Crunchyroll is the largest dedicated anime and manga streaming service in the UK, owned by Sony. The catalogue includes children's titles like Pokemon and Bluey-equivalent slice-of-life shows, family-friendly action series, and mature-rated titles intended for adult viewers. Mature titles carry an in-app tag and are gated behind the profile's stated age. The account holder must be at least 16 in many regions; below that requires parental consent. The crucial setting is the profile age - within one account, an adult can set up a profile for a younger child, and that profile is then filtered. A large third-party Discord community exists around individual series and the platform; Crunchyroll does not moderate those servers.
Children watch series they already know from school playgrounds and YouTube - Pokemon, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia - and progress to longer-form titles as they grow older. Many keep a watchlist, follow simulcasts of currently-airing seasons, and read the manga adaptations through the linked Crunchyroll Manga catalogue. Older children and teenagers join fan Discord servers to discuss episodes the day they release. A growing subset use the platform as the gateway to the wider anime community on TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram, which can quickly surface fan-art and edit content well outside the BBFC age rating of the original series.
Profile Age
ตำแหน่ง: Account -> Profiles -> Edit -> Date of Birth
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Set to your child's real age
Profiles set to a younger age automatically hide titles tagged as mature. This is the single most important Crunchyroll setting.
Mature Content Filter
ตำแหน่ง: Account -> Parental Controls -> Mature Content
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Off for under-16 profiles
Hides mature-tagged titles from the catalogue, search, and the recommendations row entirely.
Profile PIN
ตำแหน่ง: Account -> Profiles -> Edit -> Profile PIN
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Set a PIN on the adult profile
Stops a child switching from their own filtered profile to an unfiltered adult profile on the same account.
Comments
ตำแหน่ง: Title page -> Comments toggle
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Hidden
Crunchyroll comments under episodes are not heavily moderated. Hiding them avoids spoilers, fan-fiction prompts, and arguments.

ตำแหน่ง: Account -> Subscription
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Reviewed monthly
Crunchyroll has a Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan tier. Make sure the chosen tier matches the family budget and is renewing on a card you control.
