Is Crunchyroll Finally Landing on Delta? What Flyers Need to Know
Anime is taking to the skies: Starting in early November 2025, Crunchyroll will bring Black Clover, My Roommate Is a Cat, Horimiya, Fruits Basket, and Solo Leveling to Delta Air Lines, streaming across more than 165,000 seatback screens.
If you fly Delta and you like anime, your in-flight binge options are about to improve a lot. Starting in early November 2025, Crunchyroll is putting a curated lineup on Delta’s seatback screens, and SkyMiles members get a bonus perk that basically opens the floodgates to Crunchyroll’s entire library mid-flight.
What’s rolling out (and where)
Delta will light up more than 165,000 seatback screens with Crunchyroll programming, and this is the first time Crunchyroll’s curated anime experience has been available on any airline. Delta customers — SkyMiles members and non-members alike — will be able to watch every episode of five series directly on those seatback screens.
The lineup
- Solo Leveling — Crunchyroll’s Anime of the Year winner; action-fantasy power trip — rating: 8.6/10
- Black Clover — long-running shonen crowd-pleaser with big battles — rating: 8.2/10
- Fruits Basket — classic romance with generational family drama — rating: 8.5/10
- Horimiya — sweet, grounded rom-com about image vs. reality — rating: 7.3/10
- My Roommate is a Cat — cozy slice-of-life with a feline co-lead — rating: 7.7/10
The SkyMiles extra (aka the really big perk)
On top of the seatback selections, SkyMiles members who log in to Delta Sync Wi-Fi on their own devices during the flight get an exclusive freebie: a 24-hour pass to stream Crunchyroll’s full catalog — more than 2,000 anime titles — with no payment required while you’re watching in the air.
If you somehow don’t have SkyMiles: it’s Delta’s loyalty program where you earn miles on flights and everyday spending, then redeem for travel and other rewards. Signing in with that account is what unlocks the Crunchyroll day-pass.
Why Delta is doing this (and why fans should care)
Anime isn’t niche anymore — it’s global, and studios, streamers, and yes, airlines know it. For Delta, this is an easy way to make the in-flight experience feel less like killing time and more like catching up on a show you actually want to watch. For Crunchyroll, it’s a high-visibility pipeline to new viewers. And for passengers, it’s five full series at your seat plus a no-cost door to the entire Crunchyroll library if you’re a SkyMiles member. That’s a win all around.
