-
Yuuki Shio 🏳️⚧️ (@YuukiArikawa) reported@Khirassj @CharmandAznable I'd rather pay for a flight to Japan than use Crunchyroll. If watching anime legally really helps, support other platforms, not the Star or UNESCO monopoly. That's preferable to having to endure the worst dubbing in history.
-
Dubious1ty (@Dubious1ty) reported@yamanakanobody Piracy is on the upswing in the US again because everything is fragmented across multiple streaming services which keep raising their prices. Along with the general terrible state of our economy. Otherwise people used to prefer paying for subscriptions like Crunchyroll.
-
🔞 morti (@homolust) reported@r0settast0ner if they don’t fall into the first category of person. no one should be using crunchyroll anyway lmao the subs have always been terrible.
-
TheMadStrategist (@mad_the56183) reported@yamanakanobody I wouldn't mind, with a small asterisk. As of right now, I refuse to support Crunchyroll because they refuse to respect the work and from what I've heard, they treat their voice actors like ****. If one came around that respected the source and voices, I'd absolutely buy.
-
Exodus (@Keyblader007) reported@Crunchyroll Funny enough that’s not what they are called in Japanese but it’s not a terrible translation localization for understanding sense.
-
bunies (@buniesinfernal) reported@yamanakanobody long as the quality was good and it was not monopolized by one source everyone hates like crunchyroll then then yes most people would pay
-
CowboyFox (@PassionOwl263) reported@Audbih @AnimexTwts No. Crunchyroll is a monopoly and they know it so they make it impossible to watch anime legally without paying an arm and a leg or watching a ridiculous amount of ads. Until these problems are solved im not paying for **** and im not watching ads either
-
Manolo 🇧🇷 (@omanoloneto) reported@GodListens777 @m90w09m @Mashiro_yuh Yes, there are cheaper plans in some cases, but they usually come with important limitations — for example, mobile-only access, only one user, and ads. Crunchyroll also has lower-cost options depending on the market. And that actually proves the point: when anime is officially available in Brazil in an accessible way, it is usually much less targeted by piracy. The titles that are most often pirated are usually the ones that are not officially available anywhere in Portuguese. So for many people, the issue is not “I refuse to pay.” It is often “there is no realistic official option in my language.”
-
ForgeThought (@Forge_Thought) reported@yamanakanobody The problem is this. I watched "Sweetness and Lightning" with my wife years ago. Loved it. Now I want to watch it again, it's not available anywhere. Crunchyroll refused to renew its license. So its not on streaming services. I went to buy the DVD/Blu Ray. But this happens a lot.
-
Sylviia (@MySylvii) reported@VHSDVDBLURAY4K I mean.. he's right. Same goes with the anime piracy. If sites like crunchyroll (which has had major issues to the point I wouldn't pay them another dime) would actually offer all anime at lower costs I'm sure people would start using the official sites more.
-
BadRedMan (@Milquetoast4u) reported@yamanakanobody I would certainly pay. I currently pay for Crunchyroll, but it's awful. I want something better.
-
// Zachary. | occupied with THE HORRORS (@haunterfan) reportedhot take i dont think artists need to be inherently FOR not making money yes, i support piracy. i pirate all the time. i started getting into this SERIES by pirating before i had access to crunchyroll but its understandable she wouldnt approve of it. its HER work.
-
Rexxy (@RexxyPlus) reported@yamanakanobody For anime especially, I wish Japan would bypass American companies and sell to us directly. Lots of American translators insert their ideologies into the translations of the shows they work on at services like Crunchyroll. It's a bit messed up.
-
GlassEyeArt (@GlassEyeArt) reportedstop the awful translation like "she goes for virgins" that was changed to "she goes for incels" .... maybe we can have a conversation but until then I can't take crunchyroll seriously at all .... #crunchyroll
-
MCTWISTMCFIST (@Mctwistmcfist) reported@TylaferPage @AnimexTwts not being poor ever since disney took crunch roll its terrible and what about the anime that crunchyroll does not have?
