What's available
Crunchyroll Germany gives you access to a solid anime library that covers most of the major simulcast titles. You can stream popular ongoing series like One Piece, Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan. Classic series such as Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, and Dragon Ball Super are also fully available. Films including Dragon Ball Super: Broly and select Gundam movies round out the catalog.
What you're missing
Compared to the US library, German subscribers lose access to a frustrating number of titles due to regional licensing. Notable gaps include:
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood — unavailable in Germany
- Hunter x Hunter (2011) — geo-blocked for German users
- Sword Art Online — not in the German catalog
- Re:ZERO — restricted in Germany
- That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime — missing from the German library
- Overlord — unavailable due to licensing conflicts
These titles are often licensed to competing platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime Video in Germany, which is why they're blocked on Crunchyroll locally.
How to access other regions
A VPN lets you route your connection through a server in another country, making Crunchyroll think you're browsing from that location. To access the full US library, connect to a United States server, then open Crunchyroll as normal. Our top recommendation is NordVPN — it reliably bypasses Crunchyroll's geo-restrictions, offers fast streaming speeds, and has a large pool of US servers to choose from. Simply install NordVPN, select a US server, and you're ready to stream the titles missing from your German account.
Pricing
Crunchyroll in Germany is priced in euros. Current plans run approximately €6.99/month for Fan, €9.49/month for Mega Fan, and €13.99/month for Ultimate Fan. Prices may vary slightly depending on active promotions or annual billing options.
Our recommendation
If you're an anime fan based in Germany, Crunchyroll is still worth subscribing to — the simulcast lineup alone justifies the cost. However, the missing titles are genuinely significant, and pairing your subscription with NordVPN unlocks the complete US library with minimal effort. Connect to a US server before launching the app and you won't notice any regional difference.
