The best thing about Crunchyroll compared to other websites is that Crunchyroll is available on all platforms. You can use Crunchyroll through a web browser on any device or use the app, which is available on every platform imaginable.

You can also use Crunchyroll with free and premium plans. This allows you to log into your account on up to 20 devices simultaneously so you can watch your favorite anime on any device.

However, activating Crunchyroll on each device can be tricky as there are multiple ways to do this. In this blog, we’ll explain how to activate Crunchyroll on any device to take full advantage of the huge anime and manga catalog. We’ll start by setting up your Crunchyroll account and then show you how to activate Crunchyroll on all devices – from smartphones to smart TVs and consoles.

If you are interested in the topic or want to try it yourself to activate Crunchyroll on your devices, you will be able to do so at the end of this article.

Requirements to activate Crunchyroll

Activating Crunchyroll on different devices is not as easy as it seems. By default, Crunchyroll offers a free plan that allows users to watch content for free, but this plan does not offer simulcasts there are 3 other plans you can choose from:

Fan: $7.99/month

With this plan, you can watch all content without ads and also get a simulcast series that premieres in Japan on the same day. With this plan, you can only watch TV on one device at a time and log in on up to 20 devices simultaneously. You also get Crunchyroll’s digital manga library.

Mega Fan: $9.99/ month

This is probably the best plan to activate a Crunchyroll subscription. It offers all the perks of the Fan subscription plus the ability to download content and enjoy 4 simultaneous streams, which is not possible on the previous plan.

Ultimate Fan: $14.99/ month

As the name suggests, this subscription is for the ultimate fan. It’s the best subscription for those who are also interested in Crunchyroll merchandise, as it offers $25 off any $100 purchase from the Crunchyroll Store within 3 months. Plus, you can watch content on up to 6 devices simultaneously and offer all the other features of the previous subscriptions.

To activate Crunchyroll on any device, you must note that you can only log in on 20 devices at a time and with the(Ultimate Fan subscription, you can watch on a maximum of 6 devices at a time. Crunchyroll also offers a free subscription (ad-supported), but you can only log in on one device and cannot watch all available content.
