How to Watch Crunchyroll
In order to gain access to Crunchyroll’s content, you’ll first need a Prime membership. Already have one? Just log in to your account and find it in the Prime Video Channel store. You’ll have to add it to your subscription in order to watch it.
If you’re not a Prime member, Amazon currently has a 30-day free trial, which means you can get Prime Video for free. You’ll still have to add Crunchyroll to your subscription through the Prime Video Channel store. Crunchyroll has two memberships to choose from: Fan ($7.99/month) or Mega Fan ($9.99/month). The main difference between the two is that Mega Fans will get access to all the content on top of being able to download programs for offline viewing as well as access to non-video perks, which is set to be released throughout the upcoming months.
After your free trial is over you’ll be charged the regular subscription price of $14.99/month (or $139/year). Students can save 50% off with a student membership that also gives you a 6-month free trial beforehand. Plus, if you’re in a qualifying government program you can save 50% off an EBT/Medicaid membership and enjoy a 30-day free trial.
Crunchyroll features a wide range of anime series and movies that you can enjoy 24/7, including The Great Cleric, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, My Unique Skills Makes Me OP even at Level 1, Am I Actually the Strongest?, Sweet Reincarnation, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon, Classroom for Heroes, Reign of the Seven Spellblades, Rurouni Kenshin, Undead Murder Farce and more.
