO or VF, only one hour after their release in Japan for some. The platform also explains that the first transfers should take place in the coming days, and continue for the next few weeks. The entire catalog of Wakanim (Funimation in Japan) should then be transferred to Crunchyroll.

Wakanim subscribers will have to change platforms as soon as possible if they want to benefit from all the advantages within their reach. The company states: Going forward, Funimation and Wakanim will only add new episodes of current series, which means Funimation and Wakanim users will need to sign up for a Crunchyroll account as soon as possible. »
