$11.95 a month?
Guys, that is a ripoff, if you sign up on PC it's about half of that...

Also, on PC you don't have to pay anything if you don't want, you only get all the new shows delayed a week.

12$ is for the anime, drama and manga. 7$ for just the anime. It's the same damn subscription that works on all devices, so if you already have a crunchyroll sub, you're all set.

It's funny because I can't think of any other streaming service that actually lets you stream for free on non-PC devices except for Hulu on the smart phone (I was surprised to find out this, honestly).  

Also, even if it were $11.95 a month just for the Wii U subscription, you could just get the PC subscription and use it on the Wii U (as it says it would work for existing members). 

edit: Actually, I think crunchyroll is free as well, but you have to be connected to wifi to use it. You don't for the Hulu app.

So it isn't free... Could it be that it's even more expensive than when signing up on PC?

It's available in Europe early next year.


Its like PS+. Free stuff for a monthly subscription

I thought it was free unless you wanted ad free streaming. Am I wrong?

Except that PS+ didn't get more expensive when expanding to PS4.

No that is right. It's free with ads.
