HBO Max and Crunchyroll have announced details on their previously announced partnership, detailing 17 titles available at launch, as well as plans to maintain a curated, quarterly slate of anime.

The partnership sets HBO Max apart as an anime competitor in the streaming wars, especially considering that several of these titles were previously only on Netflix, including Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, Berserk, and Kill la Kill. That’s not to mention the fact that HBO Max has also announced it’ll host the Studio Ghibli library.

Detailed in a full list below, the first titles available hit a wide range of audiences and genre from Shonen action, to slice of life romance and drama, as well as a mix of classics and recent hits. Based on the selection, HBO is looking to dip into the genre while maintaining its reputation for “premiere content and innovative storytelling.”

HBO Max launches on May 27, for $14.99 a month. Below, check out the official PR from Crunchyroll, along with the full list of launch titles from HBO Max and Crunchyroll.
