After taking social media by storm last year, Crunchyroll Arc is back, inviting fans to relive their anime journeys through a vibrant, personalised year-in-review experience. Presented by Crunchyroll, the global brand powering anime fandom worldwide, the return of Arc celebrates how anime has evolved into a daily ritual and cultural touchstone for millions across the globe.
In 2024, fans turned Crunchyroll Arc into a viral phenomenon, sharing their anime personas, viewing streaks and favourite series across platforms including X, Instagram and TikTok. The hashtag #CrunchyrollArc generated millions of impressions and community interactions, reinforcing a simple truth within the fandom: anime isn’t just something you watch, it’s a way of life.
At the heart of Crunchyroll Arc is the idea that viewing habits reflect identity. Fans may find that their anime persona has evolved over the year, much like the characters they love. From genre-hopping adventurers to lone warriors driven by myth and revenge, Arc captures how tastes change, grow and transform over time.
