MF Ghost plot
The current season of MF Ghost can be enjoyed on Crunchyroll. Set in the year 202X, the plot is more futuristic than Initial D. It follows Kanata Katagiri as he returns from Britain to Japan for the MFG (a new racing circuit held on Japanese motorways) – and to find his father. With self-driving electric vehicles rendering most of the traditional fossil fuel powered cars obsolete, can Katagiri win the title and find the answers he seeks? “Buckle up and push it to the limit!”

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023
Crunchyroll is the world’s best service for streaming anime, whether it’s One Piece, Attack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to Private Internet Access, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.
If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple:
- Sign up for Private Internet Access, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world
- Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Private Internet Access allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica
- Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched
Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference; for example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows.
You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan, or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
