The visual and narrative phenomenon that is Attack on Titan has amassed millions of fans worldwide since the anime first aired in April 2013. Anime fans in Canada are thankfully not left out of the loop when it comes to streaming options for Attack on Titan and many other anime. There are three great options to watch Attack on Titan in Canada: Funimation, StackTV (as an Amazon Prime Video Channel), and Crunchyroll.
Let’s explore these three options and which might be the best for Canadian anime fans.
Watch ‘Attack on Titan’ on Funimation
Currently owned by Sony, Funimation is the single-largest anime streaming service available in Canada. While that title would have previously gone to Crunchyroll, Funimation semi-recently purchased Crunchyroll. Although the two services are currently separate and still have some unique catalogs, their merger is occurring slowly, with a full merger likely to happen within the next year or two.
Funimation Plans and Pricing
Funimation has several pricing tiers available, with some interesting benefits to offer on the higher end of the spectrum.
- Free account: CDN$ 0/month, includes ads
- Premium: CDN$ 5.99/month, ad-free
- Premium Plus: CDN$ 7.99/month, ad-free and bonus features
- Premium Plus Ultra: CDN$ 99.99/year, ad-free, bonus features, and an annual gift
If you’re OK with advertisements and don’t mind having limited features, the free account is a perfect entry point. Funimation couches the free tier on the bottom of the sign-up page, so make sure you scroll all the way down to find it.
For paid subscriptions, the features list is pretty extensive. We’ll talk more about the features in the next section. However, all premium accounts are ad-free, and all premium accounts are available with a free 7-day trial.

Funimation Features
it’s rare for a streaming service’s features to extend beyond just simultaneous streaming offline viewing. However, Funimation and anime streaming services, in general, provide a bit more. For Funimation, in particular, the features you get depend on your subscription tier.
All subscriptions
All Funimation subscriptions come with the following features:
- Access new season subs and dubs
- Audio preferences for English, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Korean (availability of different languages in dubs varies)
- Casting to Apple TV or Chromecast
- Adding and removing shows to a personal queue
- Auto-play videos
- Data saver with WiFi only mode
- Adult content filter
- On/off for closed captioning
You can access many of these features from the Settings section of the Funimation app. Alongside this, premium accounts get additional features.
Premium subscription
With the $5.99/month Premium subscription level, Funimation offers ad-free viewing on all content, access to both subs and dubs, and offers simultaneous streaming on up to 2 devices.
Premium Plus subscription
The $7.99/month Premium Plus subscription level provides a much longer list. Not only does Funimation offer the ad-free experience and access to subs and dubs, it adds half a dozen more bonuses. This tier also includes:
- 5 simultaneous streams per account
- Downloading for offline viewing
- Exclusive members-only events
- Early access to Funimation Shop sales
- Free shipping on orders of $20 or more from the Funimation Shop
- Members-only offers
Premium Plus Ultra
Borrowing its name from My Hero Academia, the $99.99/year Premium Plus Ultra subscription has all of the benefits of the Premium Plus subscription, and adds in an “annual anniversary gift”. Funimation doesn’t like to talk much about what that gift is, and the gift supposedly changes every year. Social media reports from 2020 appear to indicate that the gift last year was a scarf.
Funimation Supported Devices
Watch Attack on Titan in Canada through Funimation using any of the following devices:
- Apple TV
- iOS devices
- Android devices
- Android TV
- Amazon Fire TV
- Amazon Kindle Fire
- Roku
- Xbox One
- PlayStation 4
- Chromecast
- Samsung smart TVs
- LG smart TVs
You can also stream on desktop computers with most modern web browsers, although Funimation’s web browser interface leaves much to be desired.
Watch ‘Attack on Titan’ on StackTV
If you have an Amazon Prime Video subscription, StackTV might be one of the best channels available for Attack on Titan fans in Canada. StackTV is a combination streaming service available through Amazon Prime Video channels that includes content from on-demand content from Adult Swim (which offers Attack on Titan in Canada). StackTV also carries content from GTV Canada, Food Network Canada, Slice, Global, HISTORY®, W Network, Showcase, National Geographic, Teletoon, Treehouse, and YTV.
StackTV Plans and Pricing
As with most Amazon Prime Video channels, StackTV is available with just one subscription option. Sign up for a 30-day free trial, then get StackTV for CDN$ 12.99 per month afterward.
