Crunchyroll

The Android app Crunchyroll fixes a big problem that anime fans have with waiting weeks for subtitled episodes that are free of spoilers. This streaming giant hosts new episodes within hours of their Japanese airing. Plus, it offers a guilt-free and safe experience with 1,000-plus anime titles to watch from.

The app is offered in free and paid tiers. The free tier has lots of ads. Furthermore, the access to the limited content makes it a preview rather than a good option. You can pay $7.99, $12.99, or $15.99 each month to unlock the complete library. The only difference in the three paid tiers is the convenience. Otherwise, all three tiers provide the same content source.

Massive library meets instant updates.

Crunchyroll holds a leading position in the anime simulcast segment on the back of exclusive deals and can deliver episodes just hours after airing in Japan. With titles from decades past to in-season series, the library is loaded! In addition to anime, the site offers East Asian drama streaming and exclusive original content.

The Japanese audio has been given priority in the multilingual subtitles while the vast English dubs are for those who prefer dubs. If you are already a part of the Amazon Prime Video ecosystem, you can subscribe easily.

Flexible viewing across your devices.

The experience of streaming on multiple devices is different based on the subscription tier. Users of Free and Fan tier can use only one device at a time. Users of Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tier can stream simultaneously on multiple devices. The free tier no longer requires consistent connectivity to function, as offline viewing is only available on premium tiers.

The individual user profiles now help solve the problem of shared accounts. Every person has their own watchlist, view history and progress tracking, and it won’t interfere with others.

Five features that maximize your subscription.

• Download offline before you travel so you can watch without buffering.
• Make different profiles for different household members to not affect recommendations.
• During setup, link Amazon Prime account for consolidated billing.
• Visit our anime merchandise store to get those exclusive discounts for premium subscribers only.
• Join the features of anime community platform to discuss the episode with fans right after release.

Worth the monthly investment.

The free tier works like a glorified anime free trial but comes with stringent limitations and aggressive ad placements. The Fan tier is the one where the real value begins, although the single-device restriction and lack of offline access currently hamper mobile users. At $11.99, the Mega Fan is perfect for most viewers, as it allows four screens and downloads movies to watch offline.

There is no extra content available and so the $15.99 cost of Ultimate Fan just adds on the store discounts and extra concurrent streams. Unless you are constantly buying stuff from the store or sharing your account with several members of the household, it’s an overkill.

Sharing passwords is not supported unlike its competitors. When features are compared with the costs, the top tier costs are eyebrow raising.
