Crunchyroll Daily Deals Start With Death Note

Crunchyroll kicked off a "Daily Deals" series of discounts today, with the first such offer being a Death Note bookend statue set featuring the Shinigami death god character Ryuk in "stunning 3-D". Like all daily offers to follow, this too is only available until midnight (PST) or until the special stock runs out - whichever comes first.



Today's Death Note resin bookend statue is said to be worth $32, but CR is offering it for $15 to regular users, or $10 to Premium members. Shipping charges within the U.S. are around $5.00, and countries eligible for each daily deal will vary by product. Below you'll find a few more pictures of this kick-off deal, along with a comment from Brady McCollum, Crunchyroll Senior Director of Operations.

"Crunchyroll continues to be the digital platform for the anime industry to reach fans and grow their businesses online. By linking in physical merchandise opportunities, we're building an ecosystem for all companies within the industry to do business online and give fans great deals on the merchandise they enjoy"
