Anime Fans - gather up!

It's been a year since the last Crunchyroll Premium post was made. That deal no longer exists because Crunchyroll decided to Reduce Monthly Prices in Nearly 100 Countries & Territories while ignoring our beloved country (Argentina ofc!). Ironically, Argentina has tripled in price, from ARS $125/month to ARS $379/month and ARS $1250/year to ARS $3799/year (Mega Fan subscription). Since Argentinian rates have been crashing against AUD, the price increase is more like double after converting to AUD. But we're OzBargainers! Double the price? Hell no.

Because Crunchyroll have a love-hate relationship with OzBargain, they decided to significantly reduce the prices of India and Pakistan, who received the biggest discounts of all countries. With today's currency conversions, the price remains very similar to that in last year's deal. Crunchyroll's biggest highlight? …

In India, Mega Fan will change from 9.99 USD to 99 Indian Rupees (87.5% decrease)

However, I had to dig deeper. The biggest price decrease I found was in Pakistan, where Mega Fan changed from 9.99 USD to PKR 250 for Pakistan. That's 88.5% off!

Anyways, the discount between India and Pakistan is quite small, so decide what you want to do…

Luckily, signing up to Crunchyroll is extremely easy and should not take more than a few minutes of your time (I did it in within 2 mins, go figure).

Note

Crunchyroll decided to cancel the majority of subscriptions back last year after being posted on OzBargain, and I'm not sure if refunds were even issued. As a result, I suggest going with the monthly plan to be a little safe, but you do have to sacrifice two months

Available Plans

For reference, Australian prices are $13.99 for Mega Fan (monthly) and $139.99 for Mega Fan (annually)

Pakistan

Plan Local Pricing PKR (AUD) Australian Pricing Savings (%)
Fan (Monthly) PKR 200 (~A$1.44) A$10.99 ~A$9.55 (86.90%)
Mega Fan (Monthly) PKR 250 (~A$1.80) A$13.99 ~A$12.19 (87.13%)
Mega Fan (Annual) PKR 2,500 (~A$17.95) A$139.99 ~A$122.04 (87.18%)

India

Plan Local Pricing PKR (AUD) Australian Pricing Savings (%)
Fan (Monthly) INR ₹79 (~A$1.51) A$10.99 ~A$9.48 (86.26%)
Mega Fan (Monthly) INR ₹99 (~A$1.90) A$13.99 ~A$12.09 (86.42%)
Mega Fan (Annual) INR ₹999 (~A$19.14) A$139.99 ~A$120.85 (86.33%)

Instructions

  1. Create a Crunchyroll account or log in to an existing expired account: https://www.crunchyroll.com/welcome/login

  2. Connect a VPN to a server in Pakistan

  3. Go to https://www.crunchyroll.com/welcome and click "view premium plans" OR scroll down to see premium plans. Choose your desired plan and click "skip free trial" (you must skip the trial)

    Possible Problem: You do not see Pakistan prices (PKR)
    Possible Solution: Refresh your browser and VPN, or change your VPN completely

  4. Proceed through payment, enter your credit/debit card and enter a random Pakistan postcode (get a random postcode one here). Crunchyroll does not require an address for sign-up

    All credit/debit cards should work, don't use PayPal

    Possible Problem: You got an "Unauthorised Request" error
    Possible Solution: Add your card into your profile settings then go back to step 3

  5. You’re done! Turn off your VPN and enjoy your subscription :)

    Hi OP. I’m using NordVPN but it seems doesn’t work for Netflix. Tried Turkey as suggested but the app always connect to Australian contents.

    But I’ll try your trick for Crunchyroll. Thx

    • I Smell Pennies on 25/10/2022 - 11:55

      Netflix is constantly cracking down on VPN servers, and VPN companies are always changing/updating their servers. Might work one day, maybe not the next. A few months back I used NordVPN to watch some American shows and it worked fine

      If you're asking about signing up, I used Express VPN

    • Fybre on 25/10/2022 - 12:16

    Last time I did the argentina crunchyroll https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/655079, it got removed less than a week on my account. I wouldn't bother tbh.

      I've been using it ever since that deal and no issues on my end personally. Even auto renewed recently for the $14-odd.

    • I Smell Pennies on 25/10/2022 - 12:08

      It got removed due to them finding out and violating T&Cs. They sent OzB a takedown notice which mods declined. In case they do remove the subs off your account, save this post for a week and then sign up :)

  • J6 on 25/10/2022 - 12:12

    • Deviant88 on 25/10/2022 - 12:51

      I used Hola VPN - an extension for both Chrome and Edge browser.
      Worked fine.

      Good luck.

      • michael9865 on 25/10/2022 - 19:42

        how do you connect to Pak through Hola, can't see it, just says US

        • Deviant88 on 25/10/2022 - 22:50

          Sorry for the late reply, there should be an arrow that will make all the available countries appear. Might be too the right hand side of the US flag.

    For those saying about them cancelling OzBargain accounts, just plug the URL in manually so they don't know where you came from.

    • capslock janitor on 25/10/2022 - 13:53

      Wym plug URL manually and how does it work stopping them?

      • BradH13 on 25/10/2022 - 13:57
        +4

        Every click through from OzBargain is tracked by the website you're going to. They all know where you come from.

        Putting the URL in manually doesn't put you in the same pool as those signing up via this method directly from OzBargain.

        If you click through from here; it's easier for them to find out those who are 'abusing' this method and cancel those accounts.

        • I Smell Pennies on 25/10/2022 - 16:00

          That’s if you click through from OzBargain through the “Go to deal” button. The links in the Instructions section isn’t affiliated to OzB.

          Am I wrong? Please correct me if I am

      What’s the cheapest seedbox? Technically freeleeching isn’t free and I need to seed back. If I’m going to seed I can’t leave my computer running 24/7 and potentially burn the house down and what not as my laptops are old by todays standards mbp2012+dell2014 no budget for upgrade bc car repayments etc. I mainly use a ipad. Genuine question.

        I don't use a seedbox, and never looked into them. I setup my own server on a UPS that runs 24/7. If you don't want to set one up, then just use nyaa where you don't need to seed.

      Update after having the same issue: I signed up for a Revolut card and transferred funds to the virtual card from my Commbank card. Also, I made a new Crunchyroll account and went on private browser after constantly receiving “Unauthorised request” on both the Commbank and virtual card. It ended up passing through, I suspect that “unauthorised request” errors occur when theres too many failed attempts.

        • FrugalFindsDownUnder on 25/10/2022 - 21:28

          This is from the crunchyroll forum:

          “ The "unauthorized request" message simply means that a subscription has been unsuccessfully attempted multiple times in a short amount of time, leading to an automatic blocking of the card by our system. You can reach out to our customer service and have free trial eligibility reset by one of our agents. After that you either wait out the block duration, or use a different payment method, for example PayPal, or a different card to subscribe.”

          I read this and so made another Crunchyroll account with my alt gmail and didn’t get the error again and used a private browser as well.

        Free users can watch 1080p. But free accounts are going to have very limited viewing options only "select" shows on some sort of a rotation. It works out to be approx 2000 episodes at any given time. No idea how often a rotation will occur and some titles wont ever be put into the rotation.
        Even the short cute cat shows like Poyopoyo and Bananya are now behind premium only. I still haven't finished watching those. :(
