Black Friday sales are well underway, with every retailer competing for the attention of physical media collectors. Amazon is running its usual '3 for 2' sale on books and movies, while the Crunchyroll Store has launched a 40% discount across most home video releases. Between the two, there are some pretty ridiculous discounts on anime Blu-rays.
Amazon has more offers, sure, but even Bezos can't match Crunchyroll's discounts on exclusive releases, like the incredibly overpriced Blu-ray release for Cyberpunk Edgerunners. After scrolling through all of the Blu-ray sales I could find, I can now report back with the best anime deals for Black Friday 2025.
Anime Blu-ray Deals Actually Worth Getting
The best deals are split between full collections of older classics and individual seasons of newer releases. I prefer the big collections, but that might be because I’m reaching unc status in my anime taste. Along those lines, we’re seeing all-time low prices on the OG Naruto series, Ouran High School Host Club, Soul Eater, and Samurai Champloo.
If there’s one series I check any time there’s a sales event, it’s the 1997 adaptation of Berserk. Life-changing stuff, I know. Amazon has knocked a couple dollars off the standard Blu-ray, but the better deal is actually the Crunchyroll-exclusive version of the Blu-ray steelbook (particularly if you tack on the Crunchyroll member discounts).
On the newer wave, the collector’s editions of both Chainsaw Man and Dan Da Dan, which include tons of extra merch, have reached new all-time low prices. The Cyberpunk Edgerunners Blu-ray is still ridiculously overpriced in North America (and not even available on Amazon), but if you're desperate for those storyboards, the Crunchyroll Store has given it a 20% discount.
Anime Movies Hitting All-Time Low Prices
While there aren't quite as many doorbusting discounts, at least some anime movies are included in the Blu-ray deals. New all-time low prices are limited to a spread of Studio Ghibli movies, Naoka Yamada's The Colors Within, and, for whatever reason, most of the Evangelion Rebuild movies. Many tears have been shed across this group.
Crunchyroll Knocked $20 Off Annual Mega Fan Subscriptions
If you’re also on the streaming wave, Crunchyroll dropped a Black Friday deal seemingly out of nowhere. $20 off a full year of Mega Fan Crunchyroll is pretty much nothing, I know, but it does give you access to the extra 15% discount in the Crunchyroll Store as well as 12 months of unlimited anime streaming. If you’d already pay for it, might as well get it for cheaper.
