Crunchyroll, LLC is a prominent global entertainment company based in Coppell, Texas, specializing in anime, manga, and East Asian content. Founded in 2006 by graduates from the University of California, Berkeley, Crunchyroll transitioned from a user-generated platform to a legitimate streaming service after securing funding and partnerships. It became part of Sony Group Corporation through a series of acquisitions, culminating in a $1.2 billion purchase in 2020-2021. The Crunchyroll platform offers subscription-based and ad-supported access to over 1,000 anime titles, including simulcasts of new episodes shortly after their Japanese release. The company also distributes physical media like DVDs and Blu-rays, secures global licensing rights for anime, and co-produces original series.
