On Monday, Crunchyroll announced new tiers for membership, with four new tiers for American users (Free, Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultimate Fan), and three tiers for other English-speaking countries (Free, Fan, and Mega Fan). These are expected to be available in September. The free tier appears the same as their current free option, but if you'd like to read more on the new tiers, check out the description below or if you want to read the full article, click here.

The Fan tier costs US$7.99 (or a similar price outside the United States) per month. Similar to the current Premium Membership, this tier has no advertisements, and all new simulcast episodes will be available to users as they premiere.

The Mega Fan tier costs US$9.99/month, and it includes all features from the Fan tier. In addition, this tier enables offline viewing and access to four streams at once. In the United States, members will also be able to get a US$15 discount off a US$100 purchase every three months on the Crunchyroll Store.

In the United States, the Ultimate Fan tier costs US$14.99/month, and it will include everything from the Fan Tier. It will also feature offline viewing and access to six streams at once. Members can get a US$25 discount off a US$100 purchase every three months on the Crunchyroll Store. In addition, members will receive an annual Ultimate Fan member swag bag and access to exclusive member-only merchandise.

The membership tiers for the U.K. and English-speaking international territories are similar, but with prices converted to local currency. In these regions, the Mega Fan does not include a discount on the Crunchyroll Store. Also, instead of the Ultimate Fan tier, there is an Annual Mega Fan option for members who sign up for a full year of the Mega Fan Tier. This tier includes a 16% discount for Crunchyroll Premium.

What are your thoughts on this? I'm currently still on Anime Lab.

Crunchyroll has needed offline for a while, glad they're finally adding it

The usage of the word "Swag bag" urks me inside. And I can only imagine it's some sort of small/weird nendoroid or maybe some lanyards and pins no one wants. Anyways, I don't use CR (and when I do I just use free membership with ad-block), but the offline feature sounds nice for those who are going away on trips and such.

This made my day, it feels EXACTLY like that.
