VRV Review
VRV is a subscription video streaming service that includes on-demand access to a large library of anime titles and cult favorites. VRV isn’t uploading new content. If you’re interested in the service, you should subscribe to Crunchyroll, where all future content will live.
VRV offers two plans — a free tier and a premium, ad-free option. VRV has over 20,000 hours of free content, which updates regularly. Some channels have exclusive series for members who choose the Premium option.
Premium users get access to Crunchyroll (the world’s largest anime collection), MONDO (extreme animation), and VRV Select (new content).
