What's available

Crunchyroll's Australian library is solid and covers most of the platform's biggest titles. You get access to a huge catalogue of current and classic anime, including One Piece, Naruto Shippuden, Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia, and Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. Simulcast titles land in Australia at the same time as Japan, so you won't fall behind on seasonal releases like Chainsaw Man or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Crunchyroll's original productions and a growing library of anime films are also accessible.

What you're missing

The Australian library has gaps compared to the full US catalogue. Some notable titles that are either unavailable or geo-restricted include:

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood — often missing or limited due to regional licensing
  • Hunter x Hunter (2011) — availability has been inconsistent in Australia
  • Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal
  • Certain Crunchyroll-exclusive films and OVAs tied to US distribution deals
  • Some older catalogue titles like Inuyasha and Ranma ½

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Crunchyroll serves you content from a different regional library. To access the full US catalogue, connect your VPN to a United States server, then open Crunchyroll as normal. The platform will detect a US IP address and unlock the American library.

Our primary recommendation is NordVPN. It offers fast, reliable servers in multiple US cities, works consistently with streaming platforms, and is straightforward to set up on any device. Connect to a US server, clear your browser cache or restart the app, and you're ready to go.

Pricing

Crunchyroll offers three tiers for Australian subscribers:

  • Fan: approximately AUD $7.99/month
  • Mega Fan: approximately AUD $11.99/month
  • Ultimate Fan: approximately AUD $15.99/month

Pricing may shift, so check Crunchyroll's site directly for the latest rates. Annual plans offer a discount over monthly billing.

Our recommendation

Crunchyroll is worth subscribing to in Australia — the simulcast library alone makes it essential for any serious anime fan. But if you want titles like Hunter x Hunter or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood without hunting for alternatives, pairing your subscription with NordVPN and a US server connection gives you the most complete experience possible. The Mega Fan tier hits the best balance of price and features for most users.
