To download shows on Crunchyroll for offline viewing, you need a paid Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan subscription and the official mobile or Nintendo Switch app. The basic Fan plan does not include the ability to download shows on Crunchyroll, so upgrading is the first step.
What You Need to Download Shows on Crunchyroll
Offline viewing is a premium feature available only to Crunchyroll Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan subscribers. The basic Fan plan does not include offline viewing capabilities, so you must be on one of these two higher tiers to save episodes to your device. Downloads are supported on the official Crunchyroll mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, and on the Nintendo Switch. Official Crunchyroll downloads are not available directly on PC or Mac through a browser or desktop application, so you will need a supported phone, tablet, or the Switch to watch offline. If you're looking for a completely free way to stream instead, you can find KissAnime alternatives to watch anime for free without a subscription. Once you have your device ready, you can finally watch attack on titan in the proper chronological order without spoilers.
Step 1: Subscribe to Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan
Before you can save any episodes, you must upgrade your account to the correct subscription tier. Visit the Crunchyroll website and log in. Navigate to the premium plans page and select either the Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan option. Complete the payment process to activate your subscription. Once your account is upgraded, the download feature will be unlocked across all supported devices.
Step 2: Install the Crunchyroll Mobile or Switch App
With your upgraded account ready, install the Crunchyroll app on your device. On an iPhone or iPad, open the iOS App Store and search for "Crunchyroll." On an Android phone or tablet, use the Google Play Store. On the Nintendo Switch, open the Nintendo eShop and search for the app. After installation, open the app and log in using the email and password associated with your Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan account.
Step 3: Download an Episode to Your Device
Once logged in, browse the library and find the show you want to save. Open the show's page and select the specific episode you wish to download. On a mobile device, tap the "Download" icon (a downward arrow) next to the episode. You can then select the video quality you prefer before the download begins. On Nintendo Switch, select the episode, press the X button, and choose "Download Episode." Ensure your device has enough free storage space for the file before starting the download.
How to Find and Watch Your Downloaded Shows
After the download completes, you can access your offline content directly within the app. On mobile devices, navigate to "My Lists" and then select "Downloads" to see all saved episodes. On Nintendo Switch, go to the "App Menu" and choose "Downloads." Tap or select any episode to play it without an internet connection. Keep in mind that downloaded content may have an expiration date; you may need to refresh the download within the app before that date to continue watching offline.
