What is Crunchyroll?

Crunchyroll is the biggest dedicated anime service, with simulcasts of new seasons often within an hour of Japan and a huge back-catalogue of subbed and dubbed series.

Why is Crunchyroll geo-blocked?

Anime is licensed per territory, so a title can be on Crunchyroll in one country and blocked in another. Some simulcasts also unlock at different times depending on your region.

Which ROOT server unblocks Crunchyroll?

Connect to a ROOT server in a region that carries the series you want. A US exit tends to have the broadest Crunchyroll catalogue. You can browse every option on the the United States VPN page or the full list of ROOT locations.

Crunchyroll unblocking questions

Why is an anime missing from Crunchyroll in my country?
Territory licensing. A show can be unavailable where you are but present in another region. A ROOT server in that region lets a valid account stream it.
Does ROOT help with simulcast timing?
Some episodes unlock earlier in certain regions. Connecting to a ROOT server there can line you up with the earlier release.
Will my Crunchyroll subscription still work?
Yes. Your account and premium status are unchanged; only the regional catalogue shifts with the server country.
Which region has the most anime?
The US catalogue is generally the largest, so a ROOT United States server is a strong default.
Is using a VPN for streaming legal?
Using a VPN is legal in most countries and ROOT is a legitimate privacy tool. ROOT changes where your connection appears to be, not what you are allowed to watch. Only stream content you have the right to access, with a valid subscription or entitlement where one is required.
