Crunchyroll Partners With THINK on Tokyo Anime Innovation

After all of the hoopla about Crunchyroll's financing and their copyright issues back in March, the company seems to have rebounded and are making great strides with partnerships. The Crunchyroll story seems very similar to the YouTube story in the early days.

Last month Crunchyroll announced partnerships with a variety of content providers in the U.S. and Japan. Today Crunchyroll is announcing a new partnership with the THINK company based in Japan. The partnership will create a new channel on Crunchyroll for the "Anime Innovation Tokyo ", backed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The launch will include several videos and digital channel dedicated to Anime Innovation Tokyo's content.

Crunchyroll self reports over four million unique visitors a month with a worldwide audience. Crunchyroll announced a $4 million Series A round of venture capital in February 2008.
