Crunchyroll is an American subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming television service owned by Sony Group Corporation. The service primarily distributes Japanese anime television series and films, as well as other East Asian media, and also hosts anime content from other providers, content add-ons, live events, music, video games, and video channels.

Launched in May 2006, the service offers more than 1,000 anime series, more than 200 East Asian dramas in more than 18 languages, and formerly offered around 80 manga titles through its Crunchyroll Manga anthology, although the number of available titles varied by country due to licensing restrictions. Crunchyroll is one of the most-subscribed video on demand streaming media services globally, with 21 million subscriptions as of 2026.

Crunchyroll is a member of The Association of Japanese Animations (AJA). "Crunchyroll-Hime", also known as "Hime", has been the official mascot of Crunchyroll since June 2013.
