Crunchyroll set to launch on Amazon Prime Video Channels in India and Southeast Asia soon

As per reported by Variety, Crunchyroll plans to launch on Amazon Channels in South East Asia & India in the next couple of months.

Vinciquerra had strongly positive things to say about Crunchyroll, the anime streaming business that Sony acquired in 2021 and merged with its own Funimation company. “Crunchyroll is going to be a primary driver of growth over the next few years. We have well over 13 million subscribers. We expect that to grow pretty substantially over time on revenue and profit [..] over the next four or five years. We’re very confident that Crunchyroll will be terrific for us and that’s a great collaboration with Aniplex and with Sony Music Japan,” Vinciquerra said.

“Crunchyroll is not distributed substantially in Southeast Asia at this point or in India. We put Crunchyroll on Amazon channels here in the U.S. We’re going to launch in India and several other countries in Southeast Asia very soon in the next couple of months on Amazon channels. Right now we’re building up the inventory of products that we have on Crunchyroll for Southeast Asia,” he said.

He added that animation is likely to contribute two feature films per year for theatrical release and possibly another for direct to streaming.
