Overview:
Recently Crunchyroll reduced its Premium plan prices in many countries excluding the USA. In India it received a massive price drop from ₹800/month to ₹79/Month, one of their subscriptions was nearly ₹8000!
Crunchyroll's Statement:
Crunchyroll says they want to offer a variety of Anime at a low Price. As now Sony Owns Crunchyroll, I think they've started taking Anime seriously in India. Crunchyroll says that in India, it offers “5,500 episodes of anime, with 1,000 hours dubbed in English.” It has also introduced two anime series with Hindi dub: My Dress Up Darling and Ranking of Kings, with more coming on the way.
Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll, said the following about Crunchyroll’s revised subscription model and plans to properly enter the Indian market this time:
“There is a massive appetite for anime in India with a growing number of fans who are craving more of what they love. Our team has worked hard to expand our service – including more content and more dubs, at a more affordable price".
Conclusion:
As Sony has spent some time in India, will it be able to achieve success in Anime?
Well, most Indians stream Anime using Third Party/Pirated sites like Animixplay, 9Anime which do not benefit the Creators of the respective Anime neither does it count in the Popularity of the respective Anime.
Crunchyroll is now better with some more variety. Let's see if Anime dubbed in Indian languages appears in Crunchyroll or not. Well, it's time Indians get serious and switch to Crunchyroll as Premium is now available cheaper than Netflix and with a Free 14 Day Trial. While Sony may be working hard to license Anime in India, only time will tell if they succeed or not. While there's no other company that can even compete.
