Having first been reported in October 2020, then begun in December 2020, Sony’s billion-dollar purchase of anime streaming site Crunchyroll has now been completed.
Sony’s Funimation announced the finalisation of the deal earlier today in a press release, with the final purchase price being a whopping $1.175 billion. It’s claimed Crunchyroll has “120 million registered users across more than 200 countries,” and the deal means Sony now owns all of Crunchyroll’s offerings and services, from its anime streaming service to events merch to video games.
So what does this mean to users, rather than just shareholders? Plans for what Sony actually wants to do with all that anime are still pretty vague, and information like pricing changes or licensing agreements are likely a long way off.
One thing Sony did say, though, was that it plans to “create a unified anime subscription experience as soon as possible.”