-
🇦🇺Wolf (@AWolf1989) reported@ChibiReviews Whoa, whoa, don't smile too broadly there, Chibi. It's NETFLIX! Sure, Crunchyroll deserves to crash and burn after all it's done, but Netflix are very close to being just as bad.
-
David Dears (@RealDavidDears) reported@yamanakanobody I pay for a Crunchyroll (CR) and HiDive subscription. I want HiDive to improve and stick around because CR moralizes too much. CR take out scenes or mistranslate for their own agenda and I want to see the work as the author intended as much as possible.
-
Daniel (@Mad_DanielFL) reported@gravitronx2727 @Cyan_with_a_bh The team behind HGS doesn’t even work at Crunchyroll anymore, and I like how you ignore all the ACTUAL anime they helped produce since 2015
-
MEME (@TICCOIN1b) reportedthe other day, our favorite anime websites is getting taken down. What if we get rid of the problem and take down Crunchyroll instead? think about it.
-
Biggles_Mets (@BigglesMets) reportedDoes Crunchyroll not have someone over see subtitles? How are you going to do a sub and not use the correct homophone? Maybe this is why they have awful localizations.
-
Kim (@K792342796020) reported@haiyama0704 @SFumoto I have never used it myself, before or after, but Crunchyroll started as a for-profit piracy site where users uploaded fansubs made by various unaffiliated groups. Then they got bought by Sony, and the translation quality went down the drain.
-
Hunter_ (@XStonedLuffyX) reported@Not_Toby @millw11488 @AnimexTwts thank y'all so much i've been wanting a legal replacement for Crunchyroll since they are ****** more then ever started 4 me when naruto is only sub but shippuden and naruto movies aren't like **** you a year or so ago i watched it a work all english
-
Jielhar (@Tozrok) reported@yamanakanobody As Gabe Newell from Valve put it, "piracy is almost always a service problem". Gamers largely buy their videogames from Steam because it's legal and convenient, and many paid for their anime on Crunchyroll when it was a good service. Without a good legal option, we turn to piracy
-
Quinn (@InputVoid) reported@yamanakanobody There’s an extra problem for us. Our anime licensing is so split up that to watch everything you want, you’d be paying close to $50 a month to have access to every service. That’s Netflix, Hidive, Crunchyroll, Ocean Veil, and Prime Video. And that’s only if they get licensed…
-
Corey Lee 🦅 (@4xcut9999) reported@Crunchyroll please fix the ******* lag on the One piece audio. Thanks.
-
Handsome_t0x (@t0xicc0ma) reported@SeehIsMe So i was in a hotel for the last week. And their wifi wouldnt let me use my typical anime streaming site. So i used the free trial for crunchyroll. WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!! Never again will i use crunchyroll.
-
YeaFasho (@bigcamdf) reported@AnimexTwts I really don’t see the problem for paying barely 12 bucks a month for Crunchyroll. I even go on YouTube if I’m feening like that or if I others don’t have what I’m looking for.
-
Leminala 🇯🇵 (@leminala) reported@courtbanashi @ShopCrunchyroll Not gonna lie, I legit want crunchyroll to just go out of business at this point. Absolutely awful company. There's no doubt in my mind that a replacement will pop up before long, and yheres already other options such as Amazon and RACS
-
The X-Philes (@LOLFlagInBio) reported@SeehIsMe Also my experience with Crunchyroll has been that when you do finally find an anime you want to watch, you always get one or two episodes where every single video/mirror is broken in some way, so I always just go back to pirate sites which rarely seem to have this problem
-
Uncultured (@Uncultured91) reported@AnimexTwts Crunchyroll would be great if they could sort out the localisation and if everything was on there, turn comments back on, fix the boot up to not auto play what you last watched. And **** off hiring people with agendas to translate the subs.
