Crunchyroll announces master licensee titles for Autumn 2016 and Winter 2017

Written by A. H. on 01 Feb 2017



We spend a lot of time here on the UK Anime news desk (well, it's  less of a news desk and more of a news lap, unless there's a cat on it instead) reporting on the latest simulcasts to hit Crunchyroll each and every season.

However, what we don't talk about so often is the titles for which Crunchyroll is the so-called "master licensee". This is an increasingly important part of the equation, particularly in the wake of the company's partnertship with Funimation Entertainment as it denotes that Crunchyroll has more than merely digital rights to the title, meaning that their license may include other items such as home video rights, merchandise rights and other sundry rights for some or all territories.

While we don't know the exact breakdown of precisely which of these rights Crunchyroll hold for each title, we do know which recent titles Crunchyroll is the master licensee for thanks to a recent press release - thus, we can at least begin to guess where home video rights reside for a swathe of autumn 2016 and winter 2017 shows.

So, with all of that in mind, here's Crunchyroll's list of titles to which they are the master licensee for both this season and the last:
