CrunchyRoll anime is now available on Apple TV.
You can now access Crunchyroll anime through the Apple TV app.
If you're an anime fan, Apple has made watching even easier. Crunchyroll is now offered as a channel within the Apple TV app, allowing you to subscribe and stream without switching between apps. This feature is currently available in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia, coinciding perfectly with the spring anime season.
Here’s what Crunchyroll offers within the Apple TV app:
Users of Apple TV in supported regions can subscribe to Crunchyroll directly through the app. A 7-day free trial is available, after which the monthly fee is $9.99. Subscription management is entirely through Apple’s billing system.
However, there is an important limitation: this version operates separately from existing Crunchyroll accounts, meaning your current subscription cannot be linked. To access it on Apple TV, you'll need to create a new subscription through the platform.
The channel features Crunchyroll’s complete catalog, subject to regional availability. Being part of Apple TV Channels allows users to watch everything within the app, download content for offline viewing, and share access with up to six family members via Family Sharing.
Why is Crunchyroll broadening its reach beyond its own app?
This collaboration is part of Crunchyroll's strategy to attract a wider audience across different platforms. The service has already begun appearing on platforms like Prime Video and free streaming services such as Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, and Samsung TV Plus.
Recently, Crunchyroll raised its subscription prices, with plans now varying from $10 to $18 per month. Introducing it to Apple TV provides users another means to enjoy anime without being restricted to a single app.
Ultimately, it offers convenience. If you prefer having everything in one location, Apple TV simplifies that process. However, if you are a current Crunchyroll subscriber, you might want to reconsider before signing up again.
