Are you an ardent fan of Anime content? Then, you don’t need an introduction to the Crunchyroll app, which is the storehouse of famous on-demand anime movies and series of various genres. This freemium platform is compatible with a variety of devices, including Hisense TVs. It has been working on Hisense’s Google, Android, Fire, and Roku OS models for a long time. Recently, Crunchyroll has extended its compatibility to Hisense VIDAA TV operating on the VIDAA U6 OS.

FAQ
You subscribe to any three-tier plans of Crunchyroll (starting at $7.99/month) & enjoy exclusive features and ad-free streaming on Hisense TV.
Check your TV version first since the Crunchyroll app will not work on Hisense TVs with VIDAA U4 & U5 OS. If yours is a compatible model, restart the Hisense TV and power cycle it once.
