Crunchyroll was once the only streaming service to offer a substantial variety of anime, but now other popular streaming services have caught on. Netflix and Hulu, as well as Funimation, are in the anime game and offer their own libraries of content featuring some of today’s most popular titles, including “One Piece,” “Black Clover,” and “Naruto.”

If you think you’re ready to make the switch from Crunchyroll, you can cancel all three paid membership tiers – Fan, Mega Fan, and Ultra Fan. Your membership will expire one day before the renewal date, and after that, revert to a free account.

You should know that canceling your premium membership will not delete your entire account. You’ll need to go through an additional process if you want to completely remove the free version. 

Here’s how to cancel a premium Crunchyroll membership and delete your entire account.
