Ready to dive into commonly asked questions about the Crunchyroll app on Nintendo Switch™? Proceed below, anime fan:
How can I use the download feature of the Crunchyroll application?
If you are one of our Mega Fan or Ultimate Fan premium members, you are able to enjoy watching offline. You have the ability to log into your Crunchyroll account in the application, select a video, and choose to download the episode to your device for viewing, even without internet connection! Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan members also have the additional ability to download entire seasons to a Nintendo Switch™ to easily take multiple episodes on the go.
In which countries is the Crunchyroll application for Nintendo Switch available?
The Crunchyroll application for Nintendo Switch™ is available to download from the Nintendo eShop storefronts in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. The app can be used in any other 200+ countries where Crunchyroll as a service is available. More anime for all!
Is there any limit to how many downloading videos can be added to my Nintendo Switch™ at any given time?
Great news: there is no limit to the number of videos that can be downloaded at any given time! Just keep in mind that your limit will be dependent on how much free space is available on your microSD™ card or your internal storage.
Do I need a microSD™ card to use downloads for the Crunchyroll app?
Downloads can use large amounts of data, so we are strongly recommending that users utilize and install a microSD™ card to allow content to be downloaded to it. If your device does not have a microSD™ card installed, content will be downloaded directly to your device’s internal storage. If there is not enough space available for downloading, you will see an error message when attempting to download the content.
Can I restrict access to the Crunchyroll app?
Certainly! Restricting access to the Crunchyroll app is easy, just utilize your Parental Controls. To do so, set the Restriction Level to Child or Pre-Teen. If using Custom Settings, select Games rated for ages 13+ or below.

Can I watch mature content in the Crunchyroll app?
By default, mature content playback is restricted in the Crunchyroll app. To allow mature content, an authenticated user account with the mature content playback setting turned on can enable it through the Crunchyroll website. Here’s how:
- Go to
Settings.
- Then, go to Preferences.
- Enable the Mature Video Content.
Can I stream content while downloading content?
If you begin playing a video while downloading content, the downloading to your Nintendo Switch™ will be paused, meaning you are unable to do both at the same time. However, once you stop playing a video, the application will automatically resume downloading as long as the software is open.
Can I save downloaded content to both a microSD™ card and my Nintendo Switch™ internal storage?
You are only able to save content to either a microSD™ card (if inserted) or to your device’s internal storage (if no microSD™ card is used.)
Can I choose whether downloaded content is saved to my microSD™ card or to my device’s internal storage?
The choice is preset: The application will automatically prioritize using any inserted microSD™ card for downloading storage purposes, and will fall back to the device’s internal storage if no microSD™ card is present.
What happens if my Nintendo Switch™ application is closed or goes to sleep before I have downloaded all my content?
If the application is closed or suspended, the application will automatically pause any downloading content. Once the application is opened again and can connect to the Internet, downloading will resume.
How can I prevent my Nintendo Switch™ from auto-dimming the screen or putting itself to sleep when watching video content?
You are able to adjust your Nintendo Switch™ Sleep Mode settings to set the Auto-Sleep duration to a value that allows you to watch your desired content without interruption. Please refer to Nintendo Support for adjusting your Sleep Mode settings for your version of Nintendo Switch™.
