Crunchyroll is the biggest and best streaming platform for anime fans worldwide, featuring hundreds and hundreds of the most popular anime series and movies in the world (and now manga!) Although you can watch tons of anime on Crunchyroll for free, the best way to get the most out of the streaming service is to get a Crunchyroll Premium subscription.
Crunchyroll Premium not only allows you to watch shows without commercials, but also gives you access to new episodes shortly after they are released in Japan, free to play games via Crunchyroll Game Vault, and exclusive offers on merchandise in the official Crunchyroll Store. If you still don't have a Crunchyroll subscription, follow GameRant's official step-by-step guide below to get started with Crunchyroll Premium ASAP – you won't regret it.
Step 1: Go to Crunchyroll using this link
First things first, you'll want to head over to the Crunchyroll site itself to access their premium page. Just click this link and you'll quickly get to where you want to be. If you're hesitant about subscribing, Crunchyroll offers a free 7-day trial for their MEGA FAN premium plan, so you can get a taste of everything Crunchyroll Premium has to offer without committing right away.
When you click the free trial link, enter your payment information using either PayPal, a credit or debit card, and then proceed to checkout. You can cancel your free trial at any time, but should you decide to keep your subscription, your account will automatically renew at $13.99/month at the MEGA FAN level. If you want to keep your subscription, but downgrade or upgrade, be sure to do so before your 7-day trial ends.
Step 2. Choose your plan
Crunchyroll also offers free trials for their FAN and ULTIMATE FAN tiers, so if you want to try one of the other tiers for free, just scroll down on the Premium page to the Choose Your Premium section. If you'd rather skip the free trial altogether and jump right into getting a Crunchyroll subscription, you'll want to review the different tiers.
Crunchyroll Premium's FAN tier is the cheapest plan at $9.99/month. A Crunchyroll Premium FAN subscription gives you access to the entire Crunchyroll library ad-free, along with new episodes released shortly after their domestic premiere in Japan and offline viewing. The FAN tier can only stream on 1 device at a time and offers a 5% discount on select products in the Crunchyroll store.
The most popular Crunchyroll Premium MEGA FAN subscription costs $13.99/month. Just like the FAN tier, the MEGA FAN gives you full access to the Crunchyroll library, offline viewing, and new episodes shortly after their Japanese debut. Unlike the FAN level, Crunchyroll MEGA FAN accounts can stream on a total of 4 devices simultaneously, get full access to the Crunchyroll Game Vault, 10% off the Crunchyroll Store on select products, early access to sales, member-exclusive merch offers, and free US shipping on orders over $50.
The Crunchyroll Premium ULTIMATE FAN subscription is the most expensive at $17.99/monthbut comes with by far the most advantages. ULTIMATE FAN accounts get access to the complete Crunchyroll library with no ads, new episodes right after their Japanese premiere, offline viewing and can stream on 6 different devices at any given time. Crunchyroll Premium ULTIMATE FAN subscribers also get access to the entire Crunchyroll Game Vault and Crunchyroll Manga. On top of that, you'll get 15% off select items in the Crunchyroll Store, exclusive items, early access to all sales, and free shipping on all orders placed in the US. Best of all, after a full year of subscription, you get a free swag bag delivered to your mailing address.
Once you've chosen your plan, simply enter your payment information using PayPal or a debit or credit card, proceed to checkout and start enjoying a Crunchyroll Premium subscription.
Step 3. Watch your favorite anime on Crunchyroll
Once you've subscribed, the last thing you need to do is start watching your favorite anime on Crunchyroll! The Crunchyroll library has access to over 50,000 episodes and 25,000 hours of anime between series and movies, so you're guaranteed to find your favorite shows and movies to stream.
For ULTIMATE FAN subscribers, the Crunchyroll Manga app features hundreds of manga, including fan favorite series such as One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Whitenand Naruto. Crunchyroll Game Vault also contains some truly phenomenal games such as Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth, Ys I & IIand the original Stein's; Gate visual novel.
