Crunchyroll brings thousands of anime episodes to Vizio TVs

Crunchyroll brings thousands of anime episodes to Vizio TVs

As a cord-cutter since 2010, he’s spent over 15 years covering tech and streaming for sites like TechRadar, Tom’s Guide, and CrackBerry. He also has a soft spot for '80s movies.

Anime fans rejoice as Crunchyroll is making big moves again — this time landing directly on VIZIO Smart TVs across the U.S. Now, anyone with a SmartCast-enabled VIZIO device can dive straight into the world’s largest anime library with no extra steps. That means you now have over 50k episodes and endless hours of anime, no strings attached.

This native integration is another sign of how niche streaming services work their way into the mainstream. Crunchyroll isn’t just for super-fans anymore; it’s positioning itself right alongside the likes of Netflix and Hulu in terms of visibility and ease of access. This rollout also reinforces something Crunchyroll’s been building toward for a while: being everywhere anime fans are. Between recent expansions and today’s VIZIO launch, the platform’s clearly focused on ubiquity. And with the anime scene booming, the timing couldn’t be better.

What can you watch?

Fans can jump into the newest seasons of hit shows like:

Of course, staples like “One Piece” and other classics are also there, as are simulcasts, movies, and even music videos.

Crunchyroll already serves over 17 million paid subscribers. But embedding itself into the SmartCast interface on all VIZIO Smart TVs makes anime more accessible than ever — no extra devices, no apps to install, just instant streaming. For longtime fans, it’s a win. For casual viewers curious about the hype, it’s a low-friction way in.

Whether catching up on new episodes or finally checking out that show everyone’s been talking about, Crunchyroll’s new presence on VIZIO makes it easier to start watching.

Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll is a subscription video streaming service catering to fans of anime with over 30,000 episodes. Viewers can see new episodes of shows one hour after they air in Japan, and read hundreds of chapters across dozens of manga titles. Some of their more popular titles are Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, and Fire Force.

…

Crunchyroll offers three plans. The “Fan” ($9.99) plan allows streaming on 1 device, but no offline viewing. Their “Mega Fan” ($13.99) plan allows viewing on 4 devices along with offline viewing. And the “Ultimate Fan” ($17.99) plan offers viewing on 6 devices, offline viewing, and an annual swag bag, among other perks.

For maximum flexibility, The Streamable recommends adding Crunchyroll as a Prime Video channel.
