Crunchyroll has \u201cno announcements\u201d about raising prices \u2014 for now CrunchyrollCrunchyroll has quelled rumors of a potential price hike coming soon, stating there aren\u2019t any plans at present outside of Funimation accounts having to switch services. A flurry of misunderstanding has occurred on social media, leading anime fans to believe that Crunchyroll might be about to introduce a price hack. This is, in part, due to the consolidation of Funimation within Crunchyroll, where the latter is being shut down as a standalone service. Controversy has swirled around this decision, since Funimation users won\u2019t have the anime shows and anime movies they own on the platform honored by Crunchyroll. Another tidbit to come from the move has been a belief that Crunchyroll is about to get more expensive. In a new statement, the company has said this isn\u2019t happening. Crunchyroll doesn\u2019t intend to raise prices in the near future In a comment given to Anime News Network, Crunchyroll stated it has \u201cno announcements about a price change at this time.\u201d Pressed about changes within the next two years, the company calls the possibility \u201cimprobable.\u201d So, it\u2019s possible your subscription will go up, just not in the immediate future. Where there is a jump in price happening is Funimation accounts migrating to Crunchyroll. Users have the option of moving, but they\u2019ll need to pay Crunchyroll\u2019s current prices, even if they\u2019re on legacy accounts. Funimation offered longtime subscribers the ability to stay at a certain price point if they remained ongoing users over a long period. This has meant some accounts for paying less then $60 annually, a steep contrast to the $99 annually Crunchyroll currently runs at. However, this is something that only impacts those legacy accounts. Everyone else is simply subject to the regular price, which isn\u2019t changing at present. We may see a change at some point in the future, but it\u2019s not happening right now, and probably won\u2019t until the Funimation shut down is complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
