Crunchyroll and Delta Air Lines announced a partnership Monday to offer anime as part of the in-flight entertainment on the airline. The anime addition is set to arrive later this year, and Delta passengers will be able to stream content handpicked from Crunchyroll. SkyMiles members will receive an exclusive perk of a 24-hour free trial of the streaming service that can be used abroad the flight or after touching down.
Crunchyroll will hit more than 169,000 seatback screens on Delta aircraft. This marks the first time the streamer has inked a deal with an airline. Delta offers a selection of streaming content from Paramount Plus, DirecTV and Spotify. Although it is still unclear whether titles like Dan Da Dan, The Apothecary Diaries or Demon Slayer are guaranteed to be on flights, Crunchyroll said “more details about what travelers can look forward to on their next flight will be shared closer to departure later this year.”
If you have SkyMiles, you’ll be able to access the Crunchyroll app via your personal devices if you use Delta Sync Wi-Fi before and after traveling. That means you can check out anime movies and shows or even play games for the trial period. The Sony-owned anime streaming service offers simulcasts of show episodes and a catalog that features over 1,500 hours of content in multiple languages, including films, music videos and TV series.
