Before Sony acquired Crunchyroll (in August 2021), the streaming platform offered premium and free accounts, which came with ads. However, the content was, for the most part, the same. In March 2022, Crunchyroll announced that they would be removing the option of watching weekly simulcasts without premium accounts for most titles.
