Crunchyroll Premium 60-Day Free Trial For Funimation Subscribers: Who Is Eligible?
Sony is reportedly merging its two anime streaming services! The latest announcements from the company confirmed that Funimation's entire anime library is moving to Crunchyroll! Fans were given access to Funimation's library and simulcast content starting March 1. The union of the two platforms brings more than 1,600 hours of content from Funimation, including blockbusters like My Hero Academia, JUJUTSU KAISEN, and Fruits Basket Crunchyroll.
Sony has also announced that it will not raise prices on Crunchyroll's packages (for now). However, future new series will be exclusive to Crunchyroll starting April 1. Furthermore, Funimation will only add new episodes of continuing series. Funimation's official website advises fans to cancel their subscription and opt for a Crunchyroll subscription instead.
However, the platform also offers a special deal with a free 60-day Free Crunchyroll Premium trial for select Funimation subscribers. Read on to find out if you're eligible.
Are You Eligible For The Crunchyroll Premium 60-Day Free Trial?
With the recent merging of Funimation content into Crunchyroll, Sony has explained that the move will create "a huge benefit for new and existing subscribers who will no longer have to pay for two services." Crunchyroll Premium gives subscribers ad-free access to the complete library and several other benefits in three other tiers: Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultimate Fan. The pricing of the subscriptions plans remains the same at $7.99/month for the Fan tier, $9.99/month for Mega Fan, and $14.99/month for Ultimate Fan.
However, as a special treat for fans, Funimation, Wakanim, and VRV subscribers are reportedly getting a special deal offering 60 days of Crunchyroll Premium free! Qualified users will receive an email by March 8, 2022, with their unique link to redeem this offer. Whether you're qualified for the free trial or not depends on the following:
- Customers who have started their Funimation subscription before February 28, are eligible for the 60-day Free Trial of Crunchyroll Premium.
- The offer is only available for NEW Crunchyroll subscribers, which means that customers who already have a paid Crunchyroll subscription won’t be eligible.
