2. Cast Crunchyroll from a Smartphone to LG TV

You can screencast to LG tv from your smartphone, tablet and other devices. To stream Crunchyroll from your smartphone to an LG TV, you can use a method called casting or screen mirroring. This method allows you to display what's on your phone's screen on your LG TV for a larger viewing experience. Now, let me show you how you can do it.

I'll break down these instructions into two separate sections, one for iPhone (using AirPlay) and the other for Android devices.

For iPhone/ios

First thing, obviously you need the Crunchyroll app on your iPhone/iPad. If you don't have the app, install it and sign up or log in to your account. Now follow these steps to watch anime on your LG TV.

  1. Turn on your LG TV.
  2. Ensure both your iPhone and LG TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. Open your iPhone/iPad's control center.
  4. Tap on the "Screen Mirroring" option.
  5. From the list of available devices, select your LG TV.
  6. You may need to enter a code that will appear on your TV screen.

Alternatively, you can directly open the Crunchyroll app on your iPhone and tap on the Cast icon to connect to your LG smart TV.

  3. Start playing your favorite anime.
  4. Locate and tap the cast icon within the app.
  5. Choose your LG TV from the list to cast your phone's screen to it.

3. Watch Crunchyroll anime on LG TV using a web Browser

Just like a smartphone, most LG TVs have a browser for surfing the web. If your LG TV doesn't have a browser, then you can check the LG webOS store and install one. In the browser, you can simply go to the Crunchyroll website, log into your account, and watch any anime you like directly on your LG TV without making any external adjustments or connections.

4. Watch Crunchyroll on LG TV using a streaming device

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! All you have to do is connect it to your LG TV, complete the setup, install the Crunchyroll app, and begin watching anime on your LG TV.

Here is a list of Crunchyroll-supported streaming devices

  • 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.

5. Watch Crunchyroll on LG TV using a gaming console

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.

4. From the list of available inputs, select your gaming console (it will appear as PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.).

5. Once you've chosen the console input, connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

6. Access the app store on your gaming console and install the Crunchyroll app.

7. Log in to your Crunchyroll account within the app, and now you can enjoy your favorite anime on your LG TV through the gaming console.

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. If you need any help let me know in the comment section and don't forget to share which anime you are currently watching or planning to watch. I am watching Solo Leveling as I write this guide.
