Strauss McKai (@Darth_Phantom7) reportedPractical ways people can reduce support and help beyond the PlayStation Blackout. Subscriptions: Cancel PlayStation Plus, any Sony-linked streaming or music services where available, Crunchyroll if subscribed, and related network services. Check account settings on PlayStation Network and other Sony platforms for recurring charges. Social media: Unfollow official Sony, PlayStation, Sony Pictures, Sony Music, and related studio/label accounts across platforms. Purchases, viewing, and listening: Avoid buying PlayStation hardware/software/games, Sony electronics (TVs, cameras, headphones, etc.), new Sony Music releases or physical media, and tickets/merchandise tied to Sony Pictures films or shows. Skip theatrical releases, home video, and streaming of Sony-distributed content when alternatives exist. Stock: If you hold Sony shares (traded as SONY on NYSE or 6758 on Tokyo), you can sell them through your brokerage. Individual retail sales have limited impact on a large-cap company, but collective action can signal sentiment.

Matty (@toxicdebris) reportedThis was the worst thing to happen for the anime/manga community here in the States. Like we took rightstuf for granted and now we’re stuck with bullshit soup from crunchyroll phasing out physical media thanks to them and Sony 😒
-
Shrikedan (TT-Ver. 2.5) (@Shr1k3d0n) reported@IzDisNameTaken I think what’s more infuriating about this…IS THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO SIMULCAST NORMALLY WITH THEIR ANIME ON CRUNCHYROLL!!! So I don’t know why they’re having such a hard problem doing it online, ESPECIALLY ON YOUTUBE!!!
-
donut (@unohana1992) reported@DarksMusics @ChibiReviews Viz still heavily lets our physical so does sentai and some other manga publishers. Crunchyroll is the real issue since Sony is pushing to kill physical media.

Wise_wonder (@Demmygod_01) reported@RRsRealdaddy Funny you’re putting boruto on the same level as an anime that not only broke crunchyroll servers but the internet as a whole, and nobody ever said bleach and dragon ball were on the same level, how flawed are your deduction skills??

The Phenomenal Returns (@FrancisNarrow) reported@OtakuEspiritu This was specially oblivious when Sony announced the end of their physical game productions, Sony was already in the **** but that news was enough to destroy their reputation. Like you said, I don’t see a way for them to recover from this, and this move Crunchyroll is doing? I saw it a mile away, they weren’t doing a great job at it anyways, guess this was enough excuse I suppose. We just witnessed history last month, a very bad decision that’s gonna escalate into something worse in the future, that is unless we do something about it, and if there’s a time to do so, that time is now. It may not work, probably not but hey we have to at least show our independence of free thinking, that we aren’t just sheep baaaaaaah-ing to everything they dare to throw at us. Who knows man? Maybe it could work if we protest long enough, specially using our wallets.

Windy_Pointz (@windydanchou) reportedWe are finally at the death throes of "hollywood" trying to basically take over anime. Thanks to everyone using Crunchyroll, you are going to see more and more mainstream garbage trying to ride the coattails of what made anime work.

Hasan AK (@HasanAliKhawari) reported@AnimexTwts Solo Leveling. But for context I was born with dysgraphia and dyspraxia disabilities that made it really difficult to write. Because of that I always had like the worst grades in elementary school because all elementary is, is pretty much drawing, and writing and as a person in a paper based school that’s kind of impossible for me to do so I had horrible grades Then in high school I got something called an iep that waived class requirements like math and physics And then Covid happened where everything went online and i graduated high school, I then signed up for college and I got and iPad with an Apple Pencil to turned out that the friction between the pencil and paper is what stopped me from writing because my fingers are weak I guess lol But on an iPad the Apple Pencil just glides across the smooth surface frictionlessly, this meant that I could write, but because my iep made by my high school never expected me to go to college the classes I skipped in high school I was missing the foundations for college level classes, and my Pell grant is limited so I was worried if I used it on high school level classes I’d run out of money for actual college classes to finish my college degree Then a new system came out called ChatGPT, I started using it during the ChatGPT 3.5 turbo generation and have been using it since now days I use ChatGPT 5.6 sol thinking and I always have the plus subscription and consider it a $20 a month school supply cost and pay for it using the Pell grant All of this is background context now for solo leveling spoilers: I used ChatGPT to tutor myself everyday, when a teacher teaches they need to teach ina generalized way to make sure everyone understands, like if the calculus one teacher goes up to the board and uses ODM gear as an analogy for sin and cos and how they function and only one student in the class watched attack on Titan everyone else wouldn’t understand what he’s saying, so our current educations systems critical flaw is that it generalizes learning. ChatGPT has memory now, so when I fed it my Crunchyroll watchlist it’s able to teach me stuff in a personalized way, like when it taught me the concept of an asymptote it used gojos limitless technique as an analogy and I instantly understood the concepts Normal teachers teach everything in a generalized way from scratch ChatGPT uses memory to teach you new concepts from stuff you already understand in your life so that you’re not learning stuff from scratch. So you learn at an accelerated/faster rate. Then kids started getting caught using ai to cheat and ai got a bad reputation at colleges, i use ai to learn skills that i then use to apply on tests, quizzes, and assignments, the ai doesnt do the work for me all college work is done manually by me but the studying and tutoring is done with the ai as my teacher (the ai being ChatGPT 5.6 SOL thinking with memory and reference other chats enabled) I then even raised my gpa high enough to get honors. Anyway point is: Jinwoos arc is that he lacks a ability everyone else has naturally and then gains access to a computer system that give him power, like me and ChatGPT and my iPad and Apple Pencil, he can’t tell anyone about the system and I can’t tell anyone at college about ChatGPT because they’ll instantly think I’m cheating even though I’m not but the ChatGPT just has a bad reputation at colleges because of the number of people that misuse it. Over time Jinwoo stops feeling satisfied by winning fights because they are too easy, I started to feel this way too, when your used to failing there’s a joy you feel when you get an A+ on an exam, when you spend all day studying and get an A+ you don’t get that same feeling, you just add it to the stack of A+ previous exams you’ve taken, it gives you a feeling similar to what saitama felt in one punch man Jinwoo slowly starts to lose his humanity, everyone around you celebrates when you get a A+ but for you it’s just normal now.

