Crunchyroll offers anime discounts amid Amazon Blu-ray sale

If you've been looking to expand your anime collection, now might be the perfect time – though your wallet might disagree. Crunchyroll is currently offering deep discounts on home video releases through June 24, coinciding with Amazon's ongoing "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" Blu-ray promotion. Together, these sales provide excellent opportunities to pick up anime series, films, and collector's editions at reduced prices. Here are some standout deals.

Crunchyroll's Lowest-Ever Blu-ray Prices

While primarily known for streaming, Crunchyroll's online store carries an extensive selection of physical media including DVDs, collectibles, and anime merchandise.

The current promotion slashes prices by 40-55% on various titles, from beloved classics like Ouran High School Host Club (arguably one of the best shojo anime ever made) to newer releases such as The Apothecary Diaries. After verifying price histories, I can confirm these Blu-rays and DVDs are at their all-time lows:

Anime Titles Included in Amazon's BOGO Deal

Amazon's promotion extends beyond anime to include books and board games, though their anime selection features notable classics like Sailor Moon, Pokémon, and Studio Ghibli films including Kiki's Delivery Service. Personally, I'm planning to grab Makoto Shinkai's Your Name - arguably one of the most popular anime films in recent years.

Unlike Crunchyroll's sale, Amazon's promotion allows mixing different categories – you could pair anime with manga or books. As my colleague Chris Reed clarified about this "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" deal: "Despite Amazon's somewhat confusing wording, it simply means purchasing two eligible items automatically applies a 50% discount to the cheaper item." The entire selection of discounted products is available on Amazon's website.
