Crunchyroll will no longer offer free ad-supported streaming for newly-released episodes, the anime streaming service announced in an update on its site

Crunchyroll will no longer offer free ad-supported streaming for newly-released episodes. Viewers who want to watch episodes of new or continuing series will have to upgrade to one of Crunchyroll’s premium plans.

Crunchyroll would delay the release of new episodes by one week for free users. Subscribers could watch them one hour after their premiere in Japan.

Crunchyroll will offer the first three episodes of each show in the sampler for free one week after their premiere until May 31. All users can still watch episodes previously added to the platform for free.

The Verge reached out to Crunchyroll with a request for comment but did n’t immediately hear back. The episodes from this season’s lineup will become available for free viewing in the future.
