If you already subscribe to Starz and Crunchyroll, the two streaming services are now available as a Prime Video bundle. As is typically the case with bundles, this one offers the option to save on the cost of both subscriptions.
What You Need to Know
- Prime Video now offers Starz and Crunchyroll as a single bundle, giving subscribers a cheaper way to access both services.
- The bundle brings together Starz’s premium dramas and films with Crunchyroll’s large anime catalog.
- The new bundle also offers both companies a way to reach more viewers and make their programming easier to discover.
The new Starz and Crunchyroll bundle costs $16.99/mo for Prime Video users in the U.S.
Considering a standalone Starz subscription normally costs $11.99/mo, and a standalone Crunchyroll subscription starts at $9.99/mo, subscribing to both service separately would usually cost a minimum of $21.98 each month.
With the bundle priced at $16.99/mo, subscribers save around $5 each month, or 23%. The new bundle is available beginning today (July 29) through Prime Video and a 7-day free trial is available.
“The addition of the Crunchyroll and Starz bundle reflects Prime Video’s commitment to delivering value and convenience for customers as we continue to expand the breadth of our bundle offerings,” said Matt Huntley, Director of U.S. Channels, Prime Video. “Whether it’s premium dramas, blockbuster films, or world-class anime, Prime Video is making it seamless for customers to access the entertainment they want, all in one place.”
By combining these services together, subscribers now have the opportunity to stream a variety of popular series and movies, spanning action, drama, anime, and more, with a single subscription.
On the Starz side, for example, bundle subscribers can stream Power, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Fightland, Outlander, The Housemaid, and Shelter.
Titles due to land on the service over the next couple of weeks include Beast (August 8), Michael (August 10), Outlander: Blood of My Blood (September 18), and S.W.A.T. Exiles (September 25).
“This offering brings together two services with distinctive programming, giving viewers access to a range of stories and genres,” said Alison Hoffman, President of Starz Networks. “The way households discover and consume television continues to evolve. This bundle with Crunchyroll and Prime Video enables us to broaden our reach and introduce the Starz slate of premium programming to new viewers.”
When it comes to Crunchyroll, bundle subscribers can jump right into the likes of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball DAIMA, Afro Samurai, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, My Hero Academia, and Cowboy Bebop.
Titles coming soon to Crunchyroll include BLACK TORCH, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation season three, ONE PIECE HEROINES, and Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You.
“At Crunchyroll, we believe anime is a powerful medium for storytelling and connection, and our goal is to continue bringing it to more audiences in more accessible ways. This launch is a meaningful step in expanding how fans can discover and connect with the series they love, while opening the door for even more viewers to experience the breadth of anime storytelling,” said Terry Li, Chief Product Officer and EVP, Emerging Business, Crunchyroll.
