Crunchyroll, a privately owned US-based company with approximately 560 employees, provides streaming services specializing in East Asian media content, primarily anime. Founded in 1994, the company's current iteration resulted from a 2022 merger of Sony Pictures Entertainment's anime-related services, including Funimation (a subsidiary since 2019, previously a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment Japan) and Wakanim. Crunchyroll licenses anime series and distributes them through subscription video on demand (SVOD) and ad-supported video on demand (AVOD) platforms.
On March 2025, a Nintendo Direct showcased games for the Nintendo Switch. On April 3, 81 Produce announced that voice actor Rie Takahashi will take a one-month hiatus for vocal cord surgery. Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll, gave a presentation and participated in a fireside chat, discussing Crunchyroll's business overview and strategy. The Pop Team Epic and Code Geass collaboration was announced as an April Fool's joke follow-up. The Manga Taisho Award ceremony, held in Tokyo, awarded Kiko Urino's *Alice Doko made mo* the grand prize on an unspecified date.
