  @zkurishi It is quite remarkable that the studios licensed their works to Crunchyroll for overseas distribution, including the subtitles and dubbing, but they cannot see what Crunchyroll does to their products. Strange because SONY now controls Crunchyroll. I expected more quality control.

  "These people are unbelievably stupid and unserious." Oh, I found you. You are of Canadian origin (not Japanese). Meanwhile, @zkurishi, who is Japanese and lives in Japan, literally said: "I receive a lot of messages from overseas about Crunchyroll, but it's geoblocked and inaccessible from Japan, so it's pretty much an unknown world to most Japanese people. However, it's an issue that's very relevant to the overseas distribution of Japanese anime." He called it an "invisible curtain." That's the exact point of the post. @ChibiReviews agreed with him. Regional licensing exists, but so does the lack of visibility for Japanese creators and fans on how their work gets localized abroad. You called me a stupid? How hilarious you are. Stop lying.

  🚨Crunchyroll Issues Phishing Warning Crunchyroll confirms it will never request personal information via email or SMS, urging users to avoid suspicious links. The alert follows a March 2026 breach involving a third-party vendor, which exposed user support data and led to a rise in phishing attempts.

  @ArcherSys @SmashJT @Crunchyroll Nothing. It's licensing issues.

  The problem with Crunchyroll is that the streaming quality is ******* atrocious (it buffers, sometimes jumps ahead ten seconds, and can get super pixelated), but there's no other way to watch a lot of these shows legally, so I'm stuck with it.

  Crunchyroll gatekeeping and sabotaging Re Zero by abusing their authority as the main distributor is beyond greedy Muse Asia stepped up and provided a superior user experience and now they're being held back 2 weeks bc of corporate greed Vile disgusting practices that doesn't help Re Zero nor the audience, only Crunchyroll's bottome line This is beyond pathetic when a company resorts to suppressing competiton like this rather than improving the product and winning the customer over Capitalism can be beautiful when you have a game where innovation and competiton isn't gatekept by monopolies who don't even try anymore You as the customer can make an impact by choosing not to play Crunchyroll's game Forget about Echidna, this is the greed they talk about in the bible

  @Koishi_ihsioK @ChibiReviews Crunchyroll does not take into account that SEA ppl take anything as long as it's free. The legality of Muse Asia and Ani-one makes it more appealing to SEA. They could never overrule a region where the culture values less expense with quality product. If there's none, WE PIRATE!

  @Crunchyroll You should better improve your translation quality to earn more subscribers.

  It might be user error that I’m too lazy to fix but I HATE that whenever I watch shows in sub that Crunchyroll autmatically changes them to dub when I come back.

  🚨 CRUNCHYROLL NOT AVAILABLE FOR STREAMING IN JAPAN The platform does not operate its streaming service in Japan, meaning users there cannot watch anime through Crunchyroll This is due to licensing and distribution rights, where anime are primarily handled by local platforms instead. Rather than being an error, this is intentional industry practice, as domestic services take priority in Japan.

  @Crunchyroll any series that had no lolcalisation by your company .... The translation on Eminence in Shadows game is horrendeous. Especially on new chapters... Do you even have quality assurance team there ??????????????

  @Oxy_FG @Crunchyroll Well the first episode was 90 minutes long so if we do the math we’d have 6 errors in the same length 🗿

  @zkurishi Just look at the PRE-Crunchyroll going legit era. Then Subtitles where of extremely high quality, with TN notes, color coded fonts. and of course the subs not being intrusive by blocking the "fanservice" It even had Karaoke lyrics so you could sing with the OP/ED themes

  @AllbonesJones Steam also has the same problems with geo-blocking and forcing censoreship like Crunchyroll. Very bad example.

  How Sony should fix Crunchyroll -Consolidate everything Crunchyroll under the Aniplex brand & leadership -Subs, Streaming Service, physical media. No more Crunchyroll, only Aniplex -Put Japanese execs in charge. -Only hire Americans that are necessary for ACCURATE Subs & Dubs

  @giostaroth @ReZero_En @Crunchyroll As for specifically 19. And not more? Well season 3 and 4 were supposed to be 1 season all together. That’s why season 4 came out so early. Whitefox or their producers or whoever ordered for 38 total episodes to be made to adapt both arc 5 and arc 6. But due to production issues.

  @ToonHive Literally the worst merger in history man, Funimation should’ve been the app to still function not crappy Crunchyroll

  @nekaishi Crunchyroll is like Netflix. Geoblock is to protect Japanese media from losing currency to Crunchyroll, since Japan has TV channels. The censorship, however, is what Japan could help tackle. Japan could potentially team up with Korea and China to launch a streaming service.

  Hearing that Crunchyroll is blocked in Japan because wokies who work there know they'd get the licenses for the anime they "translate" (read: butcher and vandalize) revoked and cost them their jobs as me worried for any potential English airing of the Suikoden anime.

  first episode was alright? prob the weakest ep 1 of any of the seasons, in that regard i'd say s3 > s1 > s2 > s4. liked the ana scene even though it was changed from the novel. crunchyroll subs sucked ***, but the main issue was the pacing/flow, felt a bit off. decent ep imo
