Hey Everyone!

We love anime. You love anime. And we love that you love anime! So Crunchyroll wants to hear from YOU about how anime has changed your life!!

The anime community is passionate, diverse, and full of awesome people with great stories. Maybe anime helped you meet your best friend, got you through a rough time, or sparked an interest in a new activity!

PLUS - in the spirit of sharing, Crunchyroll will be bringing one lucky storyteller and a guest of their choice to CRUNCHYROLL EXPO 2018!!

When you submit your anime story, you’ll be entered into the international contest. That’s right - we’re bringing this contest out to 30 eligible countries! One winner and their guest will receive VIP CRX 2018 Badges, roundtrip airfare, and accommodations at Crunchyroll Expo 2018!! We know it will be hard to choose just one winner, so five runners-up will be awarded a one year of Crunchyroll Premium Membership.
