Crunchyroll, previously known as Funimation, is a streaming platform where you can watch over 1,000 anime shows, 200+ East Asian dramas, and more.

Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto, and you name it. All your anime fixations are available on Crunchyroll.

Crunchyroll is legally available in over 200+ countries and territories, connecting manga and anime fanatics worldwide.

On Crunchyroll, you can browse content by genres like action, adventure, comedy, thriller, supernatural and more.

The platform lets you catch up with news related to anime and manga. Also, it features a special section where you can play games.

All the new episodes are aired on Crunchyroll just one hour after Japan! Overall, Crunchyroll is one of the best apps for all manga & anime fans worldwide.

Attention FireStick Users: Read before you continue

Your government and ISP are probably monitoring your streaming activities using your IP address 93.43.201.56 (exposed to all). You may get into serious legal trouble for streaming copyrighted videos on FireStick. 

I strongly recommend getting a trusted VPN for FireStick to hide your IP address and protect your online identity.

I use ExpressVPN on all my devices as it is the most secure, fastest, and easy-to-use VPN. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back guarantee, and you get 3 free months with the yearly plan.

Don't miss out on the peace of mind and online security ExpressVPN provides.
