WEBTOON is home to some of the very best webcomics out there. Webtoons as popular as Tower of God and Noblesse which are both receiving anime adaptations very soon are distributed through the site.

Crunchyroll has seen the success and sheer potential in WEBTOON and have just announced a partnership with the company in order to co-produce new animated content based on WEBTOON’s vast catalogue of webtoons. Since this is a joint venture, both companies will be taking care of licensing, distribution, and retail.

Crunchyroll’s General Manager Joanne Waage commented by saying:

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with WEBTOON … WEBTOON has a tremendous catalogue of content and creators that resonate deeply with our audience and we can’t think of a better way to delight fans than by bringing these stories to life through animation.”

WEBTOON’s SVP of IP Development Taylor Grant said:

“There is tremendous crossover appeal with our audiences … and exceptional creative synergy on the types of stories we want to tell. We’re excited to partner with Crunchyroll to bring our globally appealing characters to audiences and consumers in new ways, as well as create new opportunities for our talented creators.”
