Anime is an international phenomenon nowadays, and this development can be at least partially credited to platforms like Crunchyroll. Firmly established as the main option for streaming anime content, the service has an ever-expanding library that covers classics and modern releases, making them as accessible as possible. While not exhaustive, Crunchyroll has the most substantial (legal) selection in the North American market, exceeding both anime-focused and general alternatives. This fact was reinforced by its merger with Funimation, which saw many of the latter's exclusive shows make their way to Crunchyroll.
