Paying Crunchyroll subscribers received an email midday alerting them to the price change, which will come into effect for new users May 1, 2019, and for existing users, Aug. 1, 2019. Prices will rise from $6.95 to $7.99 a month. Crunchyroll says it offers 90 percent of anime worldwide, a statistic that will surely decline as behemoth tech companies like Amazon and Netflix get in on the anime industry.