Note that you can only get StackTV if you have an Amazon Prime Video subscription. Amazon Prime Video is CDN$ 7.99 per month with a 7-day free trial for subscribers in most parts of Canada. (If you’re in Quebec, Prime Video has no free trial and instead comes with 2 months free).
StackTV Features
Because StackTV is an Amazon Prime Video channel, it doesn’t have a set of features that are distinct from Amazon Prime Video. As such, we recommend you check out our extended Amazon Prime TV review for more details on what features are available with Amazon Prime Video and its add-on channels.
StackTV Supported Devices
As with the StackTV features, the supported devices you can use to watch StackTV content all depend on Amazon Prime Video. You can stream Amazon Prime Video and its add-on channels, including StackTV, on the following devices:
- Amazon Fire TV
- iOS devices
- Android devices
- Samsung smart TVs
- Google Chromecast
- Some Blu-Ray devices
Amazon Fire TV and StackTV can also be streamed through a modern web browser on Windows and Mac computers.
Watch ‘Attack on Titan’ with Crunchyroll
Outside of Funimation, few legal anime streaming services can rival Crunchyroll. The sub-focused anime streaming service has a massive user base and amazing respect within the anime community. It was one of the first services to give anime fans in Canada legit access to some of the most popular anime series coming out of Japan, including Attack on Titan. So of course, we highly recommend you consider checking out Crunchyroll to watch Attack on Titan in Canada, with some limitations (which we’ll mention just below).
Crunchyroll Plans and Pricing
Because Sony (Funimation) owns Crunchyroll, there’s no surprise here that the pricing tiers look exactly the same. The only difference is the subscription tier names.
- Free account: $0/month, includes ads
- Fan: CDN$ 7.99/month, ad-free
- Mega Fan (1-Month): CDN$ 9.99/month, ad-free, and bonus features
- Mega Fan (12-Month): CDN$ 99.99/year, ad-free, bonus features, subscription discount
Similar to Funimation, each subscription tier comes with additional features that increase the viewing experience. You may also note, however, that Crunchyroll is more expensive than Funimation with the exception of the annual subscription.
Crunchyroll Features
All Crunchyroll subscribers, regardless of their account tier, will get a minimum set of features available through the app. These include:
- Saving shows to lists
- Adjusting subtitle language (where available) to one of 10 different languages
- Adult content filter
- Data saver
The above are all available with the free tier. Free subscribers also need to wait longer to access newly-released shows, resulting in a smaller available library of content.
Fan subscription
If you subscribe to the Fan tier, Crunchyroll boosts your features by including all of the following:
- No advertisements
- Unlimited anime library access
- New episodes 1 hour after Japan release
- Access to digital Manga (only in English)
- Stream on up to 1 device at a time
Mega Fan subscription
Both the monthly and annual Mega Fan subscription tiers include everything available through the Fan tier. However, with Mega Fan, you get 4 simultaneous streams per account and offline viewing (digital downloads) for most content in the library.
Crunchyroll Device Support
Crunchyroll has apps for almost any device you might want to use, including many devices that aren’t supported by Amazon Prime Video or Funimation. Stream Attack on Titan in Canada using Crunchyroll’s following device list:
- Wii U
- Chromecast
- Xbox 360
- Xbox One
- PlayStation 3
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation Vita
- iOS devices
- Android devices
- Windows phones
- Apple TV
- Roku
- Amazon Fire TV
Crunchyroll also works on most modern web browsers for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
Crunchyroll’s Future Is Uncertain
Funimation (e.g., Sony) recently purchased Crunchyroll. The two streaming services are still separate, but it’s unlikely that Sony will keep them separate forever. At some point, Sony will merge the two services. It’s quite likely that that merger will result in Crunchyroll’s brand disappearing and being absorbed into Funimation.
These two services are still separate and unique, with Crunchyroll still heavily invested in subs over dubs. But Crunchyroll content is starting to become available on Funimation, so you may want to bookmark Funimation and sign up at some point in the future.
Is the ‘Attack on Titan’ Anime Series Over?
As long as you’re reading this before the Winter 2021-2022 season, the answer is “no, not yet!”. Attack on Titan Season 4 (the Final Season) will round off at the end of this year. The completed anime series comes after the manga series also finished this year. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait years to see how the Attack on Titan anime ends.
