What it does
Crunchyroll streams anime, with the available selection determined by each title's regional licensing.
Check a show's availability in your own region before subscribing for it. A title mentioned online can be absent from the local catalogue because its licence covers different countries. Crunchyroll also says VPN access to unlicensed regions is unsupported and can cause login, playback or feature problems. This is a service to choose around the anime actually available to your account, rather than a worldwide title list.
Watch out for
- Regional licensing can prevent a listed anime from appearing or playing locally.
