If you've been looking to expand your anime collection, now might be the perfect moment (though your wallet might disagree). Crunchyroll's home video sale runs through June 24, coinciding with Amazon's "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" promotion on Blu-rays. Together, these sales offer excellent deals on anime seasons, films, and collector's editions. Let's dive into the standout offers.
Crunchyroll Blu-rays Reaching Record Lows
While Crunchyroll is primarily known for streaming, their store also carries physical DVDs, collectibles, and anime merchandise.
The current Crunchyroll sale offers 40-55% discounts on classics like Ouran High School Host Club (possibly my all-time favorite shoujo anime) alongside newer releases such as The Apothecary Diaries. I've personally verified these DVD and Blu-ray prices are currently at their lowest:

Amazon's Anime "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" Promotion

Unlike Crunchyroll's anime-exclusive sale, Amazon's deal spans multiple categories – you can even pair anime with books or manga. Simply add two eligible items to your cart, and the cheaper item automatically receives a 50% discount. As my colleague Chris Reed clarifies: "Amazon's confusing wording suggests you need to purchase two items to get one half off, but that's incorrect. It's truly buy one, get one at 50% off."
