Since combining forces with Funimation in 2022, Crunchyroll has become the planet's dominant force for anime streaming. Having already built up a loyal following since it was founded in 2006, the niche streaming platform now has upwards of 10 million paid subscribers who are able to access a dedicated anime library of more than 1,000 titles.

Name an anime show and there's an extremely good chance that it's included in the Crunchyroll catalog, and new content is being added all the time. The likes of Attack on TItan, Spy x Family, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer are all there. But they're really the tip of the iceberg.

Generally speaking, all of Crunchyroll's titles are available the world over. But sometimes you'll find one unavailable in a specific country because another platform has the rights there. And in some countries (e.g. Russia, China, Japan), Crunchyroll isn't available at all. If you're affected by those issues, we have advice in this article on how to watch Crunchyroll shows from anywhere in the world.

And it's also interesting to note that some countries have much cheaper Crunchyroll subscriptions than others – keep reading and you'll discover that it costs from $7.99 a month in the US but the equivalent of less than 40 cents in Argentina.
