Crunchyroll to Increase Prices in Several Major Markets
Since its creation, Crunchyroll has been a place that focuses on anime, and its focus has never wavered to this day. Now, the platform has become a go-to home for fans wanting to watch new series, and Crunchyroll has expanded its operations across the globe. But for some fans, they better brace themselves as subscription prices are raising in a few major markets.
The news comes straight from Crunchyroll itself as the company confirmed it is raising monthly prices for several territories. The change will go into effect on October 31st, and the countries impacted include Chile, Canada, Austria, Argentina, Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Netherlands, Mexico, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
More Changes on the Way
This price change will impact Crunchyroll by the month's end, and it will not be the only service altered. Funimation prices will also change across several regions following its merger with Crunchyroll. And for some lucky subscribers, their prices will go down monthly. Fans in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia will be included in that decrease.

This price change is the latest announced by Crunchyroll, and it follows a decrease in price from July. Almost 100 countries had their prices lowered. Back in 2019, the site experienced its first major price climb well before its merger with Funimation, and Crunchyroll went on to offer subscription tiers a year later for budget-friendly users.
