If you have an anime fan on your holiday gift list—or even someone you think might want to get into anime—Crunchyroll, which just launched a linear channel and a Prime Video channel, would like to help you out. The anime purveyor is launching Crunchyroll Fan Shops in over 2,400 Walmart stores across the U.S.
The pop-up’s merch selection will be continually updated, with an emphasis on popular series like Dragon Ball Super, Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, Akira, and others; it will feature Walmart exclusives as well as the debut of physical subscription cards, so you can gift one-, three-, or 12-month subscriptions to the budding Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury fan in your life, or maybe someone who watched One Piece on Netflix and is now determined to watch its dauntingly large anime back catalog.
Here’s a list of everything exclusive to Walmart as far as Blu-ray collections go:
- Dragon Ball Z – Seasons 1-3 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Z – Seasons 4-6 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Z – Seasons 7-9 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Super – Parts 1-2 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Super – Parts 3-4 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Super – Parts 5-6 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Super – Parts 7-8 on Blu-ray
- Dragon Ball Super – Parts 9-10 on Blu-ray
- My Hero Academia – Seasons 1-2 on Blu-ray
- My Hero Academia – Seasons 3-4 on Blu-ray
The Crunchyroll Fan Shop will also be stocking manga titles, vinyl soundtracks, toys, and collectibles (including a Naruto ramen bowl, for the Crunchyroll subscriber who already has everything else).
