‘Anime is Niche No More’: Crunchyroll EVP Mitch Berger Teases 2025 Slate at Annecy
Crunchyroll is positioning itself as a major player in the entertainment industry.
Surveying nearly 29,000 respondents from ages 13-54 in seven global markets, the latest Crunchyroll study —conducted by National Research Group (NRG)— underscored anime’s growing role as both a cultural foundation and emotional outlet for younger audiences.
