  • ULTRAS_KO ULTRASKO (@ULTRAS_KO) reported

    @Ultragalaxy4 We need crunchyroll to fix vanguard season 1. They put the wrong version

  • thellamapool Llamapool (@thellamapool) reported

    @alvianchoiri @screentime Their problems don’t excuse you pirating content, but your actions directly affect them when a show isn’t renewed because of budget cuts and such. Not saying Crunchyroll isn’t a **** company, but you’re using that as an excuse to steal content and acting like no one gets hurt.

  • moon_dweller5 Selena🌙 (@moon_dweller5) reported

    @yuriboobslover For awards show I low key think it is 😭 even the terrible crunchyroll awards aren’t mostly commercials and speeding by the smaller categories Granted maybe this is how he funds the awards but I think he could do more to take it seriously

  • HANdred_GB Brandon 🪶🏆☕️🪡 (@HANdred_GB) reported

    Solo Camping for Two episodes have been replaced by Tougen Aniki episodes for over a week now. How long does it take to fix this problem? @Crunchyroll

  • VoidartAI VoiD ART (@VoidartAI) reported

    @Charcharo @claymoreman69 @LopEaredFaggot The only companies allowed to exist are the ones butchering the original work, censoring and changing the dialogue/texts under the guise of "localization" like crunchyroll.

  • chukwuma186m Anon (@chukwuma186m) reported

    @lokishated @terrificprodig1 Crunchyroll does the work

  • Homo_sapien21 Shindda Velly ⚔️ (@Homo_sapien21) reported

    @Gregori__10 @LeonMoser @itsfoss2 1. Hianime has low bitrate video despite having 1080p i have personally compared Hianime and Crunchyroll 2. Anime apps on tv uses Hianime like sites so low quality

  • TheMags53 ST. ETHANBARON V. MOSSJURO (@TheMags53) reported

    @VjDontMiss Award season doesn't work like that. The studios need to do a proper campaign to get noms. Sony is going with K-Pop Demon Hunters with Netflix and Crunchyroll is going with Demon Slayer. There's 0 chance for Chainsaw Man to even get a single nomination. It's not an awards movie

  • chapinin ninjamurai (@chapinin) reported

    @Crunchyroll Stretch after work people. Do it for your future self.

  • FlashFireFist_ Dabi #ThankYouKoheiHorikoshi (@FlashFireFist_) reported

    @raerylilx Everything I said is literally true. He had a CR account, and then the day Sony bought them, he switched up on the platform damn near instantly. Claiming he always hated Crunchyroll and was praying for it to get shut down, and you can’t support an industry and then advocate for the one thing that hurts it. Piracy is no longer a service issue. It’s a “I want **** for free” issue.

  • deviljr4 Oni_Fotia (@deviljr4) reported

    @MishaTurtleX @Dexerto Yeah **** no Crunchyroll is half the reason why we have these issues….

  • fzudemrian Flo (@fzudemrian) reported

    @Graaffiti If you don't have enough money for a crunchyroll subscription, you have other problems you should fix before

  • AricinGrey Aricin (@AricinGrey) reported

    @phantompain281 Because CrunchyRoll did a terrible job explaining that it was just for S1 of Solo Leveling

  • flee4mayor UNCLE FLEE 👨🏿‍🦳 (@flee4mayor) reported

    @bcmusic1st Kopy I like Klutz personally, but intricacy ain’t the issue in this case, a lot of these guys references are just too obscure.. ****** be referring to shows that you can only watch on crunchyroll in Japanese with subtitles and then be mad when nobody know wtf they talking about

  • Duelist360 DuelistDeCoolest (@Duelist360) reported

    @Crunchyroll Speaking of things that happened a long time ago, remember when Crunchyroll cared about providing a quality service to its users? Fix your subtitles.

  • ULTRAS_KO ULTRASKO (@ULTRAS_KO) reported

    @Ultragalaxy4 I will try to talk to crunchyroll if they can fix it. Because asia circuit , link joker and legion mate is on CR but not season 1

  • dergjugs420 ❄️🖤 𝕾𝖜𝖆𝖌𝕱𝖊𝖒 𝕽𝖎𝖟𝖟𝖑𝖊𝖗🎄🔮 (@dergjugs420) reported

    before i really knew how to pirate as a 12-13 year old i would rely on this one obscure site that would be able to rip mp4 files directly from crunchyroll and when crunchyroll upgraded their security and the site didn't work anymore it was like my own personal 9/11

  • this_gustDev Gust (@this_gustDev) reported

    @eepyeri @nyaskiez i tried and it was pretty good but I'm a weeb and crunchyroll didn't work cuz of drm so i switched back

  • Elijahonceagain Elijah🔜 (@Elijahonceagain) reported

    Chainsaw movie not being on Crunchyroll until 2026 is crazy work

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @qcfraudhunter @gaak_fr Common complaints about Crunchyroll include poor streaming quality, unreliable subtitles (especially after shifting to AI), high pricing with ads, server issues during peak times, and controversies like the Funimation merger leading to lost content or features. Recent 2025 issues involve subtitle delays, award show biases, and perceived greed in licensing. Opinions vary; some fans still value its library.

  • FlashFireFist_ Dabi #ThankYouKoheiHorikoshi (@FlashFireFist_) reported

    @ChronoSaturn42 Piracy is illegal. Piracy used to be a service issue, but in this day and age, people do it because why pay for anime when you can find it somewhere for free? People are supposed to support their hobbies. Crunchyroll is the cheapest anime service for its value.

  • KissingGooses Goosey (@KissingGooses) reported

    @Mad_DanielFL @zoezoezoee You didn’t explain anything you just keep saying “help produce” “invest”. As if that means crunchyroll literally makes anime now. I don’t think you know what they mean.

  • Nhat5202Vu denjimo (@Nhat5202Vu) reported

    @phantompain281 Thats all about popularity. Crunchyroll has been terrible lately since they prioritize popularity over quality.
