dailyloe.com – Apple has integrated the anime streaming service Crunchyroll as a new channel within its TV app. This addition is now available for users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The move provides a centralized hub for anime content directly through Apple’s ecosystem. Subscribers can access Crunchyroll’s library without needing a separate app.
The channel launched today, allowing fans to subscribe directly through the Apple TV app interface. A one-week free trial is offered, followed by a standard monthly fee of $9.99. This integration enables viewing across Apple devices, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. The service utilizes Apple’s default video player for a consistent experience.
This marks the first significant new channel added to Apple’s TV app in a considerable time. The Channels feature, introduced in 2019, allows subscriptions within the app using Apple ID. It eliminates the need to download separate streaming applications for each service. All content plays directly within the Apple TV app’s unified environment.
Key benefits include using Apple credentials for billing and management. Users can also download shows for offline viewing through the platform. The addition of a major service like Crunchyroll could signal renewed interest in the Channels model. For international audiences, this provides easier access to one of the world’s largest anime libraries.[]
