Stay Crunchy
A love letter to the Crunchyroll community, who see the world with anime in their hearts.
Whether it’s posting fan art, hanging with friends, debuting your cosplay, or playing your favorite sport, anime fans bring their passion with them. Our hero film celebrates fans for being perfect just the way they are, integrating anime into live action to manifest this passion for everyone to see.
We stayed true to the genre in every way, collaborating with a team of Japanese artists such as Rapparu, Mai Yoneyama, Kou Yoshinari, and China - the artists behind next-gen and legendary IP such as “Sword Art Online,” “Re:Zero” and “Yuru Yuri”. Yutaka Yamada, the prolific composer behind “Tokyo Ghoul,” scored our hero film.
Fans love seeing how their favorite anime comes to life. To feed this curiosity, we shared behind-the-scenes posts from legendary artists on Crunchyroll’s social channels
Artist Mai Yoneyama’s hand drawn process
Artist CHINA’s process from sketch to final
Kou Yoshinari’s sketches of Crunchyroll mascot, Hime
So, you want to get into anime?
Getting into anime can be tough, with so much to choose from. But anime fans love sharing their expertise and guiding friends through the genre. That’s why we created Crunchy Mix—a way for fans to make custom playlists of shows tailored to their friends' tastes, streamable for free.
