After just a year, Amazon has gutted its hard-to-love anime service Anime Strike, rolling the dozens of anime shows and movies Anime Strike offered into Amazon Prime’s general offerings.
Anime titles that had previously been $4.99 are now free with Amazon Prime.
Anime fans are celebrating Amime Strike’s rollback, and questioning why they had to suffer a double-paywall to watch anime on Amazon in the fist place.
Anime Strike, which launched early 2016, won licensing rights to much of 2016’s best titles like Inuyashiki, Princess Principal and Made In Abyss.
