Club Benefits
Streaming prices continue to rise higher and higher — but right now, there's a rare chance to save on your bills. For a limited time, you can score 3 months of Crunchyroll access for $1.99 per month. (It'll cost $9.99/month after the first three months are up.)
In case you didn't know, Crunchyroll is a streaming service which offers a massive library of hit anime titles. You get this discount either by signing up via Crunchyroll's site, or adding it to your Prime Video subscription.
Everyone has one or two essential streaming services in their life that they just can't cancel, come rain or come shine. For some people, it's Spotify — but I can go without all that AI generated music. For me, the services I can't give up are Disney Plus (I'm officially on the 9-1-1 train, and I can't get off now) and Crunchyroll.
The great thing about Crunchyroll is that for the most part, all the essential anime you need to watch are on it — you can't say that for other entertainment mediums these days. From Cowboy Bebop to Frieren, everything is here.
I've been using the service for over twelve years and it's the home to the majority of the best anime I've watched over my life. Actually, some of the worst shows I've ever seen are on Crunchyroll, too, but that just shows you the breadth of the service's offerings. For just $1.99, it offers some of the best value of any streamer out there.
Wondering what to watch first? Sports anime is my favorite genre, and I recommend Haikyuu!! to pretty much everybody I meet. It's about a Japanese high school volleyball team, but it's so much more than that — it features high-stakes action, intense character drama and truly amazing animation. If that wasn't enough to convince you, it's also hilarious.
