SUNNYVALE and CULVER CITY, Calif., April 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Google and Crunchyroll, the world’s leader in anime fan experiences, today announced a new, multi-year strategic partnership to accelerate and support Crunchyroll’s global scale ambitions. Today’s announcement builds on Google’s existing partnership with Sony Pictures Entertainment that includes collaboration across Android, Google TV and Android TV OS, YouTube, Google advertising solutions, and Google Cloud. Crunchyroll is an independently operated joint venture between US-based Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Japan’s Aniplex, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc., both subsidiaries of Tokyo-based Sony Group Corporation.

In the last few years, viewership and engagement of anime has reached record heights, making Crunchyroll the ultimate anime experience for fans. Anime franchises such as Dragon Ball, My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba and Attack on Titan are becoming broadly recognized along with the over 40,000 episodes of anime content and millions of fans in more than 200 countries and territories. Through this new dynamic multi-tiered partnership, Crunchyroll will work with Google as it looks to strengthen its direct-to-consumer business for scale, flexibility, and audience experiences that are truly next level.
