Employees at Crunchyroll describe a unique experience where their personal interests and professional work intersect. The opportunity to contribute to a product they genuinely care about creates a strong sense of pride, engagement and fulfillment, making day-to-day work both meaningful and rewarding.

“For me, the best part of working here at Crunchyroll is being a part of something powerful that I believe in both as a fan and a professional. I am proud of the work I do to expand Crunchyroll's incredible library of anime content and I encourage other women to pursue careers that align with their passions, genuine interests, or hobbies.

Crunchyroll has created a workplace that reflects its passion for anime while prioritizing employee comfort and experience. Employees describe an environment filled with personality, thoughtful design and amenities that make the office feel welcoming, inspiring and uniquely connected to the company’s mission and community.

“Our office feels like a love letter to anime and all things Crunchyroll — you can really tell how much thought and care our Workplace Experience Team poured into every detail. From the artwork on the walls to the plants brightening up the space to the themed meeting rooms, it’s got so much character and warmth.

We’re based in San Francisco, just steps from Chinatown and the iconic Dragon Gate. Some of the amenities that put employees front and center include the first-floor bathrooms with fancy Japanese toilets, a cozy little manga library, an onsite gym, a well-stocked snack bar and plenty of comfy lounge areas that make it easy to relax or catch up with people.”
