The platform Crunchyroll sent communications to its subscribers informing them that the prices of some of its plans will increase as of October 31. Changes will be reflected in the billing cycle immediately following November 1, 2022, and the user’s current payment method will be charged.
According to the statement, these changes correspond to Crunchyroll’s transition to a unified subscription service with Funimation, and ensure that “One of the necessary steps to complete this unification is for Crunchyroll to adjust the prices for the plans in different Latin American countries.“. However, it should be noted that the change in November is for users already subscribed, since those who are interested in contracting from now on will have to pay the new updated price.
In the case of Mexicothe new prices are 119 Mexican pesos per month in the “Fan Plan”, 149 Mexican pesos per month in the “Mega Fan Plan” and 1,499 Mexican pesos in the “Mega Fan Plan (12 Months)”. The difference between “Fan” and “Mega Fan” is only offline viewing, meaning fans can download episodes and watch offline.
Regarding the countries in which this price increase has been supplied, according to social networks, reports can be found from Argentina, Mexico, Chile, among others. It turns out that Crunchyroll only did the report via email, so the information is pretty limited.
It should be remembered that Funimation y Crunchyroll announced on March 1 that the anime library and simulcast contents (simulcast) of Funimation y The people would move to Crunchyroll. Funimation Global Groupfrom Sony, completed the acquisition of Crunchyroll a AT&T on August 9 last year. The purchase price was $1.17 billion, with proceeds paid in cash at closing.