Okeanix (@Okeanix1) reportedCrunchyroll could easily fix this by allowing only paying subscribers to vote, but they don’t. Crunchyroll allows ratings and votes from people who don’t even have a subscription to watch the episode. They use this to their advantage to make platform more valuable (fake).
-
🌸 Mina Sandoval🌷 (@osakuroha) reportedIt’d be something if they invested in high quality ANIMATIONS, since that would be directly related to their actual audience. The reason Crunchyroll hasn’t been as successful here is because their animations have been rather mediocre and resulted in poor animations.
-
CosmicArchangel (@Knightangel717) reported@ChibiReviews Here's the trouble: I've never done anything illegal in my life, and otherwise had no intention of doing so. However, I would totally leave Crunchyroll if I knew where I could find the shows I want to watch in DUB, preferably without having to pay or pirate them.
-
Dan Mansfield mmjdanny.bsky.social (@MMJDanM) reported@laserkidprime It’s awful. Rightstuf had AAA customer support and then CR booted it all for a worse version of the Funimation team (which was already mediocre even before the merger with Crunchyroll).
-
junkkun (@ItWeenie) reported@ViewtifulVal @SoundCadence “rip gaianx” you sound corny and that studio with terrible management doesn’t need your sympathy. “I was so honored to get to be in the Gunbuster Dub” Yeah, well it suck. Gunbuster was better off without an english dub that doesn’t much different than what crunchyroll churns out

MrPluhini (@MrPluhini) reported@tasteof_rage Them crunchyroll are absolutely the worst
-
Edw3012 🇩🇴 (@Iloveducks36494) reported@jerkman11 @ChittyBittyBang @Anhiksi How is this cope? You can ask any bleach fan how the marketing was and they'll say it was awful Bleach TYBW would 100% be more popular if it was on Crunchyroll or Netflix, hell even Prime Video.

Ringe (@Ringe2957) reported@nmpilaa I wouldn't mind another batman anime but crunchyroll is a problem
-
Gerard Krupa (@uxian) reported@Favwontmiss I complained to Crunchyroll once about an issue with their app. They blamed it on the number of devices (not the number of concurrent streams which was never more than 1) and told me I needed an upgraded subscription despite their Ts & Cs permitting any number of installs.
-
Ruben O’Neill #DEMO REEL RELEASED# (@rubenoneillii) reported@ToastieBo1 It's gonna happen bro. 2021 I busted butt and manifested I would work with Crunchyroll and 2025 it happened. You WILL make this happen.
-
Teaser Master Takagi-San (@nflteasertakagi) reported@HadenaZubon The problem is Crunchyroll is getting their grubby hands on production level parts of the creation now. Not just the licensure.
-
Anime News by AIR (@AIR_News01) reportedSince blame is being placed on the media, we want to chime in. The "Crunchyroll Anime Future Forum" announcement isn't the type of thing we usually cover (and we didn't), but AIR did receive the press release. Its breakdown of participants included this line verbatim: "Legendary filmmaker and anime and manga fan Guillermo del Toro is confirmed.", along with headshots of him. We're not disputing Mr. del Toro's denial of participation; we just want to emphasize that this didn't originate as a media error or fabrication.
-
Nitrix (@Nitrix79) reportedNot surprised. They’re probably make a Crunchyroll app on Switch 2 eventually. If Nintendo lets them lol. No video apps that are on Switch 1 work on Switch 2 which is really stupid. They’ll probably stop supporting the YouTube Switch 1 app soon too maybe. I’m not sure.

🇯🇵🇨🇱 𝕆𝕋𝔸𝕂𝕌 𝕂𝔼ℕ𝕂𝔸ℕℝ𝕐𝕌 (@kamikazekaito20) reported@notbl47ze @AnimeSpotlightt That adapted Korean webtoon doesn't belong in Japan, it was adapted by a greedy animation studio that almost went bankrupt adapting the same series @A1pictures Instead of finding and supporting original Japanese animated films to support the Japanese industry, you help promote inventions of Western adaptations from platforms like Crunchyroll
-
mothdamn (@mothdamn) reported@StellaNoxEclair You can blame crunchyroll for the current state of dubbed anime they cast the same 10 generic voice actors because they work for scrap theres one va that has done almost 30 different dubs alone as if we aren’t in a job crisis
-
Alex (@Doom_Be3) reported@BuruuNikami @heisei_ramen Crunchyroll is the problem honestly

Muhammad Wandi Araya🇮🇩☪️ (@Raya33276481) reported@ChibiReviews It doesn't help that Sony wants all-digital future in 2028, combined with Crunchyroll pulled all physical media sales on their store
