Well, why not check out the Mega Fan subscription? It would usually cost you \u00a36.99 a month, but you can get it for <strong>\u00a31.99 a month<\/strong> for the next three months. You get everything above, plus streaming on 4 devices at once, access to the Crunchyroll Game Vault (including titles like Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth and River City Girls), 10% off products and free shipping on orders over \u00a345. For an extra 50p a month, this is a pretty sweet bargain.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">No matter the plan you pick, you&#8217;re essentially getting three months of ad-free access to a massive anime library for under \u00a36. You can\u2019t ask for much better than that. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This deal isn&#8217;t the only thing Crunchyroll is doing to celebrate Ani-May 2026. It&#8217;s a packed lineup, headlined by the 10th annual Anime Awards on May 23. If you grab this streaming deal now, you\u2019ll be all set to tune into the ceremony. While fan voting has already ended, the nominee list is stacked with heavy hitters like Frieren: Beyond Journey&#8217;s End and Spy x Family, all of which you can watch on Crunchyroll. You can check out the full list of nominees &#8211; including Anime of the Year 2026 &#8211; here.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Is it Actually Worth Your Money?<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you&#8217;re on the fence about this deal, the content slate alone justifies the \u00a31.49 entry fee, at least in my personal opinion. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re currently enjoying the return of One Piece with the Elbaph arc, which started in April, alongside new breakout hits like Daemons of the Shadow Realm and loads more this Spring. But for me, the standout offering on Crunchyroll is CHAINSAW MAN \u2013 THE MOVIE: REZE ARC. I&#8217;ll be honest: I had never watched a single episode of Chainsaw Man before this, yet the film ended up as my personal highest-rated watch of last year. It\u2019s brutal, flashy and experimental &#8211; check it out if you haven\u2019t already! <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You might be thinking that this Ani-May deal is very generous, and it is. But I\u2019d be remiss to not remind you that it follows a controversial price hike in February 2026. Monthly subscriptions were raised across all tiers, and free ad-supported viewing was phased out. Crunchyroll is clearly trying to win back fans who may have lapsed after they lost free access to anime. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">If you\u2019re not in a position to spend extra money at the moment, you don\u2019t have to miss out. Crunchyroll is hosting anime watch parties on YouTube, with the next one focusing on \u201cheart-racing, adrenaline-pumping sports anime\u201d on May 9 at 10am PT.  <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">However, if you\u2019re a UK fan, there likely isn&#8217;t a better way to spend \u00a32 a month this summer. With gems like Witch Hat Atelier, Solo Leveling, and The Apothecary Diaries now streaming, you\u2019ll want to act fast. This is likely to be the best deal you\u2019ll find for Crunchyroll subscriptions this year. If you want access to the Game Vault, grab the Mega Fan deal now. If you\u2019re mainly interested in the Reze Arc movie or catching up on some classics, sign up for the Fan plan right away before the offer ends on May 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/crunchyroll-uk-anime-deal-ani-may\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crunchyroll has just launched an amazing deal for new and returning UK anime fans.
