“Finally” shout Samsung TV owners as the major streaming service appears on screens

A STREAMING app used by millions of people has “finally” landed on Samsung TVs, giving owners access to more than 1,300 new shows and movies.

Many people assume that the TVs on the shelves today will come pre-installed with regular apps, but that's not always the case.

While not every TV displays every streaming app, companies generally do their best to listen to their customers' needs.

Now, following popular demand, Samsung TV owners in the US can now install the popular Crunchyroll app, which hosts one of the largest anime libraries in the world.

Samsung users in other countries will have access to the Crunchyroll app “by the end of the week,” according to Samsung.

“FINALLY,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another onlooker wrote: “Amazing, hope [it comes to] LG soon.”

The streaming platform has more than 120 million subscribers in 200 countries.

It is only available on Samsung Smart TVs released between 2017 and 2023.

Crunchyroll features critically acclaimed anime titles including My Hero Academia, JUJUTSU KAISEN, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Chainsaw Man, and Attack on Titan.

It also includes beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop and One Piece, which was recently adapted live by Netflix.

It's not just anime shows and movies that Samsung TV owners can access, but also Japanese music videos and concert specials.

“Anime is one of the fastest growing entertainment mediums in the world. We are excited to improve access to Crunchyroll for Samsung's Smart TV users. Samsung provides a seamless experience for both dedicated anime fans and anime curious, making it easy for them to sign and access their favorite anime directly on their TV screens,” said Kaliel Roberts, Chief Product Officer at Crunchyroll in a statement.

You can watch Crunchyroll for free with ad-supported streaming.
