Thousands of anime titles at your fingertips

Crunchyroll is a freemium streaming service with thousands of anime series and films available for you to watch as early as an hour after an episode has premiered in Japan and with subtitles. This multimedia app features a variety of genres, including sports, romance, fantasy, and action anime titles to name a few. 

Similar to Netflix, users also have the option to download episodes or films on Crunchyroll for them to watch offline. Both apps also offer different subscription options that you can choose from based on the number of people using your account or the subscription duration.

Watch new episodes early

Anime fans can enjoy hours of their favorite shows and films in full HD quality thanks to the Crunchyroll app. Not only does this streaming service allow you to watch a variety of popular shows, such as Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and Naruto Shippuden, but it also grants you the ability to read their respective mangas right from the app, as well.

The app features a sleek and easy-to-use interface that allows you to search for titles by genre or according to popularity and latest releases. Users can also bookmark their favorite shows to add them to their watchlist. Based on your chosen subscription you can also stream on up to six different devices at the same time, so you and your friends and family can each enjoy watching your own shows. 

One notable feature of the app is that it also syncs your activity across devices, so you can easily pick up a show right where you left off, even when using a different device. Take note, though, that there is a recurring bug that resets your language settings, so you’ll need to rechoose the audio and subtitle settings quite often.

Crunchyroll heads to Amazon Prime Video

With the Amazon-Crunchyrolll distribution agreement, Prime Video subscribers are in for a treat as the popular anime streaming platform is now available on Amazon Prime Video in select regions: Canada, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Subscribers from other countries, though, will have to wait until 2024. 

By heading to the Prime Video Store, users can select between two Crunchyroll monthly subscription offers, namely Fan membership and Mega Fan membership. While both memberships promise ad-free viewing, the latter subscription package offers additional perks, such as offline viewing and four-device simultaneous streaming. Viewers need not worry about the price since the cost of both packages remains unchanged regardless of whether they purchase their subscription on the Crunchyroll app itself or Amazon Prime Video.

Another feature that is introduced is the anime streaming service’s linear channel. Exclusive to US viewers and accessible via Amazon Freevee, the linear channel contains a plethora of fan-favorite anime shows for new and old fans to watch at any time—albeit with ads.

Every anime fan’s ideal app

With the ability to watch thousands of anime and catch up on your favorite manga, Crunchyroll offers a great number of features that you can enjoy anytime and anywhere. Although there are some issues that need to be fixed regarding the language settings, the app’s ability to sync across devices and provide you with high-quality streams makes it a top-tier choice.
