Updated 2026-02-14 · 5 min read
Crunchyroll Premium costs $7.99-$14.99/month ($96-$180/year). After absorbing Funimation, they raised prices and removed the free tier in many regions. Here's how to cancel and still watch anime.
Crunchyroll free tier: Still exists in some regions — ad-supported, limited library
Tubi: Free anime section with popular titles (Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh)
Pluto TV: Free anime channels streaming 24/7
Netflix: Growing anime library (if you already have it) — Demon Slayer, One Piece, JoJo
Hulu: Solid anime selection (if you already have it)
YouTube: Official channels for some anime (Muse Asia has full episodes free)
RetroCrush: Free classic anime streaming
💡 Seasonal Strategy: Most anime airs in seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). Subscribe for 1-2 months during the season you care about, binge what you want, cancel until next season. Saves 6-8 months of subscription fees per year.
