What's available

Crunchyroll in South Korea gives you access to a solid anime library, including many of the platform's biggest titles. You can stream popular ongoing series like Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Attack on Titan. Seasonal simulcasts are well-supported, so you'll get new episodes of shows like Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Solo Leveling shortly after their Japanese broadcast. Films including Dragon Ball Super: Broly and select Gundam movies are also available.

What you're missing

The South Korea library is noticeably smaller than the US catalog. Several high-profile titles are geo-restricted or simply absent, including:

  • Naruto and Naruto Shippuden (limited or unavailable)
  • Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (restricted in certain regions)
  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  • Sword Art Online (full catalog)
  • Several classic Funimation-library titles that haven't fully migrated

Licensing agreements with Korean broadcasters mean some titles air locally first, keeping them off Crunchyroll entirely for domestic viewers.

How to access other regions

A VPN lets you change your apparent location so Crunchyroll serves you a different regional library. Connect to a US server to unlock the largest available catalog. Our top recommendation is NordVPN — it offers fast streaming speeds, reliable server connections, and works consistently with Crunchyroll. Simply install NordVPN, connect to a US server, then open Crunchyroll as normal. Your account and subscription remain the same.

Steps to get started

  • Subscribe to NordVPN and install the app on your device
  • Select a United States server location
  • Open Crunchyroll and log into your account
  • Browse the expanded US library

Pricing

Crunchyroll pricing in South Korea is typically displayed in Korean Won (KRW). The Fan plan runs approximately ₩7,900/month, with Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tiers available at higher prices. Pricing can shift, so check Crunchyroll's website directly for the latest rates.

Our recommendation

If you're watching Crunchyroll in South Korea and sticking to current simulcasts like Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer, the local library covers you well. But if you want access to classic series or the full Funimation back-catalog, pairing your subscription with NordVPN and a US server is the easiest fix — you'll get significantly more content without changing your plan.
