ADV Films has launched a promotion on Crunchyroll.com in conjunction with a price promotion at Best Buy on Welcome to the N.H.K.  Crunchyroll will offer two streaming episodes of Welcome to the N.H.K. a week, beginning this week and continuing until 12 episodes have been offered. 

 

Ads from Best Buy, adjacent to the streams, offer Volumes 1-3 of the series at $14.99, Volume 2 with Box at $19.99.  Those prices are 50% off MSRP.  “We’ve chosen our best retail partner to kick off this promotion,” an ADV spokesperson said. 

 

The episodes offered on Crunchyroll will be dubbed for maximum accessibility.

 

Crunchyroll is a potent force, and is carving out a place for itself with legal anime downloads and streams.  It serves 19 million videos a month in the U.S. alone, and attracts over 4 million unique visitors per month.
