We've been tracking streaming price increases in 2026, which have piled up in just four months. We're also always on the lookout for streaming deals, including a new one from Crunchyroll.
The anime streaming service is offering new and returning US subscribers three months of either Crunchyroll Fan for $2 per month or Mega Fan for $3 per month. The deal is available through May 21 as part of Ani-May, Crunchyroll's yearly celebration of anime retail, gaming and events.
Crunchyroll is among the streamers that hiked prices this year. It announced an increase in the US in February, roughly a month after shutting down its free, ad-supported tier. Crunchyroll's ad-free Fan, Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan subscriptions each rose $2 to $10, $14 and $18, respectively.
The Fan and Mega Fan memberships included in the deal offer full access to the streaming service's library and titles, such as My Hero Academia, Spy x Family and Chainsaw Man -- The Movie: Reze Arc; with Mega Fan, the number of simultaneous streams increases from one to four.
