Full announcement below (emphasis mine):

Get ready for around-the-clock anime, because Crunchyroll announced the launch of a new 24/7 channel. Anime is on the menu all the time on the Crunchyroll channel, which will be available first via Amazon Freevee, LG Channels (available on LG Smart TVs), The Roku Channel and VIZIO WatchFree+.

The network will include English-dubbed programing at launch with a bunch of fan-favorites making an appearance. Among the featured series are:

  • Horimiya
  • Ranking of Kings
  • Moriarty the Patriot
  • PSYCHO–PASS
  • Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest
  • Sugar Apple Fairytale
  • To Your Eternity
  • Code Geass

The channel is a collaboration between Crunchyroll and GSN. Look for other promotional, genre and themed programming blocks to be scheduled to give viewers a taste of the varied anime coming out of Japan.

This is interesting. I wonder how this fits into a business model? I mean, how do they make enough money from this to justify the cost of operation? Does this require a subscription, or is this a free channel which serves ads and commercials? A bit of an unusual decision, but I can understand a little with the oversaturation of subscription streaming services and people getting nickel and dimed to death.

Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan.

Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.
