Wakanim: It’s over for the essential platform filled with anime

After merging with Crunchyroll, the Wakanim anime platform officially bows out. What about your current subscription and purchases made ?

Summary

In a few years, the Sony group has extended its grip on the world of Japanese animation with Funimation and the acquisition in 2021 of Crunchyroll for $ 1.175 billion. In 2022, the freshly acquired company absorbs Wakanim. which will close its doors in the coming weeks.

Wakanim’s official end

Since the merger, Wakanim has transferred its anime catalog on Crunchyroll. The idea being to find all the content on a single platform. “This means that all your anime will be available on a single platform. From today, the series and films available at Wakanim and Funimation will begin to arrive on Crunchyroll. You will therefore have more VF, more of VOSTFR, more of everything ! »» explained the company last year via its site.

This integration will take a new end from November 3 with the total closure of the service. “After fifteen years in the service of anime fans and after care, we made the decision to close Wakanim on November 3, 2023” declares the company in a press release (via manga news). A cessation of activity that will have consequences for subscribers. Until this date, you can view all the episodes as well as the unlimited series in streaming. But after that, the only solution will be to make a backup on a PC. “When the platform closes, the episodes and series purchased cannot be transferred to Crunchyroll and must be downloaded to your local computer to continue to view them as a personal copy”.

If you have Wakanim subscription days after November 3, 2023, they will be reimbursed by requesting customer service. Ditto for your credits as we can read in the FAQ. “You can use your remaining credits until the expiration date. After the expiration date, you will be entitled to a refund of the remaining credits on the platform through additional communication ” specifies the web portal.

Where to see your anime ? Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video.

This closure of Wakanim is the logical continuation of the merger with Crunchyroll. But it remains to be seen how the subscribers will welcome the news and if they will find their way through this story. At least the company seems to have opt for a smooth transition, and anime fans now know where to go. In addition to crunchyroll, SVOD platforms like Netflix and Prime Video also have a successful anime.

Nevertheless, there are limits compared to Crunchyroll. To start, do not expect to have a catalog as provided as the special service in animation programs. Then, even when some big names are available like Demon Slayer on Amazon Prime Video, it’s incomplete. For example, it is impossible to watch season 2 entirely without going to the checkout. One part is on bonus and the other on ocs.
