Delta Air Lines is partnering with Crunchyroll to bring anime to seatback screens across the airline’s fleet.
With 17 million subscribers, Crunchyroll is the global brand offering the largest dedicated anime streaming library. It will be available exclusively on Delta.
Starting this month, anime content curated by Crunchyroll is beginning to roll out on more than 165,000 seatback screens across the Delta fleet.
A recent survey commissioned by Crunchyroll revealed that nearly half of Gen Z fans consider anime a meaningful part of their identity. Over half of Millennial and Gen X fans have stayed connected to anime for more than a decade.
Episodes from the action-adventure Black Clover, My Roommate is a Cat, and the romantic comedy Horimiya will be available. Fruits Basket and the dark fantasy Solo Leveling, which won Anime of the Year at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, will also be accessible.
Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll, commented: “There is nothing better on a long flight than immersing yourself in the rich storytelling and world-building of anime. Fans can go deep on one series or sample one episode of many series – from action to adventure, romance and more. And when they get hooked, they can continue their experience on the Crunchyroll app.
“We are excited to share what we love with Delta customers and go to new heights together,” continued Purini.
Sarah Downs, Managing Director of In-Flight Entertainment Engagement and Optimisation at Delta Air Lines, said: “The world of anime is rich with storytelling and emotion, and Crunchyroll brings that to life in a way that’s perfect for travel. This partnership is a meaningful part of our ongoing commitment to delivering industry-leading entertainment that’s as dynamic and diverse as the customers we serve.”
