Streaming devices like Roku TV stick, Google TV, Fire TV stick, and others support the Crunchyroll app. If you already have any of the streaming devices that support Crunchyroll, that's awesome!

  • Any android device
  • GoogleTV devices
  • Roku TV stick and box
  • Amazon Fire TV stick and box.

If you don't already own a streaming device, you have the option to purchase a Roku streaming stick or an Amazon Firestick for approximately $40.

If you own a gaming console like PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, you can easily watch Crunchyroll on your LG TV using the gaming console. Most gaming consoles support the Crunchyroll app. You just need to connect your console to the LG Smart TV.

Crunchyroll-ready gaming consoles:

  • PlayStation 5
  • PlayStation 4
  • Nintendo Switch
  • XBOX

Here is how to connect a gaming console to LG TV using HDMI:

1. Use an HDMI cord and plug one end into your TV's HDMI port and the other into the console.

2. Power on both your TV and gaming console.

3. Grab your LG TV remote and press the INPUT button.

6. How to watch Crunchyroll on LG TV using an HDMI cable

If your LG TV doesn't support Airplay or wireless casting, you can still watch Crunchyroll on it using a simple method. This method is essentially screen mirroring, but instead of using Wi-Fi, you'll use an HDMI cable. The advantage here is that your TV doesn't need an internet connection for this to work.

Here's what you need to do:

Step 1. Ensure that HDMI-CEC is enabled on your LG TV. This setting is essential for this method to work.

Depending on your smartphone type, use the following cable:

For iPhones, use an iPhone to HDMI cable.
For Android phones, use a USB-C to HDMI cable.

Step 2. Connect your phone to the TV using the HDMI cable.

Step 3. Open the Crunchyroll app on your smartphone.

Step 4. Choose your favorite anime to watch, and it will be displayed on your LG Smart TV screen.

Now you can enjoy Crunchyroll anime on your LG TV, even if it doesn't support wireless casting or Airplay.

Conclusion

Even though now Crunchyroll has an official app for LG smart tv, as a new app it has some bugs and issues. Many users are facing problems like buffering, and navigation issues.

Anyways, we still have many options to watch Crunchyroll on LG TV. I hope you will be able to follow the steps and enjoy anime on your LG TV.
