Now that Sony has successfully rolled Funimation into Crunchyroll<\/a> in an attempt to create the one anime streaming service to rule them all<\/em>, it\u2019s leveraging that consolidation to raise prices, right? Wrong, apparently! The company just announced price cuts<\/em><\/a> in 95 different territories around the world, including the UK, China, India, and many, many more. <\/p>\n

The price of a Mega Fan subscription is dropping 25 percent in the UK, 37 percent in Brazil, and \u2014 at the current exchange rate \u2014 it\u2019ll cost nearly 88 percent less in India, where the company was previously charging $9.99 USD and will now charge 99 Indian rupees instead. The company isn\u2019t saying how much every territory will pay, but there\u2019s a full list of territories here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh, but if you were hoping for a price cut in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, etc., you\u2019re out of luck. North America and much of Western Europe appear to be missing from the deal. (The company suspended service to Russia<\/a> this spring, by the way.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not entirely clear why Crunchyroll is cutting prices at all \u2014 much less only in some territories The company\u2019s own FAQ page<\/a> completely dodges the question, but company spokesperson Bianca Doria says it doesn\u2019t have to do with inflation or subscriber churn. \u201cTo create consistency for Crunchyroll memberships and to offer fans more value as we continue the unification of Crunchyroll and Funimation, fans in select markets are receiving price decreases,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n

The company has been trying to boost subscriptions since the Funimation merger: one of its first moves was to get rid of its free ad-supported streaming for newly released episodes<\/a>, making those viewers sign up for a subscription to watch new shows instead. <\/p>\n
