There are two screenshots showing the user interface on the system.
Offline viewing will be supported in the Switch version of the Crunchyroll app. On it and other devices, Mega or Ultimate Fan subscribers can download the anime to watch offline.
This is the second anime streaming app available on the console. Back in December 2020, a Funimation app appeared on the Nintendo Switch. (Sony own both services.) People can also download apps for both Hulu and YouTube on the console.
Crunchyroll is immediately available on Nintendo Switch. The one-month plan is $7.99 for the Fan option, $9.99 for the Mega Fan, and $14.99 for the Ultimate Fan subscription.
