For anime fans in Europe, Wakanim is a great option, with roughly 400 shows dubbed in English, German, French, and more. A subsidiary of Funimation, Wakanim’s content will also be moved to Crunchyroll in subsequent months.

VRV

VRV (pronounced “verve”) is an over-the-top niche streaming platform based in the U.S. that carries a selection of dubbed and subbed anime and other content. Also owned by Sony, VRV’s library will be made available on Crunchyroll in the coming months.

HIDIVE logo.
HIDIVE

HIDIVE is an anime-exclusive streaming service, with a modest but well-curated library that offers a growing collection of simulcasts. Unlike other streamers, there's also the option to switch between the censored and uncensored versions of its shows.

RetroCrush logo.
RetroCrush

Fans of classic anime will love RetroCrush. Available exclusively in the U.S. and Canada, RetroCrush proudly touts itself as a vintage anime streamer that’s “dedicated to the Golden Age of anime.” Available series include the original Astro Boy and Lupin The Third.

Tubi logo.
Tubi

Streaming service Tubi doesn’t specialize in anime, but what it lacks in range, it more than makes up for in quality. Keen watchers can enjoy iconic shows such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Bleach, Death Note, and the Akira movie. Best of all, Tubi is ad-supported and 100% free to watch!

Perfect. Unlike other VPNs that took forever to stream anything, with ExpressVPN I never notice a difference at all. It takes a lot to make me happy but this did it for me.

Have been using this service for two years now... it's infallible. Works with every app and streaming service. Uptime is good, no stuttering or delay on streams.

How to stream on your TV with ExpressVPN

Ways to stream ExpressVPN on your TV

Using ExpressVPN means secure streaming in blazing-fast HD! Here are four ways to stream with a VPN:

  • Download the app to a smart TV. If you have a TV that can install the ExpressVPN app directly, such as Amazon Fire TV or Android TV, just search for the app and install!

  • Connect via HDMI cable. Simply run an HDMI cable from another device with ExpressVPN installed to your TV. Don’t have an HDMI cable handy? Try mirroring or casting instead.

  • Use MediaStreamer. Though MediaStreamer doesn’t offer the privacy protection of a VPN, it works with devices like Apple TV and gaming consoles that normally can’t install a VPN.

  • Use a VPN-enabled router. With ExpressVPN installed on your router, every device in your home—including your smart TV—can enjoy all the benefits of a VPN. This even covers devices that can’t install a VPN directly.

Besides smart TVs, ExpressVPN also works with a wide range of devices—and you can connect up to 5 at the same time with a single subscription!

Servers all over the world

ExpressVPN users can connect to server locations in 94 countries and counting, including:
