Anime fans, get ready to pack your bags! Delta Air Lines customers will soon be able to enjoy a selection of anime from Crunchyroll, the brand fueling anime fandom, as part of their in-flight entertainment offering on Delta flights.
Anime content will be specially curated by Crunchyroll and available later this year on Delta’s more than 169,000 seatback screens – the most of any U.S.-based carrier – and within its Delta Sync Wi-Fi experience for SkyMiles Members, now available on more than 900 aircraft.
Plus, SkyMiles Members who log in to Delta Sync Wi-Fi on their personal devices will enjoy an exclusive offer from Crunchyroll; a 24-hour free trial to the world’s largest dedicated anime library for use during the flight or after landing (terms and exclusions apply). With 50,000 episodes of series and films, 25,000 hours of content and more than 2,000 unique titles, travelers can get lost in their favorite series or discover a new adventure, all before their plane touches down. This first-of-its-kind curated Crunchyroll experience will be available exclusively on Delta, and more details about what travelers can look forward to on their next flight will be shared closer to departure later this year.
“There is nothing better on a long flight than immersing yourself in the rich storytelling and world-building of anime. 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,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “We are excited to share what we love with Delta passengers and go to new heights together.”
“At Delta, we see every flight as an opportunity for discovery,” said Julieta McCurry, Delta V.P. of In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity. “Whether you’re diving into the anime genre for the first time or continuing a favorite series, bringing Crunchyroll to Delta gives our customers access to a world of storytelling while onboard and beyond. It’s part of Delta’s commitment to delivering industry-leading entertainment that reflects the passions and interests of our customers.”
With more than 17 million global subscribers, Crunchyroll immerses anime fans by offering a robust anime streaming library, simulcast series available shortly after premiere in Japan, theatrical premieres, free-to-play and subscription games through Crunchyroll Games and so much more.
