In this guide, I’ll show to install the VRV app on FireStick. You can apply the instructions on any Fire TV supported device, like Amazon Fire TV 3rd Gen, Fire TV Stick 4K, etc. 

What Is VRV?

Owned by Crunchyroll, VRV is an over-the-top streaming service known for anime. Launched in November 2016, VRV is run by the joint venture of Sony Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment Japan’s Aniplex.

VRV is home to your favorite anime channels. This service provides a carefully selected library of popular content in anime, animation, video games, comics, science fiction, fantasy, and tech.

VRV is available on Android, iOS, Xbox, PlayStation, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV. 

VRV lets you browse content from popular channels like Crunchyroll, Mondo, VRV Select, etc. VRV offers both free and paid membership. The premium subscription provides an ad-free experience and access to a more extensive anime library.

This service is now added to our collection of top and featured apps for Amazon FireStick.

Unfortunately, VRV is presently available only in the United States. However, you can unlock it in other countries with ExpressVPN.

This guide contains all you need to know about VRV on FireStick. I’ll cover everything in the piece, from installation to using the app, subscribing to its premium plan, and more. So without further ado, let’s get started.

How to Subscribe to VRV

There are over 20,000 hours of free videos available on VRV. To access it, you need to create a free VRV account.

However, if you want maximum experience, you would like to buy the premium plan. This plan costs $9.99 per month with up to six channels based on your geo-location and unlimited streams per household.

And here’s how you can subscribe to VRV Premium with a 30-day free trial:

First, go to the VRV official website. Next, click the Account logo icon in the top right of your screen.

Next, select CREATE ACCOUNT from the drop-down menu. You may also click Try Free.

CREATE ACCOUNT window will appear on your screen. Enter your valid Email Address and set a Password.

Once done, click on the yellow CREATE ACCOUNT button. Then wait for VRV to create your account.

After a few seconds, you’re redirected to set a username for your account. By default, VRV will give you a random username. However, you can also change it to a random one by clicking the RANDOMIZE NAME button. Furthermore, you can set a custom one too. Just remove the current username, enter a new one in the input box, and click on the yellow OK, DONE button.

Your VRV account has been created! Now, you can continue with the free option or try & purchase VRV Premium. To do that, click on the yellow 30-DAY FREE TRIAL button. Then, wait for the website to prepare your account for the subscription.

Next, VRV will present the payment options and the plan’s details. As I have a card, I select the yellow PAY WITH CARD button. If you have PayPal, click the blue Pay with PayPal button and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase.

You’ll be asked to enter your card details like Card Number, Exp Date, CVV, and Postal Code. Enter the details and click on the yellow SAVE CARD button. Then, wait for VRV to verify and add your card details.

Next, the VRV Premium subscription window will appear. First, take note of the subscription and payment details. Then click on the yellow GO PREMIUM button. Finally, wait for VRV to process and confirm your purchase.

Finally, you’ll receive a congratulatory window for achieving VRV Premium. Click on the yellow LET’S GO button to acknowledge it. Then, another pop-up will appear; click on the X button to close it.

In the end, you’ll land on the home screen of VRV Premium. Congratulations! You have subscribed to the service.

How to Stream on FireStick with a VPN

Your internet provider and many websites/apps can see your IP address and some details about your connection. Using a VPN encrypts your traffic and masks your IP address, which helps protect your online privacy.

I recommend ExpressVPN. It’s a reputable VPN with strong encryption and fast connections, and it’s straightforward to install on Fire TV/FireStick and other devices.

Next, I’ll show you how to set up and use ExpressVPN on your Fire TV/Stick. 

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it for free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created when you purchased the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

How to Use VRV Outside of the US

People outside the US will face issues using the VRV app on their FireStick. That’s because the service is only available in the United States.

To use VRV outside the US, you’ll need a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN. By using a VPN, connect to any US server. And after that, open VRV for an optimum anime-watching experience.
