DeNA, the owners of MyAnimeList, continue to look for ways to grow the site. They previously purchased Anime Consortium Japan and used their Daisuki streaming service to embed episodes of anime into the site; however, Daisuki ceased operations back in 2016, losing out to other companies such as FUNimation, Netflix, Anime Strike and Crunchyroll. To supplement this, MyAnimeList added anime from Crunchyroll as well as Hulu.
