Crunchyroll

Spreading the joy of anime just got a lot easier. I’m excited to share that the Crunchyroll streaming app is now available on Comcast entertainment devices. This new partnership marks another significant step in making anime even more accessible to fans across the country. Xfinity and Xumo customers – whether they’re longtime anime enthusiasts or newcomers – can easily discover and enjoy our extensive anime library. That means more than 25,000 hours of anime, featuring over 50,000 episodes across 2,000 titles. I’m really proud to be part of our team that is so dedicated to bringing anime fans the stories they love.

We are returning to Tokyo for the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards! Thanks to all the creators honored and the fans who decide the winners, the Crunchyroll Anime Awards is the largest global celebration of excellence in Japanese animation. We are thrilled to host the awards again in the birthplace of anime. I can’t wait to experience the love and admiration that fans will share as they cheer for their favorite shows and creators.
