If there is a platform that has gained popularity within the world of anime, that has been Crunchyroll. The Sony-owned service offers a huge number of Japanese series with new episodes through different payment formats. There is even the possibility of enjoying the content for free, although having to watch ads while viewing it.
now crunchyroll just made an important change that fundamentally affects the new episodes. Along with the arrival of the spring season for this year, it will no longer be possible to watch premiere episodes with advertising. Of course, all those that have already been published previously will remain free and with ads, as before.
Therefore, it will be necessary to get a monthly or annual premium subscription if we want to make use of this possibility. All in all, Crunchyroll will allow you to see the three first episodes of the seasonal series at no cost and with ads. They are the following:
- Spy x Family
- A Couple of Cuckoos
- Dawn of the Witch
- Tomodachi Game
- Skeleton Knight in Another World
- Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie
- The Greatest Demon Lord is Reborn as a Typical Nobody
- Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
They can be seen a week after their premiere until May 31, so after that day the free sample will require a subscription. Among the options that Crunchyroll puts on the table to subscribe we have the 14 day free trial, while a month costs 4.99 dollars and the full year 64.99 dollars.
We have recently been able to see how the platform landed on Nintendo Switch, in addition to taking over Funimation’s entire catalog.
