Crunchyroll brings all you can eat Anime buffet to Boxee
If you’re an anime fan, you’ve probably already heard of Crunchyroll. If not, then let us introduce you to the web’s largest host for free, fully licensed Anime and Asian Entertainment. The site has 5 million registered users, and great Anime including newer shows like Naruto Shippuden & Gintama and ones from the past like MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM 00 and Fist of the Northstar.
The team at Crunchyroll has worked hard over the past few months to build a Boxee App, and we are happy to announce they are ready to roll it out to Crunchyroll and Boxee users today.
The App organizes videos into Featured Content, Anime, and Dramas. You can filter by popularity, season, or genre in the Anime section, and the Drama section is broken down into Chinese, Japanese, and Korean content. In Drama, there’s forty four Korean shows alone including Coffee Prince, Prince Hours, 90 Days Time To Love, Soulmate, and One Fine Day (thankfully there are subtitles for people like me who learned Korean from Arrested Development).
The Crunchyroll App will also let you search their catalog and access your Crunchyroll account. Crunchyroll members get the added benefits of 480p and 720p HD streams + being able to watch popular shows as they air in Asia.
There’s free Anime & Drama a-plenty so add the App and try it out.

Amazing. I’m a big anime fan. I can’t wait to check out this App. Thank you, Crunchyroll devs!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…You just made my day! That is awesome!
Good to see them getting some distribution. We need more inexpensive, yet legitimate content like this
Well, if you got crunchyroll on here =D then i’m in. Been a fan of crunchyroll for a long time. Never heard of boxee though, but anything that would simplify my monitor into a media explosion is nice =D
Installing right now.
Loaded this up but doesn’t work 100% for me. I have a subscription to crunchyroll so I get early access, but early access shows are not showing up. Anyone have any ideas?
I saw your note on the forums as well. I sent a note to the guys from Crunchyroll who built the app so that we can get to the bottom of your issue.

I did not see this in the App Box to add (Apple TV)
