Reading Time: 3 minutesFans of animation and anime, your streaming-based prayers have been answered. That’s because of a relatively new streaming platform that hasn’t gained as much attention as it deserves. VRV (pronounced “verve”) focuses primarily on strengthening its already formidable library of everything from new anime to classic animation content, and it’s already available on a surprising amount of platforms already.
Currently, you can try out the service free for 30 days to see if it’s right for you.
How Much is VRV?

VRV is available in both free and premium, ad-free paid variations. With VRV’s free model, no payment information is needed — all you have to do is sign up for a free account. However, a significant amount of VRV’s content is only available to paid subscribers.
Luckily for viewers, VRV offers a full 30-day free trial of its premium account in order to truly get a feel for what a value the service is. After the first free month, the VRV Premium plan costs $9.99 per month, and you may cancel at any time during or after your free trial period. Not only does the Premium plan unlock VRV’s entire content library for on-demand streaming, it’s 100% ad-free.

What’s on VRV?

VRV is unique in that its content offerings consist of a gigantic collection of pre-established libraries. VRV boasts the entire library of classic Boomerang! cartoons, including The Flintstones and The Jetsons, as well as Cartoon Hangover, a platform for original indie cartoons. Its centerpiece, however, is providing Crunchyroll, by far the most comprehensive library of new and classic anime shows including Naruto and One Piece.
But that’s not even close to all of it — VRV also offers Nicksplat, a service offering throwback vintage Nickelodeon shows like Hey Arnold! and Ren & Stimpy, as well as HIDIVE, an anime live-streaming platform that offers simulcasts, dubs, exclusives and other live anime events.
Plus, with channels like Mondo, dedicated to subversive and boundary-pushing animated content, the sheer breadth, variety, originality and creativity available from VRV’s library will never run dry. Also on VRV is Rooster Teeth, the internet media collective behind internet classics like Red vs. Blue, Death Battle! and RWBY.
VRV can confidently say it’s the only streaming platform to provide Sword Art Online, Red vs. Blue, Rocket Power and The Flintstones all under one umbrella service. For die-hard anime and animation fans, you’ll find no more focused or dedicated streaming services than VRV.
