Should I buy Crunchyroll as a gift?

Yes—buy Crunchyroll as a gift if the recipient likes anime or has mentioned anime streaming. The safest choice is a Crunchyroll Premium Membership digital gift card, such as a 1-month Mega Fan-style gift, because it avoids committing them to a long subscription and can be delivered digitally.

I would not buy it if you are unsure they watch anime, if they already share a Crunchyroll Premium account, or if they mainly watch live-action shows, sports, or general TV. Also check the exact gift-card type before buying: Crunchyroll Store gift cards are different from Premium Membership gift cards, and Store gift cards are reportedly no longer available for new purchase, though older ones may still be redeemable.
