Crunchyroll on Sony LIV

In May 2026, Crunchyroll partnered with Sony LIV to expand anime streaming in India.

The service became available as an add-on subscription priced at ₹99 per month, with an introductory promotional offer of ₹49 per month available between May 7 and May 21.

The early availability of these regional-language dubs on Sony LIV suggests that certain titles may reach the platform before their release on Crunchyroll’s standalone service.

More Anime in Indian Languages

The addition of these titles further expands the availability of Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu-dubbed anime for Indian viewers on another streaming platform in India.
