How to Install & Watch Crunchyroll on FireStick: In this guide, I’ll walk you through the process of installing Crunchyroll on FireStick. The steps provided will work on all Fire TV devices, including FireStick Lite, FireStick 4K Max, FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K, New FireStick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.
What Is Crunchyroll?
Crunchyroll is a leading streaming platform for anime enthusiasts around the world. With a vast library of anime series and manga, it’s no surprise that Crunchyroll is a go-to destination for anime fans.
Crunchyroll subscribers can enjoy access to over 30,000 episodes of anime, spanning a wide range of genres from modern hits to timeless classics. Popular series like Attack on Titan, One Piece, Naruto: Shippuden, My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Kuroko’s Basketball are available on the platform. Crunchyroll stands out among other streaming services such as Hulu and Netflix, especially when it comes to anime content, offering several titles that other platforms may not carry.
Another reason Crunchyroll is considered the top destination for anime fans is its simulcasting feature. The service airs anime series as they are released in Japan, allowing subscribers outside Japan to watch new episodes right as they drop. However, if you’re a fan of dubbed versions rather than subtitles, Crunchyroll might not be the perfect choice for you. The majority of shows on the platform are in Japanese with English subtitles, so if you prefer English dubs, you may need to look elsewhere for some titles.
How to Subscribe to Crunchyroll on FireStick 2025
To watch Crunchyroll on your FireStick, you’ll first need to create an account. Crunchyroll offers both paid subscription plans and an ad-supported free option. The free plan has limitations, such as not providing access to simulcasts or the full library of anime and manga content. However, there’s still plenty of content available for free users, and you can stream in up to full HD quality.
Crunchyroll’s Premium plans lift the restrictions on the free version, granting access to all content and ad-free streaming, along with members-only discounts on the Crunchyroll store.

Before you start streaming, be aware that everything you stream online is visible to your ISP and government authorities, which can lead to legal trouble. To keep your streaming activities private, consider using a VPN.
A VPN can hide your original IP address and protect you from online surveillance, ISP throttling, and geo-restrictions.

I recommend ExpressVPN, which is fast, secure, and works perfectly with FireStick. Here’s how to set it up:
- Subscribe to ExpressVPN.

Once connected, your connection will be secure, and you can stream privately and safely.
