We're in the seemingly endless saga that is Black Friday season. The Crunchyroll Store has been having Black Friday sales all month long, discounting its spread of DVDs, figures, and anime merch. However, the service has now announced an incredibly rare deal on what I think most people actually use it for: anime streaming. Right now, you can get $20 off annual Mega Fan subscriptions, which already offer some savings over the monthly price.
Get $20 Off 12 Months of Mega Fan Crunchyroll
Now, $20 off a $120 subscription is not exactly incredible in the grand scheme of streaming deals. Over the next week, we’ll likely see closer to 70% discounts on major services like Hulu and HBO Max. However, Crunchyroll has historically been on the Netflix side of things by never discounting their streaming plans, at least not by themselves. As such, $20 off is pretty much the best deal I’ve seen.
Mega Fan subscriptions typically cost $11.99/month, which would add up to a little over $143/year. The annual subscription usually costs $119.99, already offering around a 16% discount over the monthly cost. The Black Friday deal increases that discount to 30%.
Crunchyroll was also kind enough to offer a firm timeline on how long the discount will be available: until midnight on Cyber Monday. This makes it clear that this is the Black Friday deal, and you have over a week to consider scooping it up. If you do get a subscription sooner rather than later, you can stack a 40% membership discount on top of any existing Black Friday deals in the Crunchyroll Store.
You Can Also Get Two Months for $2.99 Through Prime Video
If you are dedicated to the monthly subscription side, you also have options! Amazon’s Black Friday sale has already gone live and features a spread of discounts on Prime Video Channel Add-Ons.
This is really only a deal if you’re already a Prime Member (which is 50% off for anyone aged 18-24), but if the Prime subscription is already baked into your spending bill, you can grab two months of Crunchyroll for $2.99/month. Just try and remember that your subscription will automatically renew at the standard $11.99/month pricing after those two months.
What About the Other Crunchyroll Plans?
The Crunchyroll Mega Fan plan is ideal for anyone who just wants to stream as much anime as possible. You get unlimited, ad-free viewing of everything on the site on up to four devices. You can also download anime to take on the road.
While this mid-tier plan is the only one with a discount, you can still sign up for a seven-day free trial for the cheaper “Fan” plan, which includes ads and a limited library, or the priciest ‘Ultimate Fan’ plan, which now includes access to Crunchyroll manga.
