After all, there are few places better to binge anime than Crunchyroll, and it has a number of genres available. When it comes to romance, fans can watch everything from drama to comedies and even slice-of-life. You can even binge from harem series if that’s what you are into, and I’ll never pass up the chance to recommend Uta no Prince to anyone.
