What's Available
Crunchyroll in the Philippines gives you access to a solid anime library with both simulcast and catalog titles. You can stream popular ongoing series like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. Seasonal simulcasts are well-supported, so you'll typically get new episodes within hours of their Japanese broadcast. Classic series like Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are also available. On the film side, you can watch Dragon Ball Super: Broly and select Crunchyroll Movie Night titles.
What You're Missing
Compared to the US library, the Philippine catalog has some noticeable gaps. Several high-profile titles are unavailable due to regional licensing restrictions. These include:
- Attack on Titan: The Final Season (certain parts are missing or incomplete)
- Sailor Moon Crystal
- Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card
- Sword Art Online (licensed to a competing platform regionally)
- Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World (partial availability)
- That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (limited seasons)
Dubbing options are also more limited in the Philippines compared to the US version of the service.
How to Access Other Regions
To unlock the full US Crunchyroll library, you need a VPN. Connect to a US server, then open Crunchyroll — it will treat your connection as if you're browsing from the United States, giving you access to the complete catalog. We recommend NordVPN as your first choice. It offers fast, stable connections ideal for streaming HD anime without buffering, and it reliably bypasses geo-restrictions on Crunchyroll.
Pricing
Crunchyroll offers a free ad-supported tier in the Philippines. Paid plans start at approximately ₱179/month for the Fan tier, with the Mega Fan plan at around ₱269/month. The Ultimate Fan tier, which includes merchandise discounts, runs higher. Prices may vary depending on promotions or billing currency adjustments.
Our Recommendation
If you're an anime fan in the Philippines, Crunchyroll is worth subscribing to — the local library covers most major titles and simulcasts are fast. However, if you want the full experience without missing out on licensed titles unavailable in your region, pairing your subscription with NordVPN connected to a US server is the smartest move. You get more content, better dub selection, and the same price you're already paying.
