Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll's live channel in Canada is essentially a curated stream of kid-friendly anime, think Naruto, My Hero Academia, and Pokémon, running in a loop. Unlike the on-demand library where you pick episodes, this is a lean-back experience. The programming skews shonen-heavy, which means action over slice-of-life. Dubs dominate the daytime block, which matters for younger viewers who can't read subtitles yet. The schedule repeats after about 12 hours, so you'll catch the same episodes twice if you leave it on all day. That's either comforting or repetitive. For families, it's a reliable option, no ad breaks interrupting the flow. But don't expect deep curation; it's a playlist, not a thoughtfully timed lineup. If you want to watch Crunchyroll online for background noise or easy viewing, this channel does the job. Kids tv Canada has few dedicated anime channels, so this fills a gap. Just know you're getting a rotation of hits, not deep cuts.
