1 min read
Summary
Discord and crunchyroll, the go-to service for watching anime, have partnered up to create exclusive avatars and profile decorations featuring characters from the anime series My Hero Academia, which will be added to users’ profiles across North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Australia and New Zealand.
The ‘shop collection’ will be available on May 25, ahead of the 2025 Anime Awards, where My Hero Academia is nominated for Best Continuing Series and Film of the Year.
With this new partnership, Discord aims to expand its user avatar features to appeal more to anime fans.
Crunchyroll, which streams the show globally, allows users to display their fandom and connect with each other through events like this.
This is one of the first big anime collaborations for Discord, and will help to expand the service’s 70 million monthly active users.
