This tutorial will show you how to install and use VRV on FireStick. The steps herein apply to any Fire TV product, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, 3rd Generation, Fire TV Cube, and smart TVs with a built-in Fire TV OS. However, before we discuss the installation steps and how to use the app, let’s look at its features and offerings.
What Is VRV?
If you are an anime fan, you probably know Crunchyroll, Sony’s premier subscription-based streaming service for animated movies and TV shows. VRV is a subsidiary app of Crunchyroll, offering anime, sci-fi, horror, comedy, fantasy films, and TV shows. The app lets you stream your favorite content anytime, anywhere because it’s compatible with various devices, including Android mobile devices, iOS, and Amazon Fire Stick.
VRV provides an extensive collection of American cartoons, Japanese anime, and dubbed animated films.
It has a free version that delivers high-quality films and movies; you only need to create a free account to access the hundreds of episodes that are continually updated.
However, the free version contains ads, which might be a turn-off for some users. Luckily, you can upgrade to a premium package to unlock ad-free and more content. The paid membership includes exclusive Crunchyroll content and dubbed anime in more languages, including Spanish, French, and Russian.
VRV is home to popular and upcoming animated movies and TV shows. Popular anime to catch up on include:
- Chainsaw man
- My Hero Academia
- One Piece
- Mob Psycho 100
- Attack on Titan
- Naruto Shippuden
- Black Clover
- Dragon Quest The Advent
- Legend of the Galactic Hero

Overview of VRV
Before you begin browsing the app, I recommend creating the app’s shortcut on your FireStick home screen if you intend to use it frequently. Doing this saves you time by giving you quick access to the app and watchlist. Here’s our guide on creating home screen shortcuts for apps on FireStick.
When you open the app, a prompt to create an account or sign in appears. If you have never created an account with VRV, you must create one for a wholesome watching experience. An account lets you create a customized watchlist, sync your watchlist between devices and continue watching from where you left off.
Follow the below steps to create a free VRV account:
1. Go to https://vrv.co
2. Enter your email address and password, then click Create Account. Wait a few moments for the app to create your account. Once the app has created your account, it will direct you to a new page where you will create your user name.
3. The app will provide a random username for you. If you like it, click Ok, Done. To create a new name, delete the provided one, type your preferred name, then click Ok, Done.
You have successfully created a VRV account. At this juncture, you may sign up for the premium plan if you want. However, I recommend starting the free trial to see what it offers before committing your money.
Follow these steps to sign up for the premium plan:
1. Go to https://vrv.co/tryfree.
2. Click 30-Day Free Trial.
3. Click Pay With Card or Paypal, depending on your preferred payment method.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payment.
Remember to cancel the subscription at the end of the trial period if you don’t want to continue with the premium membership.
After creating your VRV account, you can start browsing the app to see the movies and TV shows that pique your interest.
To start browsing content, sign in to your account. Follow these steps:
1. Enter your email address and password in the spaces provided.
2. Click Sign-in. After loading for a few moments, the app’s home screen appears.
VRV’s home screen is simple and easy to navigate. It has two items, the Search button and the Menu. You’ll also see the Most Popular content here, and scrolling down the screen shows more popular and recently updated episodes.
When you select a Title, you’ll see its description below the title and other data like whether it’s a series and the TV rating. You’ll also see Add to Watchlist and More Like This below the description. To watch an episode, tap Start Watching.
If you click on View All, you are directed to a new screen with three categories. These categories are:
- Most Popular
- Recently Added
- Alphabetical
The menu at the top right corner of the home screen lets you search for content using the search bar, go to the VRV home screen, see the VRV channels and sign in or create an account. The VRV channels include Crunchyroll, Mondo, and VRV Select.
Next to the menu option is the Search icon/magnifying glass. Clicking on this icon lets you search for a movie, TV show, or episode directly.
