Crunchyroll’s Gita Rebbapragada Is Always Thinking About Anime Fans And It’s Truly Heartwarming


BFOZ: When you speak to the studios about what’s on their slate for the upcoming year, what are the key indicators to success that jump out at you and figuring out what to put onto Crunchyroll next?

Gita: We look at what manga is really popular. We hear a lot from our fans in terms of what they’re reading, what they’re liking. We have a lot of our own data to go through, so there’s that. We also look at how things compliment what’s already being made and what genres we think are kind of popping. 

Obviously we have a lot of Isekai, for example, on our service that continues to be a really popular thing. And then we also look at taking some creative risks too. One of the things that we’re doing, we just announced this. Solo Leveling, for example — a show we’ve had that’s based on a Korean webtoon — we just announced that we’re doing an anime off of a PlayStation game, Ghost of Tsushima.
