[VERGE] Amazon will now let you access Crunchyroll’s anime library right from Prime Video
Stream endless anime without hopping between apps.

The only library that I want to access is my selfhosted Jellyfin instance, which is full of pirated movies and TV shows
Chad moment.
On the one hand, Crunchyroll's UI was absolute garbage. On the other hand, Amazon is probably going to use this to justify a raise in prices and data mine the crap out of your usage.
There is a cool website that has just everything...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The companies have announced a global distribution agreement that allows Amazon to offer Crunchyroll as one of its Prime Video Channels.
Prime Video Channels are optional add-on services that come at an extra monthly cost.
But there’s a convenience aspect in that Amazon handles all billing, and more importantly, you can watch these channels directly inside Prime Video without having to hop between numerous entertainment apps.
In the case of Crunchyroll, that’s a good thing, as its app available for smart TV and set-top platforms can be buggy and annoying to navigate.
Crunchyroll is coming to Prime Video Channels today in the US and will be available in Canada, Sweden, and the UK by the end of the week.
The service is home to what it claims is the world’s largest streaming library of anime, which consists of over 24,000 hours, 46,000 episodes, and more than 1,300 series and films.

And the tradeoff for this convenience is that Amazon will scour your usage and make whatever they can of their findings.
