Current Events > Crunchyroll has partnered with Delta Airlines

(+) Yeah! (+)

Crunchyroll says that its bringing specially curated anime to Delta Air Lines later in 2025.

This selection will be available via Delta Sync Wi-Fi in addition to the airlines seatback screens.

Additionally, the anime streamer will offer a 24-hour free trial to SkyMiles members who login to Delta Sync Wi-Fi.

Theres currently no word on what sort of anime is included in the deal, or how big the selection will be, but expect further details on what the partnership brings later in the year.

Crunchyroll is naturally looking to net some long-term viewers with this expansion. Its president Rahul Purini said in a prepared statement, Fans can go deep on one series or sample one episode of many series from action to adventure, romance and more. And when they get hooked they can continue their experience on the Crunchyroll app.

Crunchyroll adds that this offering will be available exclusively at Delta.

Crunchyroll previously expanded its footprint to YouTube Primetime and smart TVs. Beyond anime, its also looking to hook manga readers with an upcoming manga app.

These days birds/bees really have their work cut out for them tbh

Anime is going to be illegal soon so whats the point?

I forget what airline i was on but they had a CrunchyRoll/Sony section and half of the shows only had a set of episodes from mid season or starting on a later season. Weird curated list.

They're the only airline not circling the drain. United is waiting for JetBlue to die and American is now a Spirit-tier low-cost carrier.

"but 747-kun you can't land on runway 10! cessna-chan is trying to take off there!"
"i'm sorry ATC-sama, but i'm carrying sick passengers and they need medical now"

Tomcat-San?!?

Bring back the Bruce Faulconer score!

What Crunchyroll should do is partner with ANA to get them to bring their amazing service here instead. (I know this isn't feasible but ANA is just too good and I wish I could fly them more)

Most red staters where that's happening have never left their hometown let alone the state so that's irrelevant there.

That is true lol

I was just on a flight a month ago and there were a bunch of selections already. Looks like it'll get some seasonals lol.

Delta is one of the worst of the major airlines. This seems like an odd pairing.

Which airline is better?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I thought they were the best of the most important 3 (other 2 are American and United). Which United States airlines do you consider better?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Huh... I've heard mixed things about them, but they usually don't have routes where I am traveling to, so I honestly can't comment.
