Crunchyroll Arc Launches Today
Back By Popular Demand, Crunchyroll's Personalized “Arc” Experience Returns To Spotlight The Growing Cultural Power Of Anime And The Fans Who Make It Thrive.
Los Angeles, CA; December 15, 2025 - After making waves across social media last year, Crunchyroll, the global brand fueling anime fandom, brings back its highly anticipated year-in-review experience, Crunchyroll Arc. The celebration highlights how anime has become a daily ritual and cultural touchstone for millions around the world. And if last year proved anything, it's that #CrunchyrollArc shows just how expressive, communal, and identity-driven anime fandom truly is.
In 2024, fans made Crunchyroll Arc a viral moment sharing their anime personas, viewing streaks, and favorite series across platforms like X, Instagram, and TikTok. The hashtag #CrunchyrollArc generated millions of social impressions and community interactions, proving what fans already knew: anime isn't just a genre, it's a way of life.
Maybe you swapped “Curious Dimensional Nibbler” (Hamurai) — a genre-hopping adventurer torn between power and heart — to become a Dread Collector, a relentless fighter who thrives when the odds hit zero. Or perhaps you traded in your rom-com Hanabae badge — the flustered keeper of grand romantic gestures — to seek revenge as Wandering Neko, a lone traveler driven by grit, monsters, and myth. And that's totally OK – your Crunchyroll Arc shows that what you watch is part of who you are…and your story is always evolving just like any great character arc.
Each fan's journey comes to life through one of seven dynamic personas::
Hamurai – Curious Dimensional Nibbler
A genre-hopping adventurer who thrives on chaos, mixing undercover missions with rom-com vibes. Always torn between power, purpose, and the monsters—literal or not—that follow.
Sage Puff – Eternal Flame Guardian
A newly isekai'd soul navigating fresh powers and unexpected teleportation. Lighthearted fantasy energy with big-shounen-growth potential.
Dread Collector – Overdramatic Demon (Third Final Form)
A fearless action-horror force who charges into impossible battles. Power spikes, brutal stakes, and zero-percent-survival-rate confidence.
Bonehead Brawler – Legendary Technique Shouter
A battle-trained hero built for boss fights, big punches, and very long charge-up moves. Relics, rivalries, and dramatic declarations included.
Nutmeg – Cheeky Hoarder of Hearts
A rom-com sweetheart whose awkward flirts and magical mishaps win everyone over. Blushing, love triangles, and enchanting chaos guaranteed.
Wandering Neko – Vengeful Seeker
A lone traveler on a perilous quest through monstrous lands and mythic relics. Stoic determination fueled by loss, grit, and quiet loyalty.
Hanabae – Keeper of Embarrassing Moments
A starry-eyed romantic who turns crushes into cosmic-level gestures. Over-the-top confessions and perfectly mistimed flustered moments define their journey.
From all-night marathons and unexpected obsessions to genre deep-dives and surprising crossovers, Crunchyroll Arc reflects the diversity and devotion of the global anime community.
Crunchyroll Arc 2025 is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Arabic so that our broad fans can relive their year in anime. Subscribers can explore their personalized results and share their Arc moments using #CrunchyrollArc.
