Crunchyroll allows users to control what type of anime content can be viewed on an account. If you are seeing restricted content warnings or certain shows are hidden, it means the content restriction settings are enabled. This guide explains how these settings work and how to adjust or remove them.
What Are Crunchyroll Content Restrictions?
Content restrictions are safety controls that limit access to:
- Mature anime
- Age-restricted episodes
- Shows with sensitive themes
These restrictions are usually enabled for:
- Kids or teen accounts
- Accounts linked to parental controls
- Users logged out of Crunchyroll
- Regions where certain content is blocked
Why You See Content Restricted on Crunchyroll
You may get a message like:
> “This content is restricted due to account settings.”
This generally happens because of:
1. Restricted Maturity Settings
Your account may have “Show mature content” turned off.
2. Logged-Out Browsing
Crunchyroll blocks mature content unless you’re logged in.
3. Parental Controls Enabled
A parent or admin may have locked your account.
4. Region Restrictions
Some anime titles are unavailable in your country.

Content restrictions cannot be changed without logging in.
2. Go to Account Settings
Navigate to:
Account → Mature Content Settings
3. Enable Mature Content
Turn ON the option:

How to Fix Region-Based Restrictions
If an anime is blocked due to region issues:
✔ Wait for Official Access
Licensing varies by country.
✔ Use Another Streaming Platform
Some titles stream on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon instead.

Final Thoughts
Crunchyroll’s content restriction settings help maintain age-appropriate viewing, but they can hide many shows if not set properly. Adjusting the maturity settings or switching to an adult profile usually fixes the issue.
