crunchyroll

Considering buying either the Steam Deck or lenovo legion go, which one is the easiest to get crunchyroll on? We are going to buy a motorhome and then I really want to watch anime. Have a mobile but prefer to watch anime on a bigger screen.

It honestly depends, If you get a steam deck, it opens the option for the OLED version, which will (arguably) look nicer, it will probably mean that you have to invest more time into figuring out how to run it on Linux (i've never used crunchyroll, so idk if there's a browser version, feel free to enlighten me.) but i do believe it's possible based off google searches...BUT;
The Legion go has a switch styled gamepad that can be removed just for the tablet, has a slightly larger screen, AND runs windows out the get-go. But it won't be OLED and will cost more.

I'd personally get the Legion Go just for the sake of convenience if you have the money, as just using the tablet part of it would make for a more comfortable viewing experience, but it will probably cost more and you won't get any fancy OLED stuff.

I have money to buy Legion go and I might buy Legion go. Since it looks very fancy and I'm more used to Windows than linux.

Would be waste of money if you are buying a steam deck or legion go just for crunchyroll.

This too, an android tablet could suffice.

Crunchyroll is a website, so you'd be able to access it regardless of whether you're using a Steam Deck (Linux) or Legion Go (Windows).

To be honest an Android gaming handheld could be a compelling pick depending on your needs.

If you're wanting PC gaming then yeah, obviously Deck or a Windows handheld. If you're just wanting good battery life, good emulation performance, and a more all-round multimedia device, something like the Odin 2 could do you well. It beats out the Deck on battery, can emulate everything that's available on Android, and has easier to use apps for things like Crunchyroll that'll let you download anime on the go. That last point could be valuable given you'll be in a motorhome. There's also a dock you can buy with it that can house an SSD so you could keep films and things on it, and pair it with a HDMI projector or something.

I'm not going to buy it just for crunchyroll, I'm going to play games on it as well.
I have never heard about Odin 2 before.
